LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," entrepreneur and financial literacy advocate, is kicking off GOBankingRates' 2014 "Best Personal Finance Expert" competition, which he has won for the last three years with the help of his substantial fanbase. Kiyosaki is one of 12 finalists in this year's competition, who were chosen by GOBankingRates staff with the collaboration of writers and editors at the top publications in the personal finance space.

GOBankingRates asked finalists to share their best tips for financial success in 2015; Kiyosaki urged readers to take ownership of their financial circumstances.

"Americans can stop seeing themselves as victims -- of the job market, Obamacare fallout, economic downturns, and the uncertain future of programs like Social Security and Medicare -- and stop relying on someone else to 'save' them," Kiyosaki said. "A shift in mindset (from 'victim' to 'champ') and a decision to put your talents, your intelligence, and your strengths to work will set you up to take control of your life and your financial future." >> Read his full tip here
