The first time I read Robert Kiyosaky book Rich Dad Poor dad, I felt as if Robert was talking about me and telling my story. How was that and how it was reflected on my entrepreneurial life?

I still remember that night in Nusa Dua in Bali like yesterday, It was the last holiday I’ve had while I was working as an employee,

It seems that the beauty of the place and the moment played a big part in pushing me to quit my job and start the entrepreneurial experience .

That night was very special, as during which I tasted one of the best dishes I’ve ever experienced until that day.

Both me and my wife couldn’t decide what to eat that night, while enjoying a second to non breeze and the magic sound of the beach waves so we decided to ask the waiter to recommend something for us , as we usually do when we travel. The rest is a new, different, strange, amazing taste of a well done Mie goreng with such a mixing of texture, colours, spices, smells, I still can feel the taste now

I wanted to share that today,

I’m a big fan of food, and cooking new things in general, in fact

my wife always tells me that I’m the king of sandwiches, of all types, as well as Pizzas and Crepes, I’ve my own set of pans and other tools in the Kitchen as cooking is a moment of joy for me with each meal of dish I cook, especially when I see Ihssen or the kids enjoying each every bite or spoon.

Considering the fact that I’ve lived in 3 continents, and being a big fan of travel, I’m having fun mixing different cuisines that I’ve experienced and tasted in different parts of the world and usually it works great, with new tastes.

I’m really thinking of opening a restaurant, or small sandwich chain, after a few years.

In fact I guess what attracted me to this entrepreneurial word, or business building, coaching, and maybe restaurants, was the fact that I’m a true living example of Robert Kiyosaki Book : Rich Dad, Poor Dad,

I remember the first time I’ve read the book, I said, Boy, he’s talking about me, as my Dad how was an Assist Agriculture Engineer, was educated, a big reader, and very strict in terms or rules and importance of education and did his best to pass the same to us, My eldest brother, my Sister and me, He amazingly succeeded with the help of my mother to manage the limited employment salary to grant us a decent life, without a feel that we’re poor, and to make sure we all succeed our education and get good jobs. On the other hand, I had my uncle, my mother’s brother, who was not educated at all, and had a mechanics garage. My uncle, in fact was almost the only one not educated in both my father and my mother families, but he was doing more than all my aunts and uncles doing together, living a good life, travelling whenever he wants, helping whoever in need in the family and loved by everyone, and mostly enjoying and loving his job.

It happens that the big family spend the summer holidays in my uncle’s big house, fully sponsored by him, and I was always watching and admiring him, in fact my first business, immediately after graduated from the university was a car repair center, I don’t thing it was a random choice, I guess both consciously and unconsciously I was positively inspired by my Rich dad.

I’ll say that I was very lucky living between those 2 world, and my life got shaped by both of them, yes I learned the importance of entrepreneurship and freedom from my oncle, after 3 decades of my life I got the habit of books reading from my dad, and today I’m doing an average of 50 books per year, I even started writing books, so …

This is my story between a Rich Dad and strict to the rules dad.
