Each of us resides in at least one of the four sections (quadrants)
of the CASHFLOW Quadrant. Where we
are is determined by where
our cash comes from. Many of us are employees who rely on paychecks,
while others are self-employed. Employees and self-employed individuals
reside on the left side of the CASHFLOW Quadrant.
The right side
is for individuals who receive their cash from businesses they own or
investments they own.
The CASHFLOW Quadrant is an easy way to categorize people
based on where their money comes from.
Each quadrant within the
CASHFLOW Quadrant is unique, and the people within each one
share common characteristics. The quadrants
will show you where
you are today and will help you chart a course for where you want to
be in the future as you choose your own path to financial freedom.
While financial freedom can be found in all four of the quadrants, the
skills of a B or I will help you reach your financial goals more quickly.
Successful E’s need to become successful I’s
to ensure their financial
security during retirement.
What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?
This book is, in many ways, Part II of my book,
Rich Dad Poor Dad.
For those
of you who may not have read Rich Dad Poor Dad, it is about
the different lessons my two dads taught
me about money and life
choices. One was my real dad, and the other was my best friend’s dad.
One was highly educated and the other was a high school dropout. One
was poor, and the other was rich.
