Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant. Robert T. Kiyosaki

quadrants and into the personal development required to be financially successful in each of them. It’s my belief that you’ll gain further insights into choosing the financial life path that’s best suited for you.

      Many of the skills essential to being successful on the right side of the quadrant aren’t taught in school, which may explain how people like Bill Gates, Ted Turner, and Thomas Edison left school early and yet learned how to be successful B’s and I’s. This book will identify the skills, as well as the personal core temperament, that are necessary for finding success on the B and I side. First, I offer a broad overview of the four quadrants, and then an in-depth focus on the B and I side.

      After reading this book, some of you might want to make a change in how you earn your income, and some of you will be happy to stay just where you are. You might choose to operate in more than one quadrant, maybe even in all four quadrants. We’re all different, and one quadrant isn’t more important or better than another. In every village, town, city, and nation in the world, there is a need for people to operate in all four quadrants in order to ensure the financial stability of the community.

      Also, as we grow older and gain different experiences, our interests change. For example, I notice that many young people right out of school are often happy to get a job. But after a couple of years, a few of them decide they aren’t interested in climbing the corporate ladder, or they lose interest in their chosen field. These changes of age and experience often cause a person to search for new avenues of growth, challenge, financial reward, and personal happiness. I hope this book offers some fresh ideas for attaining those goals.

      In short, this book isn’t about homelessness, but about finding a home—a home in a quadrant or quadrants.
