A true tale of two dads— one a highly educated professor, the other, an eighth grade dropout. Educated dad left his family with nothing, except maybe some unpaid bills. The dropout later became one of Hawaii’s richest men and left his son an empire. One dad would say, “I can’t afford it” while the other, asked, “How can I afford it?”
Rich dad teaches two boys priceless lessons on money, by making them learn through experience. The most important lesson of all is How to Use Your Mind and Time to create personal wealth. Free yourself from the proverbial “rat race”. Learn to spot opportunities, create solutions and “mind your own business”. Learn to make money work for you, and not be its slave.

Rich Dad’s Words of Wisdom:

• You are what you Think.

• A job is a short-term solution to a long-term problem.

• A highly paid slave is still a slave.

• Why climb the corporate ladder when you can own the ladder?

Good Thinking:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
–Robert Frost, from ‘The Road Not Taken’

Overview
There is a Need.
The rationale for teaching people financial literacy comes from the fact there is no real job security these days. Even after years of toil, the poor and middle class may find they do not have sufficient funds for their children’s college education, or their own retirement. Why work for a
corporation, the government, and the bank all your life? Awaken your financial genius and gain financial independence and freedom!

According to “Rich Dad” there are 6 courses that lead to the financial freedom, which are:

• Rich don’t work for the money

• Why we teach Economic Education?

• Look at your work

• The history of taxation and the force of anonymous companies

• Rich devise money

• Work in order to learn -no in order to gain money

 ACTION ALWAYS BEATS INACTION.
“IF YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING YOU CARE DEEPLY ABOUT AND IF YOU BELIEVE IN IT, IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE NOT TRYING TO MAKE IT GREAT.”

For those of you who are asking, “What exactly do you mean by financial freedom?”, here is the definition of financial freedom:

 You are financially free when the passive income from your assets pays for your expenses and supports your desired lifestyle. In essence you can stop working — retire today — and the income generated by your assets will completely pay for your lifestyle.

It is an exciting prospect! Just think — when you are financially free, you can be relaxing on a beach in Barbados, while money is pouring into your account from the businesses and investments you own in another part of the world. It is the type of freedom that will give you the ability to choose your way in life…

• choose whether you want to work or not,

• choose whether you wish to go on a vacation or not,

• choose whether you can spend more time with your family or not,

• choose whether you want to dedicate more of your life to your spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health or not.

Achieving this kind of freedom means you must choose which quadrant you will receive your income from, and choose it wisely.

What are the Cashflow Quadrants? Kiyosaki points out that there are 4 ways that the majority of people choose to receive their income, and these 4 means of acquiring income are called the Cashflow Quadrants. They are made up of:

• The employee

• The self-employed individual

• The business owner; and

• The investor

Most of us were taught to become employees and perhaps so-called “investors” (through savings and retirement funds) in order to become financially free or wealthy. Maybe you’ve decided to be your own boss and become self-employed, in order to have greater control and security.

• But what really is the key to achieving financial freedom?

• Which quadrant(s) should one be in to become financially free?

• Which quadrant or quadrants do the rich utilize?

• What are the fundamental differences between each quadrant? And why does it matter which quadrant you use to create wealth and freedom?

The most important question is:

• Are you in the right Cashflow Quadrant(s), and if not, what can you do to make sure that you are?

You must know the answers to these questions in order to ensure financial freedom for yourself and your family. Cashflow Quadrant expertly provides the answers through Kiyosaki’s personal experiences of making his journey towards financial freedom.

Robert Kiyosaki dedicates this book to those who are willing to pay the price for financial freedom. This is an brilliant book that will bring out the best in you and tell you how to build a solid foundation for achieving financial freedom.
