Today, The Rich Dad Company offers financial-education courses as
well as the services of coaches and mentors to support a person’s
financial
education. Our programs are especially important for anyone wanting to
evolve out of the E and S quadrants into the B and I quadrants.
There is no guarantee that everyone will make it to the B and I
quadrants, yet they will know how to access those quadrants if they want to.
Change Is Not Easy
For me, changing quadrants was not easy. It was hard work mentally,
but more so emotionally and spiritually. Growing up in a family of highly
educated
employees in the E quadrant, I carried their values of education,
job security,
benefits, and a government pension. In many ways, my family
values made my transition difficult. I
had to shut out their warnings,
concerns, and criticisms about becoming an entrepreneur and investor.
Some of their values I had to discount were:
• “But you have to have a job.”
• “You’re taking too many risks.”
• “What if you fail?”
• “Just go back to school and get your masters degree.”
• “Become a doctor. They make a lot of money.”
• “The rich are greedy.”
• “Why is money so important to you?”
• “Money won’t make you happy.”
• “Just live below your means.”
• “Play it safe. Don’t go for your dreams.”
