¡Es hora de emprender el vuelo!

Kiyosaki's name is inextricable from the Rich Dad, Poor Dad franchise, and as part of that brand, she has developed a sterling reputation in personal finance education and business development self-help books (Rich Woman). In her newest, she focuses specifically on helping women achieve financial freedom according to a 3-part plan: aspire, acquire, and apply knowledge. Anecdotes from Kiyosaki and other successful women suffuse the book with life. The remainder is primarily a reiteration of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad curriculum: focus on positive cash flow instead of debt, practice due diligence, and diversify your assets. Kiyosaki lays out the basics of analyzing business statements, and encourages readers to learn as much as possible and remain goal oriented. Her dedication to supporting women in their quest for financial independence is laudable, and her book is easy to read, with several practical pieces of advice. However, like so many other financial self-help books, Kiyosaki often leaves out crucial details of how entrepreneurs and successful investors move from aspiration to actualization. Nevertheless, readers looking for an inspirational springboard for a financial education will find her guidance invaluable.
