Robert Kiyosaki - "Losers quit when they fail. Winners fail until they succeed."

Welcome to the Daily Quote – I'm Andrew McGivern.

Brought to you by the ⁠Great News ⁠podcast.

Today's quote comes from Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad — one of the best-selling personal finance books in history.

He said:

"Losers quit when they fail. Winners fail until they succeed."

Read that again. He didn't say winners don't fail. He said winners fail until they succeed.

That one word — until — changes everything.

Most people treat failure as a verdict. It happens once, and they take it as a sign: I'm not cut out for this. It wasn't meant to be. I tried. And they stop. For many, failure feels like an insurmountable obstacle — it sends them retreating straight back to their comfort zone.

But Kiyosaki's point is that failure isn't a verdict. It's a data point. Failure isn't the opposite of success — it's the price of admission. Every time you fail, you've eliminated one more thing that doesn't work. You're not further from the answer — you're closer.

Kiyosaki himself self-published Rich Dad Poor Dad after every publisher turned him down. Barnes & Noble initially refused to stock it. He kept going anyway and the book has since sold over 32 million copies in 51 languages.

He didn't succeed despite failing. He succeeded because he kept going after failing.So here's the question: What have you quit that you should have kept failing at?

Because the difference between a loser and a winner isn't talent. It isn't luck. It's just this — one of them stopped, and one of them didn't.

Fail until you succeed.
