Chapter Four | The 8 Integrities of Business<br />

Mission<br />

Rich dad said, “A business needs both a spiritual and a business mission to be<br />

successful, especially at the beginning.” When he explained this diagram to me, he<br />

always began with the mission since he thought it to be the most important aspect of<br />

the triangle, which is why it was at the base.<br />

“If the mission is clear and strong, the business will weather the trials every business<br />

goes through during its first ten years. When a business gets big and forgets its mission,<br />

or the mission it was created for is no longer needed, the business begins to die.”<br />

Rich Dad also said, “The most important of the B-I Triangle’s 8 integrities is the<br />

mission. The mission determines the product and the brand. It is the mission of the<br />

business that your customers love and mission generates brand loyalty.”<br />

Rich dad chose the words “spiritual” and “business.” He said, “Many people start a<br />

business only to make money. Just to make money is not a strong enough mission.<br />

Money alone does not provide enough fire, drive, or desire. The mission of a business<br />

should fill a need that the customers want. And if it fills that need, and fills it well, the<br />

business will begin to make money.”<br />
