How to become Ultra-Rich
First and foremost step to become ultra-rich is to think it is possible. Most people think it is possible, but not for them. Unless you think it is possible for you, it is impossible. Most people dream of someday becoming a millionaire, but very few people have the potential of making a million dollars a month and more. That reality is not in their reality. You have the potential if you work at building your business, continue to study, learn about investments on the Fast Track, and keep improving yourself from inside out. But only you can do it for yourself and there are no guarantees. To study about the investments on the Fast Track of Robert Kiyosaki’s CASHFLOW game, his book “Rich Dad’s guide to investing” is the best book to follow. He further says that you have to stop using age as an excuse. His rich dad always said that Losers use their life situations as excuses to fail, and winners use their life situations as their reasons to succeed. Kiyosaki says that after reading his book “Rich Dad’s guide to investing”, to study a chapter once at a time starting with Chapter 20, which is the chapter on 90/10 riddle. Then, ask people to read the chapter and get together and discuss each chapter in depth.

There are many people who build business but not all of them have the power of a Business owner because the true power of a business owner lies in the Investor group. When you have the problem of too much money, you will be glad to choose to build your own business and that is through network marketing. When the government starts coming after you to pay more and more in taxes, at least you will have ways to legally invest your money instead of paying in taxes. And if you do pay taxes, you will pay at a lower rate, legally. Robert says that his “Rich Dad Poor Dad, Rich Dad’s lesson#2” is the importance of financial literacy which is of immense help in this regard. Explaining this concept further by drawing the following flip chart, he evaluates the loop holes in the financial statement of the employee and the business owner.

Taxes are employee’s single largest expense. One of the loop holes of the flip chart or the financial statement is that the employee gets taxed first and a business owner gets taxed last. Referring to the first and second tracks of the CASHFLOW game namely Rat Race and Fast Track, Kiyosaki says that 95% of the people are trapped in the Rat Race and the Fast track represents the investments of the rich. The game is designed to teach many things like accounting, cash flow management, investing, investing vocabulary, how to think strategically and more. There are two worlds of investing, one for the rich and one for the masses trapped in the Rat Race of life. Very few people have the opportunity to invest as the rich do that is investing in the investments found only in the Fast Track. The way most ultra-rich get to the Fast Track is through building a business. Very few people of the ‘Employee or self-employed’ group will ever enter the real Fast Track of life. The power of a ‘Business owner’ category is the business which has virtually no earning limitations and no international boundaries and which only can afford the investments of the rich.

Network marketing community

2007-04-25T22:05:00.000-07:00

The second reason for joining the network marketing system is to help others. There is that issue of money again. The beauty of most network marketing systems is that you do not really make much money unless you help others leave the ‘E and S’ quadrants and succeed in the ‘B and I’ quadrants. If you focus on helping others, then you will be successful in the business. The system will not work for you unless you have both tasks in mind. Again, the beauty of most network marketing systems is that you want to create assets, which are other ‘Bs’ working under you and their job is then to create other ‘Bs’ working under them. The traditional corporate system is really the pyramid. It is a pyramid because there are a few ‘Bs and Is’ at the top and more ‘Es and Ss’ at the base. A network marketing system is a reverse pyramid, which means it’s primary focus is to bring up more and more ‘Bs’ to the top. So one pyramid has its base on the ground and the other pyramid has its base in the air much like an upside-down. A pyramid that pulls you up not pushes you down.
Network marketing businesses give all of us access to what used to be the domain of only the rich.

Reason Number One

2007-04-25T22:01:00.000-07:00

Reason number one to help yourself means that you come to the business primarily to change quadrants. You want to change from ‘E or S’ to the ‘B’ quadrant. The change of quadrants require a change mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and that often took more time than it takes to get a college degree.
Kiyosaki illustrates this by quoting the real time example of his rich dad who spent over 30 years teaching me to think like a ‘Band I’ quadrant person and says that he is still learning to be smarter in those quadrants. That is why a network marketing company’s educational plan is more important than its products and compensation plan.
True ‘E and S’ quadrant people do not work unless they work for money. At the core of a true ‘E and S’ is money. A ‘B’ will build or create an asset in this case a business system .An ‘I’ invests in the asset or the system. True ‘E’ quadrant and ‘S’ quadrant people will not work for years without getting paid and they definitely do not like the risk of working hard for years with the chance of never getting paid. It’s not part of their core values. Risk and delayed gratification disturb them emotionally. Robert kiyosaki illustrates the concept of risk and delayed
gratification with the incident that took place in his life which lead him to his current position of a ‘B’ quadrant business man.

He says, “When I came back from Vietnam, many of my friends and classmates who avoided military service were well into their careers. They were beginning to make pretty good salaries. Instead of following their path, I spent my time with my rich dad, learning to build business. I had some financial disasters along the way. Between the years 1975 and 1985, I struggled and often failed. My wife Kim and I were homeless for about three weeks during this period but we never went back to the ‘E’ or ‘S’ quadrants. Things began picking up by 1986, and by 1994 we were financially free. In 1994,we sold our business and retired.

The top of the network marketing system is open to everyone, unlike the traditional corporate systems which allow only one person to reach the top of the company. The reason most people do not reach the top is simply because they quit too soon, even the top is wide open. Most people only join to make money. If they do not make money in the first few months or years, they become discouraged, quit, and then often bad-mouth the network marketing industry. Others quit and go looking for a company with a better compensation plan. There are two important reasons for joining the system apart from making money. Reason number one is to help yourself and Reason number two is to help others. If you join for only one of the two reasons, the system will not work for you. kiyosaki yahoo finance

Throughout history, the ‘B’ quadrant has been the domain of the rich. In fact, people in the ‘E’ and ‘S’ quadrants work for the ‘B’ quadrant people yet are never told of the ‘B’ quadrant. Our school systems educate us to be experts in the ‘E’ and ‘S’ quadrants but never educate us as to what it takes to create a ‘B’ quadrant business.

Now the network marketing industry has made access available without having to be rich and without having to go back to get an expensive college education which only trains you to be a better ‘E’ or ‘S’ anyway. Robert feels that the network marketing system and the industry has done a great service by “leveling the playing field”. They did this by making the opportunity for truly great wealth available to anyone willing to follow the system and enter the world of the ‘B’ quadrant, the quadrant of the ultra-rich.

2007-04-25T21:57:00.001-07:00

The value of Access into a ‘B’ quadrant business

In this chapter, Robert kiyosaki explains the ways to enter the ‘B and I’ side of the CASHFLOW quadrant through network marketing system and establish a ‘B’ quadrant business. He says that though the ‘B’ quadrant is much better than all other quadrants, the expense of building it goes far beyond just money. One main reason ‘S’ quadrant businesses remain ‘S’ quadrant businesses is because the cost of going from the ‘S’ to the ‘B’ is far greater than most ‘S’ quadrant business owners can afford or want to pay. Most ‘S’ quadrant business people are “hands-on” people which means they are actively involved in the business. For the ‘S’ quadrant business person, ”letting go” can be a very difficult, if not impossible, thing to do. A network marketing business offers all of us the opportunity to access a ’B’ quadrant business at a more affordable price and with much less effort because most of these companies had already invested the time and the money to build the ‘B’ quadrant business. All you have to do is invest a few dollars and instantly, you are in the business. Once you joined the business your job is simply to follow the plan and work at your own speed to build your own ‘B’ quadrant business

second important step

Second and very important step is to use all the young people and not-so- young people around you as energy and support to push you forward. Once you have the new reality, use their support to make your new reality. Ask for their help. They want to help you make it. But they can’t help you unless you want to help yourself and then allow them to help you.
The beauty of the network marketing business is that all you have to do to succeed is to help other people get the same things you want. This business is not measured in how much money you make, but in how many people you help and how many lives you change

Take enough time and soon you will find that via this method of group study and discussion, you will expand your minds beyond your current realities on investing. A person needs to educate himself or herself on the investments that the rich invest in. He or she has to make the investments of the rich a part of their reality. Most people think about investing from the lower and the middle class. They think investing is risky and they want to play it safe and invest in safe pre-packaged investments while the rich invest in the ranch that pre-packages the investments that the poor and the middle class buy. It is a completely different reality. Once you understand how powerful the investments of the rich are, you will want to build your own business even faster because the fun of life is investing your money and having your money work hard for you

The Power of leverage
In most cases, the people in the ‘Employee and Self-employed or small business owner category’ lack one of the most important words in business and that word is leverage. Leverage is the power to earn more and more by working less and less. A person in the ‘E and S’ quadrants must work more and more if he or she wants to earn more to build a business. Building a business gives you the two main ingredients an investor needs, time and money. Build a business so that you can have the money to invest apart from paying taxes, in the investments only the rich invest in and that is how you become ultra-rich.

Investing like the Ultra-rich
Most of the self made ultra rich of the world made their money by harnessing the power of both the ‘B and I’ quadrants. If more people truly understood the potential power of the network marketing business and the ‘I’ quadrant, more people would come into the business. Adopting the power of the ‘B’ quadrant and the ‘I’ quadrant gives you the same power the ultra-rich have, in fact that is what made most of them ultra-rich. The definition of ultra-rich is earning $1 million a month according to Robert’s Rich Dad. He says that everybody has the potential to become ultra rich if he or she harnesses the financial power of both the ‘B-Business owner and Investor’ groups and for this reason, his Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing is written

Investing because you have too much money
Some time back, the author was teaching investing to a network marketing company’s leaders and there families because many of them had the problem of too much money and the problem was, instead of investing their excess money, they were simply wasting it. The leaders are doing a good job of teaching the people to be successful business owners but are not teaching them what to do with their excess money. Kiyosaki had them play his educational board game CASHFLOW 101. After they have learnt 101, they were made to play CASHFLOW 202, the advanced investor game. After the game was over, these were the comments made by the leaders and their families.
1. The game showed a whole new financial life. It helped to learn how to money like a rich person.
2. It was a tough game but it was real life. It doesn’t make sense to make the money and then blow it rather treating it with more respect.
3. The game has finally taught how to have money work hard for people, instead of people working hard for money.
4. It is a fantastic game because it made people see their past, their present and their future is going to be different from their past and present.
Referring back to the Cashflow quadrant and modifying it, he explained how to harness the power of it’s ‘B- business owner and I- investor’ quadrants. The new diagram represents the way the different quadrants invest. People from the ‘E’ or employee quadrant will often want safe, secure investments, just as they value a safe, secure job with a good pension plan. A true ‘S’ quadrant investor, someone who is self-employed or a small business owner will invest in what is called hands-on method of investing. They often like to renovate things. They will also manage the real estate and sell the real estate on their own, just to save the fees and commission. In a way, they are not focusing on harnessing the potential they have.

Two reasons for investing
In his third book of the “Rich Dad series, Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing , Robert covered the two basic types of money problems, the problem of not having enough money and the problem of too much money.

There are two primary reasons for investing. They are
1. People invest because they don’t have enough money.
2. People invest because they have too much money.
Robert’s Rich Dad said about the money problems that the rich also have money problem and that is the problem of too much money while the poor have the problem of not enough money. He also said that people raised in a family of not having enough money often think that not having enough money is the only kind of problem there is. He always thought of finding more investments because he was making too much money and if he doesn’t invest his excess money, it gets wasted in the form of taxes.

Robert kiyosaki Advice on investment

2007-04-25T20:56:00.000-07:00

The Value of Investing in the Same Investments the Rich Invest In

Investing is a plan. The first thing a person needs to invest in is a plan, before investing his or her money, and then the person should follow the plan. In every town, there are rich neighborhoods and poor neighborhoods. This is true throughout the world. The same is true with investments. Robert Kiyosaki recommends people look into network marketing because of the investment advantages the business offers. Successful people in the network marketing business can afford to invest in the same investments the rich invest in. Most people in the ‘E and S’ quadrants cannot afford to invest in the investments of the rich because they don’t make enough money.

Multi million Dollar Idea

2007-04-20T11:42:00.000-07:00

Everyone has a multimillion dollar idea in his or her head. The problem is, most people do not know how to turn that idea into millions of dollars. People who want to be paid first are generally on the ‘E and S’ side of the quadrant. A true ‘B and I’ get paid if and only if the business is built and is successful. A ‘B’ quadrant person works to build assets and works hard to acquire assets which in turn make him richer and richer, while working less and less. That is what the rich do, while the poor and the middle class work hard for money and then buy liabilities instead of investing in assets.

The second reason for joining the network marketing system is to help others. There is that issue of money again. The beauty of most network marketing systems is that you do not really make much money unless you help others leave the ‘E and S’ quadrants and succeed in the ‘B and I’ quadrants. If you focus on helping others, then you will be successful in the business. The system will not work for you unless you have both tasks in mind. Again, the beauty of most network marketing systems is that you want to create assets, which are other ‘Bs’ working under you and their job is then to create other ‘Bs’ working under them. The traditional corporate system is really the pyramid. It is a pyramid because there are a few ‘Bs and Is’ at the top and more ‘Es and Ss’ at the base. A network marketing system is a reverse pyramid, which means it’s primary focus is to bring up more and more ‘Bs’ to the top. So one pyramid has its base on the ground and the other pyramid has its base in the air much like an upside-down. A pyramid that pulls you up not pushes you down.
Network marketing businesses give all of us access to what used to be the domain of only the rich.

Becoming an Enterprenaur

2007-04-20T11:39:00.000-07:00

It is a person’s emotions rather than academic training that separates the quadrants. If you look at the most famous ‘B and I’ quadrant people in recent history, people such as Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motors company; Thomas Edison, founder of General Electric; Ted Turner, founder of CNN; Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft; and Michael Dell, founder of Dell Computers, you will note that they are all part of the ultra-rich and they all dropped out of school. Not one of them has a college degree. A formal education is more important today than ever before. But, for anyone who dreams of becoming an entrepreneur like the above, many network marketing companies provide the education that traditional schools do not provide. It is the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual education of the ‘B’ and ‘I’ quadrants

Money - Guaranteed Pay check

2007-04-20T11:30:00.000-07:00

Money is the main reason people find it difficult in changing from the ‘E or S’ quadrant to the ‘B’ quadrant. It is also money that causes them to not reach the top of the network marketing system. If they do not see a lot of money in a year or two, they quit, rather than first mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually changing quadrants. They want money more than they want to change quadrants. That is why the educational systems of a network marketing company are so important because of the type of the emotional education or emotional intelligence aspect of their programs. In this context, Kiyosaki refers to his poor dad who was forced to have the core value of job security and needing a guaranteed pay check in the ‘E’ quadrant for the fear of not having money rather than investing time in building a business in the ‘B’ quadrant as his rich dad did.

Delayed Gratification concept

2007-04-20T11:18:00.000-07:00

True ‘E and S’ quadrant people do not work unless they work for money. At the core of a true ‘E and S’ is money. A ‘B’ will build or create an asset in this case a business system .An ‘I’ invests in the asset or the system. True ‘E’ quadrant and ‘S’ quadrant people will not work for years without getting paid and they definitely do not like the risk of working hard for years with the chance of never getting paid. It’s not part of their core values. Risk and delayed gratification disturb them emotionally. Robert kiyosaki illustrates the concept of risk and delayed gratification with the incident that took place in his life which lead him to his current position of a ‘B’ quadrant business man. He says, “When I came back from Vietnam, many of my friends and classmates who avoided military service were well into their careers.

They were beginning to make pretty good salaries. Instead of following their path, kiyosaki says "I spent time with my rich dad, learning to build business. I had some financial disasters along the way. Between the years 1975 and 1985, I struggled and often failed. My wife Kim and I were homeless for about three weeks during this period but we never went back to the ‘E’ or ‘S’ quadrants. Things began picking up by 1986, and by 1994 we were financially free. In 1994,we sold our business and retired. I was 47 and she was 37. We had reached the millionaire status, we had our investments, and we had achieved our goal of financial freedom. My classmates were still working, some still hoping to make $100,000 to$250,000 a year. That is the power of delayed gratification and working hard in the ‘B’ quadrant, building a business instead of working at a job and clinging to the illusion of job security. Today we make millions a year and we technically still do not have jobs. We work only at building businesses and investing”. The beauty of network marketing education is that it focuses on developing your emotional intelligence, as well as your business skills.

changing quadrants

2007-04-20T11:15:00.000-07:00

As said in earlier discussion, reason number one to help yourself means that you come to the business primarily to change quadrants. You want to change from ‘E or S’ to the ‘B’ quadrant. The change of quadrants require a change mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and that often took more time than it takes to get a college degree. Kiyosaki illustrates this by quoting the real time example of his rich dad who spent over 30 years teaching me to think like a ‘Band I’ quadrant person and says that he is still learning to be smarter in those quadrants. That is why a network marketing company’s educational plan is more important than its products and compensation plan.

Traditional corporate systems

2007-04-20T11:12:00.000-07:00

As per kiyosaki, the top of the network marketing system is open to everyone, unlike the traditional corporate systems which allow only one person to reach the top of the company. The reason most people do not reach the top is simply because they quit too soon, even the top is wide open. Most people only join to make money. If they do not make money in the first few months or years, they become discouraged, quit, and then often bad-mouth the network marketing industry. Others quit and go looking for a company with a better compensation plan. There are two important reasons for joining the system apart from making money. Reason number one is to help yourself and Reason number two is to help others. If you join for only one of the two reasons, the system will not work for you.

Quadrant of the Ultra Rich

2007-04-20T11:07:00.000-07:00

Throughout history, the ‘B’ quadrant has been the domain of the rich. In fact, people in the ‘E’ and ‘S’ quadrants work for the ‘B’ quadrant people yet are never told of the ‘B’ quadrant. Our school systems educate us to be experts in the ‘E’ and ‘S’ quadrants but never educate us as to what it takes to create a ‘B’ quadrant business. Now the network marketing industry has made access available without having to be rich and without having to go back to get an expensive college education which only trains you to be a better ‘E’ or ‘S’ anyway.

They did this by making the opportunity for truly great wealth available to anyone willing to follow the system and enter the world of the ‘B’ quadrant, the quadrant of the ultra-rich.

The Access into ‘B’ quadrant business

2007-04-20T11:04:00.000-07:00

In this chapter, Robert kiyosaki explains the ways to enter the ‘B and I’ side of the CASHFLOW quadrant through network marketing system and establish a ‘B’ quadrant business. He says that though the ‘B’ quadrant is much better than all other quadrants, the expense of building it goes far beyond just money.
One main reason ‘S’ quadrant businesses remain ‘S’ quadrant businesses is because the cost of going from the ‘S’ to the ‘B’ is far greater than most ‘S’ quadrant business owners can afford or want to pay.
Most ‘S’ quadrant business people are “hands-on” people which means they are actively involved in the business. For the ‘S’ quadrant business person, ”letting go” can be a very difficult, if not impossible, thing to do. A network marketing business offers all of us the opportunity to access a ’B’ quadrant business at a more affordable price and with much less effort because most of these companies had already invested the time and the money to build the ‘B’ quadrant business.

Rich Dad Underground: Rich Dad Education Crosses The Pond

Nature's Learning Curve

2007-04-19T11:20:00.000-07:00

When you look at nature’s learning curve, first it goes down before it heads back up. Many people do not want to feel the emotional down before they feel the exhilaration of flying. Most people are not successful in life because they are not willing to go through this period of personal doubt and emotional frustration. This happens to many of us because we learn in school that mistakes are bad and should be avoided. So we leave school, sit in the nest of ‘E and S’ quadrants and never learn. Some of the greatest values of some network marketing training systems are that they

encourage you to leave the nest rather than be a loyal employee,
have a program to support you during the periods of doubt and frustration,
have mentors who have made the journey themselves encouraging you to follow after them,
will not fail you as they do in school or fire you as they do in business if you make the journey at a pace that is suited for you
Want you to make it to the other side.

The value of guiding people across the quadrants is a very important that many network marketing companies provide.

5 year Plan a must

2007-04-19T11:08:00.000-07:00

Robert Kiyosaki recommends committing to a five year plan for the following reasons.
Learning is a physical process and physical learning sometimes takes longer time than mental learning.
Un Learning is also a physical process. As the statement goes,” You cannot teach an older dog new tricks”, though we are humans, the older we get, sometimes the harder it is to unlearn something we have spent years learning. Take your time to unlearn as well as learn. For some people , the hardest part of switching from the left side of the quadrant to the right side of the quadrant is to unlearn the point of view of ‘E and S’ quadrants. Once you have unlearned what you have learned, the change will go much faster
Many people invest once, lose a few dollars and then quit. They quit after their first mistake, which is why they fail to learn. Robert says that his rich dad would say, “A true winner knows that losing is a part of the process of winning. It is only the losers of life who think that winners never lose. A loser is someone who dreams of winning and does everything possible to avoid making mistakes.” The more mistakes you make and learn from, the smarter you’ll be in five years. If you make no mistakes in five years, then you are no smarter than you are five years ago. You are only five years older.

Change Environments for a change.

2007-04-19T11:05:00.000-07:00

If you are ready to make the move towards the ‘B and I’ side, you need to begin to associate as much as possible with people who think the way you want to think. This is because you want to change environments as quickly as possible. Once you change environment, you begin to change your point of view. To begin to change environments is so important that you can begin to think like people “who have” or ‘want to have” both money and free time. There is need to change your environment. a difference in mindsets and to find that mindset, you need to change your environment. Robert kiyosaki feels that it takes a long time to change quadrants and recommends people to make up their mind to give the process at least five years. If five years seems like forever, then commit at least for six months

Kiyosaki Recommends Network Maketing

2007-04-19T10:55:00.000-07:00

kiyosaki robert recommends to learn from network marketing since they mentor well. Robert says, One big advantage of network marketing business is that you can remain in the ‘E or S’ quadrants and start a part time business in the ‘B’ quadrant.

By doing this , you can take your time getting the education you need without going through the pain, misery and financial risk involved by going directly into the ‘B’ quadrant. Also, they offer good mentoring programs. The primary role of mentor in a network marketing company is to guide you from the ‘E and S’ side of the quadrant to the ‘B and I’ side.

They don’t charge you for all the hours they invest in mentoring, coaching and guiding you. That guidance is priceless. While looking into a network marketing company, look at the mentors above the person who recommends the business to you. Take the time to meet them and evaluate their sincerity to support you in making the journey from the ‘E and S’ side to the ‘B and I’ side because their training programs should go far beyond just money, product knowledge and sales ability

In this context, Robert Kiyosaki shares his own experiences in the field of business. He says, “When my first business failed, my poor dad was very upset and embarrassed for me. My rich dad on the other hand said, “Keep going. Most millionaires lose three businesses before the get it right”. Thankfully, it only took me loosing two businesses to get it right but to get it right after failing twice was more a spiritual and emotional challenge and rebuilding process. Once I had rebuilt myself emotionally and spiritually, the money came roaring back”. He also says rebuilding oneself is more important than making money and that is what network marketing business do focus on. So, you got to find a suitable network company and do your best to rebuild yourself using their educational plan and no one can help you if you do not help yourself. For people choosing to use a network marketing system to build a business in the ‘B’ quadrant, the price of entry is a lot lower the risks are lower and the education and support and thereto guide you through this personal development

True Life Changing Education

2007-04-19T10:26:00.000-07:00

To become rich is to change the quadrants that is from ‘E and S’ side to the ‘B and I’ side. It is not very easy to do so because the change of quadrants may mean a shift away from the family core values because the rich people who were business owners and investors were often considered greedy, evil and sometimes dishonest.
The main reason to recommend at least looking into a network marketing business is because the change from one side of the quadrant to the other side ‘is not an overnight process’. The value of life changing business education, true life changing education must impact you mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and that change may take sometime and may require guidance. Some network marketing companies offer that time and guidance.

You may change from ‘E and S’ side of the ‘CASH FLOW quadrant’ to the ‘B and I’ side on your own but the change is not the easiest of changes. The reason is you may fail to do it on your own not only because of money but because the price is high when it comes to mental, emotional, physical and spiritual development. One of the reasons why Robert kiyosaki recommends network marketing companies is because they do focus on rehabilitating individuals mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually because losing faith and confidence in oneself during a failure is worse than losing millions of dollars.

Do not seek job security

2007-04-19T10:16:00.000-07:00

Kiyosaki recalls his parents’ words in his childhood which made him decide his future. He says that his poor dad often said “Go to school, get good grades, so you can get a safe, secure job” which means he was programmed for the ‘E’ quadrant. His mother often said, “ If you want to become rich, you have to become a lawyer or doctor by which way you’ll always have a profession to fall back on”, which means he was programmed for the ‘S’ quadrant. His rich dad said, “If you want to be rich, you should mind your own business.
Most people never became rich because they spend their lives minding someone else’s business. He also said, “The more you seek job security, the less control you have over your life, control over how much you earn, how much you pay taxes and control over your free time. If you want to be free , then you’d better mind your own business” and the kind of business he was talking about is a business in the ‘B’ quadrant and not the ‘S’ quadrant.

The value of changing quadrants

Quadrants Definition by kiyosaki
In this chapter Robert Kiyosaki explains how to improve your future by earning much money. He illustrates this point by four factors collectively known as ‘CASH FLOW quadrant’. It is for the people who are ready to change in life to make more money.
The four quadrants or factors in the ‘CASH FLOW quadrant’ are ‘E’-employee, ‘S’- self-employee or small business owner, ‘B’-business owner and ‘I’-investor. The way you know in which quadrant you are in is simply by which quadrant your cash flows from. In other words, if you receive your income from a job i.e., from a company or business that you do not own, then you belong to the ‘E’ quadrant. If you take commission or charge for your work on hourly basis, then you belong to the ‘S’ quadrant. If your income comes from a business that you do not have to work in, then you are in the ‘I’ quadrant. For the most part, the definitions are simple and clear cut. The two quadrants that often cause confusion are the ‘S’ quadrant and the ‘B’ quadrant. If a ‘S-self employed or small business owner stops working, his or her income stops coming in whereas a ‘B or big business owner can leave his or her business for a year or more and come back to find it running better or more profitably. The ‘S’ quadrant can also stand for satisfaction for it is in this quadrant that many people do what they truly love. It is where people who “want to do their own thing” often migrate but unfortunately it is the quadrant that has some of the lowest paid people of all the quadrants

Mental Education concept

2007-04-01T19:41:00.000-07:00

Generally, mental education is not fruitful unless it is coordinated with the spiritual, emotional and physical aspects of a person. Emotional communication is also called “sentic communication”. Sentic communication is much like two tuning forks vibrating. If they are on the same frequency, you can hit one tuning fork, have it vibrate and soon the second one will begin to vibrate. That means when we are afraid, we often attract other fearful people or people that prey on fearful people. One of the great values of being trained by a network marketing company with a great educational plan is that it encourages you to overcome your emotional limitations and speak from your human spirit. Physical or visual communication, what a person looks like at the first glance is the most powerful of all the communications. Studies have shown that a true person-to-person communication is made up of approximately

10% words
35% emotions
50% visual or physical
5% other variables

The great net work marketing companies spend a lot of time on improving a persons physical appearance because they know that healthy, physically attractive people communicate more efficiently than normal people. Finally Robert kiyosaki says that any body has only one opportunity to make a first impression, which is why the physical communication is so important. All education is ultimately physical. If a person is not willing to learn physically, the chance of lasting educational change is minimal. He recalls his rich dad’s words saying “If you have three cats are sitting on the fence and two decides to jump off how many cats are left? The answer is “there are still three cats on the fence “the reason is that just deciding to jump doesn’t mean any jumped off physically”. And that is why his rich dad would say “tomorrow is the busiest day of you. Most people decide to improve their lives in some way but then put off doing anything about it until tomorrow.”The problem is most people ultimately run out off tomorrows”. So it is to be learnt that change only begins when you finally take action and that is why the physical aspect of education is more important.

If you are ready for some kind of change in your life, look in to the educational programs offered by some of the network marketing companies. Take some time see if the business, the compensation, the products and education are what you may need at this stage of your life. If you decide that a company addresses each of these areas, then consider starting part time business with the company.

Spiritual Education

2007-04-01T19:38:00.000-07:00

Regarding spiritual education which is a part of traditional education religion has its own impact on the mind set of a person It is a non-denominational aspect as it can volatile and emotioonal.It is totally personal aspect of ones emotional stake .A person ‘s sprite is the power that propels past his mental , emotional, physical and spiritual limitations that often define human condition . In this context, Robert Kiyosaki shares his real life experiences he says,”when I was in Vietnam as a pilot, I realized that to die the next day fighting in war was the easy way out. I realized that living was in many ways much harder than dieing. Once I was at peace with the possibility of either life or death, I could then choose how I wanted to live my life the next day .I called on my human spirit to carry me through the next day to fly and fight to the best of my ability, regardless of final outcome. Situation like a war or so, makes a person speak from his human spirit overpowering emotions of fear and doubt caused by lack of training. This can ignite your spirit to go on and defeat the most powerful opponent. The successful leaders in network marketing have been trained to develop this ability to speak to the human spirit, ability to touch the greatness in those coming behind them and to inspire them to move up to go beyond their human limitations. That is the power of life-changing education.

Traditional Education drawbacks

2007-04-01T19:36:00.000-07:00

Coming to the physical aspect of a person, which is affected by the traditional education, people don’t learn much when they are afraid of making mistakes because they don’t do much. People are aware that learning is really a physical process like reading and writing as much as it is a mental process. If you are trained to know the right answers and not to make mistakes, your progress of learning is stopped. The network marketing companies encourage physical learning as much as they encourage mental learning. They encourage you to go out and face your fears by taking action, making a mistake, learning from the mistake and growing mentally, emotionally, physically stronger from the process. Traditional education encourages learning facts and then emotionally teaches you to be afraid of making mistakes, which hold you back physically. Robert feels that he was making much money because he was making more mistakes and learning from them. Most people are working for not making mistakes in the their future and hampering their future by not willing to try new things, risk making mistakes and learn from them. If you are afraid of making mistakes, but know you need to make some changes in your life then a good net work-marketing program could be the best long-term personnel development program for you.

Cognitive Skills as per kiyosaki

2007-04-01T19:34:00.000-07:00

Kiyosaki explains life-changing education by creating a Pyramid structure with it’s four sides as four kinds of changes namely mental, spiritual, emotional and physical. He means that true life-changing education should affect all the four points of learning pyramid to be effective. Traditional education mainly teaches skills such as reading, writing and arithmetic called as ”cognitive skills”. These skills effect the emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of a person. Each aspect is discussed in detail in following words.

Actually the people who get a word in real world are those who make more mistakes and learn from them. Kiyosaki recalls the way he was guided in his formatting years, he says that his poor dad thought making a mistake was a sin. On the other his rich dad “ making mistakes is how we are designed to learn from”. It is a sin to make a mistake and not learn from it. Explaining further he said “ The reason so many people lie after making a mistake is because they are emotionally terrified of admitting they made a mistake and hence they waste an opportunity to learn and grow .Making a mistake admitting it with out blaming your mistake on some one else or justifying or making excuses are how we learn . Making a mistake and not admitting it or blaming some one else for your mistakes, is a sin.”

In the traditional business you are punished for making mistakes where as in net working business, you are allowed to learn by correcting mistakes and grow stronger mentally and emotionally. This is what is called life- changing business education, which is almost completely different from the normal way of education. Net work marketing business is for those who are afraid of making mistakes or failing as the training helps to build and restore a person self confidence with which life is changed for ever.

Life changing Business Education

In this chapter, Robert Kiyosaki explains the various reasons for adopting network-marketing business.

Initially, it is the system of education that a network marketing business offers made him choose the kind of business. Many companies have excellent education programs, which train you in real-life business. They let you to think beyond your capability of just becoming a better sales person for their products or systems. Robert felt the traditional way of education boring because rarely he was challenged or interested in what he was required to study. He was in search of a “life-changing education program”. The training he underwent as a pilot in flight school had a remarkable change in his life. After the training he was very successful in the world of business and is the same with his co-pilots too. So, when Robert speaks of Life- changing business education, it is the educational plan that has the power to make that much of a difference in life. In network marketing, the people at the top who teach have to be successful in the real world. Top achievers in this kind of business attributed a change in attitude or in other words positive thinking towards life, self-confidence, better communication, managerial abilities and prominently, the best utilization of time. If the training program’s good, it can improve your life for the better, may be forever apart from making much money

Human attitude is that it takes a long time to accept a change what so ever. It could be pertaining to his/her habits of opinions towards a particular person or an issue or other wise them selves.
