Blair Singer - Sales Dogs : You Do Not Have to Be an Attack Dog to Be Successful in Sales (Rich Dads Advisors series)

My poor dad often said, What you know is important. My rich dad said, If you want to be rich, who you know is more important than what you know. Rich dad explained further, saying, Business and investing is a team sport. The average investor or small-business person loses financially because they do not have a team. Instead of a team, they act as individuals who are trampled by very smart teams. That is why the Rich Dads Advisors book series was born. Rich Dads Advisors will guide you to help you know who to look for and what questions to ask of your advisors so you can go out and gather your own great team of advisors.

Business and Investing is a team sport.

Each of us has a million-dollar idea in our head. The first step in turning your idea into millions, maybe even billions of dollars, is to protect that idea.

All of us sell in one way or another. It is important for you to find your own unique style. Blair Singer is respected internationally as an extraordinary trainer, speaker, and consultant in the fields of sales, communication, and management.

This book is dedicated to all the lonely
sales managers throughout time
who ever tried to teach their
old dogs some new tricks!

To my son Benjamin, who is the Ultimate SalesDog!

I can only say that I have been blessed in my life to have been in the presence of the best teachers and leaders there have ever been. You may not read about them in Fortune magazine and they may not have ended up in a history book or in Whos Who, but my life is rich today because of them. It seems that they have always presented themselves to me, as Dr. Buckminster Fuller once said, Always and only in the nick of time! I only hope that the lessons passed on to me will benefit others in ways that will honor my teachers.

Some of the people and teachers who have inspired and supported me are Eileen, my wife, who has always supported me and taught me the true meaning of unconditional love. My son Benjamin, who is the most wondrous inspiration ever created. My dear friend Robert Kiyosaki, whose brilliant mind helped create this project and without whom I might still be wondering who I could be someday. Kim Kiyosaki, who has always been a shining light and a wealth of informational and personal support. My father and grandfather, who are and were the greatest SalesDogs of all time. They taught me courage, integrity, humor and persistence. My mother and my grandmother, who showed me that strength is found in the power of love and commitment. My brother and two sisters, who have always been my best friends and my best sounding boards. My great late business mentor Robert Etelson, without whom I might still be driving a tractor in Ohio.

Thank you to my friend David Avrick, who has never refused to offer great mentoring advice, and to the incredible friends who have supported me in making this possible: Wayne and Lynn Morgan, Keith Cunningham (the ultimate Big Dog), Herman Wright (the Champion SalesDog), Richard and Veronica Tan, P. J. Johnston and Suzi Dafnis, Paul and Wendy Buckingham, Carol Lacey, Lawrence West, Jayne-Taylor Johnson, Pauline Abel, for her ability to keep me organized, Brenda Saunders, Jamie Danforth, Julie Belden, Dianne Coles, Sherry Maysonave, Cheri Clark, D. C. Harrison, and all of those many people who entrusted a piece of their precious time and education to me over the years.
