The Cash Flow Quadrant
Lessons from the Cash Flow Quadrant
by Robert Kiyosaki
• In life, there are four (4) types of
income earners placed in quadrants .E for employees; S for small businesses or
self-employed people; B for bigger businesses; I for investors. Attached to these quadrants are ways these
people pursue a livelihood.
• 95% of the people fall in the E and S
quadrants provoking me to be sympathetic and want to change their predicament
through one per cent club. 5 % are in B and I.
• I was inspired to occupy B and or I
quadrants because they give me more financial freedom than E and S quadrants.
• And to stay in B quadrant, where the
focus is to create systems that work in one’s absence, these traits are
required:
Effective communication skills
Effective leadership skills
Emotional Intelligence
Financial literacy (on how to keep
shares
Financial
literacy (on how to keep shares, Intellectual Property, bonds… as assets rather
than money in a bank)
• Learn to invest and make money work
for you whilst you enjoy life. Get passive income from shares and bonds.
• The Employee quadrant taught me that I
ought to study hard and not to stick to a job, in the name of job security. Pay checks, experience,
promotion, overtime, and your boss do not make one rich. There will always be
limited time. Personal ego should not get into you so as to forego side
hustles. Take risks too and move out to escape the trap of slavery.
• S for Self-Employed: The income
earners use their small businesses to employ themselves and with the growth of
their business, their involvement also increases. This increases risks too.
Theirs need to increase financial education to mitigate against risks. These
people have limited time for leisure and financial freedom.
