If Kiyosaki's rhetoric sounds MLM-like, it's because he's made fistfuls of cash as a spokesman/motivator for the MLM movement, Amway specifically. The MLMs love these motivational speakers because they help keep people in the program buying product, even when they otherwise would have wised up and left. And it gives the higher-ups plenty of "training materials" (books, tapes, etc.) they can sell to their downline (which is how the real money gets made).
