Are you ready to learn how to succeed by using your whole brain?
Robert, who teaches people how to learn in new ways, says that many people are held back by fear -
especially fear about losing a job or making mistakes with money. Even smart, successful people
are often afraid to think differently. His goal is to help people stop following the crowd and start
thinking for themselves.
He believes true success comes from using your full brain - not just doing what everyone else does.
In his classes, he teaches people to be creative and come up with their own ideas, not just copy
others. That’s why he shares the quote by Warren Buffett: “You have to think for yourself.”
So what are “poor and middle-class dialects”?
Our brains copy what we see and hear from people around us. Scientists call this "mirror neurons."
This means we often end up acting, thinking, and speaking like those we spend time with. That’s
why people from similar backgrounds tend to have similar habits and beliefs about money.
Robert explains that poor and middle-class people often use words and ideas that come from a
mindset of fear or limits - like always trying to save money or avoid debt. Rich people, on the other
hand, talk about growth, investing, and enjoying the process of making money. Their way of
thinking is more open and focused on opportunities.
He also talks about how schools often reward students who are good at certain things, like math and
reading. But kids who are creative, artistic, or learn in different ways can feel left out or even think
they’re not smart. Sadly, many of these kids stop believing in themselves because they don’t fit the
school system's idea of what "smart" looks like.
Robert says how we see ourselves is really important. If we think we’re not good enough, others
might treat us that way too. But if we believe in ourselves and change how we think, people will
treat us differently - and we’ll have a better chance to succeed.
He shares that he had two role models: his “poor dad,” who thought getting good grades and a
secure job was the key to success, and his “rich dad,” who believed in building businesses and
making money work for you.
Robert chose to follow his rich dad’s path, because he realized he wouldn’t win by doing things the
traditional way. Instead, he used all parts of his brain - creativity, emotion, logic - to succeed.
He wants us to ask ourselves:
He wants to show that the words we use, the people around us, and our beliefs about ourselves all shape our future. We don’t have to follow the crowd - we can choose our own path to success and wealth.
Robert also talks about two big problems people face with money:
1. Schools don’t teach much about money. Even the best students graduate not knowing how to handle or grow their money.
2. Most people learn about money from others who aren’t good with money either. Because our brains copy what we see, we often pick up bad habits - like always trying to save instead of learning how to build wealth.
And the other one is about our subconscious mind. Curious about how school impacts the subconscious? Get ready to find out!
