The Journey Begins

I. August 9, 2006 - The Start

Today was the most amazing day!

My sister Karly and I met with Sharon Lechter about an Ambassador program and some ideas for Rich Dad Poor Dad.

We arrived at the Rich Dad office about 15 minutes early. After we had been sitting in the the lobby for a minute or two, we heard a voice and sure enough it was Mr. Robert Kiyosaki himself! We did not actually speak with him until later.

In the next couple of minutes, I needed to use the rest room, and as I was walking down the hall ... I got a surprise! Sharon Lechter was there! We immediately recognized one another and waved. As I excited the rest room, I saw Sharon turn the corner and I raced toward her. We went through all of the formalities of swapping names, exchanging greetings, and shaking hands. Then, we went upstairs to the studio.

In the studio we met more people and saw others that we recognized. After putting a cold microphone down our shirts, we started an interview. We opened up with our names and the grades we would be going into, and then Sharon threw some questions at my Dad. He answered them smoothly and without a flaw. Then it was my turn. I wasn't the least bit nervous, the only thing I was jittery with was excitement! This trend went on and also included my sister Karly. The interview lasted about 30 minutes.

After the interview, we went downstairs to have a formal business meeting. Karly and I presented our ideas to Sharon and two other WONDERFUL ladies, Kathy Grady and Mona. They listened intently, had comments, questions and overall loved our presentation. They loved it so much that they wanted to do a "cap" or followup interview and they wanted to start RIGHT AWAY!

This so exciting! First, they are setting Karly and I up a with a website ( still being created ... come back for the URL ) and then showed us how to set up this blog. Since our first idea was to create a Cashflow for Kids Clubs, they set us up with Cashflow 101 and Cashflow for Kids games!

We are ready to ROCK-AND-ROLL.

The "cap" interview rounded out the day.

We back upstairs to the studio and sat down with Sharon and talked to her about our business meeting and how much fun it was going to be working with Rich Dad. All the while, I was being blasted with REALLY COLD air. The air was so cold my teeth were chattering! ( I hope it does not show in the video :-)).

As we finished up the 5 minute interview and walked back down stairs to say our goodbyes, we met up with one of our old friends, Phil Lechter! Phil was the person who got us thinking about being Rich Family Ambassadors! I will tell you that story in another post.
