Cashflow Quadrants

Copyright by Cashflow Technologies, Inc.

Taking a little time to ponder on the graphic above will give you a summary of what this post holds. The Cashflow quadrants were developed by Robert T. Kiyosaki, author of the bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad. Robert throughout his years of spreading his knowledge on financial freedom, have used these quadrants over and over again. Simplicity combined with an abundance of useful principals that one could apply in our everyday lives. 

The letters on the graphic above depicts:

• E ~ employed 
• S ~ self employed 
• B ~business owners 
• I ~ investors

As we would divide these quadrants into a left and right portion, we can see more clearly that the left quadrant works to earn money. On the other hand, the right quadrant makes money work for them.

To keep things simple for this post, we shall discuss what are cashflow quadrants. In the world of business and finance, there are numerous types of cashflow i.e. operational cashflow, investment cashflow, financing cashflow. Here we are going to discuss your very own cashflow. 

1. Start by thinking of yourself as a commodity. You will determine what you're worth by actions that you take today. 
2. Then look closely at the quadrants and determine which quadrant you're in.
3. Then forget whatever that you're doing while reading this AND FOCUS ON WHICH QUADRANT YOU WANT TO BE IN! 
4. Study yourselves and note down all the best and worst qualities you currently possess. 
5. Seek a mentor to guide you in whichever quadrant you choose to be in. Be sure to take advice from someone who has been there and done that. Professional consultants who are paid to give you advice are often out of the question. They are paid to sell you words. The results will solely be the outcome of your own actions. 

Time to devote yourselves to a lifetime of learning. Nobody can guarantee you financial freedom but yourselves. So devote a little time in a day to LEARN. 

We have got to learn to crawl, walk, stumble and fall, before we finally begin to run and sprint.  J. Huntsman

Be on top of The Pyramid!

Imhotep pioneered the construction of pyramids in the early days. Pyramids were fashioned to mimic the royal palace and served as a burial chamber for the Pharaoh. Such architecture demanded strong desires and while the construction of the pyramid went through ups and downs, The Great Pyramid was the legacy of the ancient Egyptians to the world.

The society literally lives in a system of pyramids. The rich and powerful are always on top of this self-manifesting system. Robert Kiyosaki once said, "I have a problem with too much money. I can't reinvest it fast enough, and because I reinvest it, more money comes in. Yes, the rich do get richer". The individuals of this class have set their goals right. Challenging themselves to push their extra mile. And No, if your thinking AGE is a factor your obviously lacking some qualities to be in this upper class, The Influential Zone.

Individuals grow accustomed to their own class in this pyramid. Eventually this gave birth to the whole idea of 'The Comfort Zone'. People of this zone have yet to challenge themselves and push their limits. As I've mentioned before the human thought is a powerful tool that man(woman) often overseas. Clouded by the comfortable environment and coy surroundings, one tends to fall astray.

When people are lame, they love to blame

~Robert T Kiyosaki~

Don't allow yourselves to fall deeper down the pyramid, The Olympics Zone. Here you find individuals running a race. A race that goes on and on, UNLESS they finally come to realize that they are capable of far more greater achievements than they already had.

When your at your lowest, find ways to motivate, challenge and also most importantly reward yourselves. I leave you readers with a simple choice to make,

Do you want to be in the [I], [C], or [D]?

*[I], [C], or [D] can stand for many things but in my dictionary it stands for Ignited, Clouded and Dead. Make up your own definition and stay [I] gnited.
