Robert Kiyosaki, American investor and celebrity author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' series of books, today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a smart man but has a stupendous job to bring Indian economy on track as he could upset a lot of people with his innovative ideas.
"He (Modi) is a very smart man but he has got a tough job (to bring back the Indian economy on track). I mean I would never want to be in his job. So, I am glad I am not there ... I never know. His innovative ideas are going to upset a lot of people, because everytime you bring some change, people will come after you," he told PTI here.
Kiyosaki is an American investor, businessman, self-help author, motivational speaker, financial literacy activist and financial commentator. He has written over 15 books which have combined sales of over 26 million copies.
Kiyosaki, also the Founder of the Rich Dad Company and Cashflow Technologies Inc, said Modi should look at giving right kind of financial education to school children, instead of teachers who do not have any knowledge of money.
"He (Modi) got to look at financial education. What is being taught. The problem with school teachers, you know, they are no rich people. So if a poor person teaches financial education, he will confuse students," he said.
"So if I was Mr Modi I would be looking for real entrepreneurs who are real teachers. Who really know what they are talking about. Who practice what they teach every single day," he said.

Kiyosaki also operates various investments and external business ventures, most of which are concentrated in the publishing, retail, education, mining, energy, financial market, and real estate industries.
He said he would have a channel especially for the best teachers in entrepreneurship, finance and investing, who are not part of the major corporation, as every major corporation has an agenda.
"And I would stay away from the stock market because as you know it is rigged, big time," Kiyosaki said.
