According to renowned American businessman and investor, Robert Kiyosaki, an “Asset can be anything as long as it has value, produces income or appreciates, and has a ready market. Assets put money IN your pocket.” Before Kiyosaki’s popular Rich Dad Poor Dad book was published, many of us viewed our homes as our assets. But we now realize, so long as we’re paying a mortgage on it, our home is actually our bank’s asset. It is producing an income for the bank first and foremost. This same concept applies when it comes to your book and how it was published.
