OF THE FOUR GROUP OF PEOPLE where DO YOU BELONG?
Today I want to share with you one of an interesting story from my mentor Robert Kiyosaki one of my favorite author of all time,To say the truth Robert contributed in a great way to make me stand Where and Who Iam today, Robert Kiyosaki is A multimillionaire,Entrepreneur,Investor,Personal Finance Advocate,and an Author mostly known for his best selling book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”
On this post I will share with you what Robert explains about an important diagram called “Cash Flow Quadrant”just read what Robert is trying to share with you.
“There was an important diagram my rich dad showed me when I was a little boy. It was a diagram known as the Cash Flow Quadrant. And the Quadrant is made of four different people who make of the business world.
So my rich dad said, “In the business world there are E’s and E stands for Employees. And the Employees, you can always tell who they are by their core values. An employee with the president, the generator of the company, will always say the same words. The words are, “I’m looking for a safe, secure job with benefits.” That’s what makes them employees because their core value is security.”
The other one of the four is the S for the Small business owner or the Self-employed and againtheir core values will cause them to use the same words which are, “If you want it done right, do it by yourself.” S means they are also solo. Generally one person act, they operate by themselves.
THE CASH FLOW QUADRANT
On the right side of the Cash Flow Quadrant are the B’s. And my rich dad said, “the B stood for Big business, like Bill Gates. Forbes define Big business as business with 500 employees or more. And their words are different.
They’ll say, “I’m looking for good system, good network, and the smartest people I know to help run my business.” Unlike the S, they don’t want to run the company by themselves. They want smart people run the company for them.”
And then, the fourth of the Cash Flow Quadrant is the I. And the I stands for the investor. These are people who have money work hard for them. People in B Quadrant have people work hard for them. And these people in the E & S Quadrant are the people who work hard for the rich here in the right side of the Cash Flow Quadrant, for the Bs and Is.
So, early on in my life it was my poor dad who always said to me, “You know Robert, go to school, and get a high paying job…” And so my poor dad’s core value was to be an employee. He wanted a job security, promotions, steady pay check and all these.
And so it was my rich dad who said to me, “You know, Robert, if you really want to be rich, learn to build businesses.” It made more sense to him to work hard to build a business. Something you own, and something you pass on from generation to generation to your kids.
Whereas my poor dad said, “work hard…” But my rich dad said,“Why would you work hard for something you’ll never own, and you can get fired from it right away?” Again, that was the difference of values.
So my rich dad suggested I learn how to be a business owner and learn how to be an investor. And that’s where the big difference is. On the left side of the Cash Flow Quadrant, these people work for security, they work for money also.
On the right side of the Cash flow Quadrant the B and I people’s key value, what they want is they want Freedom, financial liberty. They don’t want to have to work in a job anymore. They don’t want to have to work for the rest of their lives.
So the beauty of building a business and learning how to invest is very simply that this is passive income.You work hard for a few years and possibly for the rest of your life that passive income keeps flowing to you.”From 1960 to 2000 the value of the dollar has declined steadily.
“When you take a look at this 40-year run on the dollar, the dollar is designed economically to lose money every single year. So, why would you save something that loses money every year?
And what does this mean for you or for somebody on the retirement plans, if the value of the dollar goes down and your cost of living keeps going up after you retire?To my rich dad that was bad advice and made no sense. Again different values.”
So to summarize as we have seen what Kiyosaki was trying to explain it makes more sense to work hard in building a system (business) something you work hard for a few years and possibly for the rest of your life that passive income keeps flowing to you rather than working hard just to meet end needs.
