The cashflow quadrant is essentially a grid consisting of four quadrants which in this case uses the letters ‘E’, ‘S’, ‘B’ and ‘I.’ Here ‘E’ stands for employee while ‘S’ stands for self-employed. Analogously ‘B’ stands for business owner and ‘I’ stands for investor. Kiyosaki takes this basic quadrant pattern and throws in all the concepts and ideas pertinent to each of the quadrants. By doing this, Kiyosaki achieved a clear vision as to how they related to the phenomena of taxation, incentives and entrepreneurial vision.The debate central to the theme of Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant: Guide To Financial Freedom is the one that pits individuals in a choice between security and freedom and then exhibits the finality of the consequences. Kiyosaki doesn’t stop at this debate since through the book he clarifies a number of other economic circumstances and states outcomes that range from desirable to not so desirable. Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant: Guide To Financial Freedom provides the knowhow on shifting across quadrants and finding a more suitable habitat in terms of making money. The book endorses the evolution from the industrial into the information age and places the areas of interest where potential advantages lie for those willing to take the risk.OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD#1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller'Follow these precepts and you will revolutionize your life.' Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art 'A book for the bedside of every future - and current - leader in the world.' - Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of PowerThe Obstacle is the Way has become a cult classic, beloved by men and women around the world who apply its wisdom to become more successful at whatever they do. The book's many fans include a former governor and movie star (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a hip hop icon (LL Cool J), an Irish tennis pro (James McGee), the World Number 1 golfer (Rory McIlroy) and the coaches and players of winning teams like English Rugby National Team, the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Cubs. The book draws its inspiration from stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with perseverance and resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can control, let go of everything else, and turn every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better, stronger, tougher. As Marcus Aurelius put it nearly 2000 years ago: "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." Ryan Holiday shows us how some of the most successful people in history-from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs-have applied stoicism to overcome difficult or even impossible situations. Their embrace of these principles ultimately mattered more than their natural intelligence, talents, or luck. If you're feeling frustrated, demoralized, or stuck in a rut, this book can help you turn your problems into your biggest advantages. And along the way it will inspire you with dozens of true stories of the greats from every age and era.
