I woke up with a clear understanding of why I felt so stuck all the time. I know about the cashflow quadrant from Robert Kiyosaki, I teach the cashflow quadrant. I personally feel it's a great book, one that teaches us what is out there.
Now where do we fit in? I know I have been on the left hand side my entire life. I believed I was on the right several times but never really felt like it was secure. How do I finally make the jump?
We all are searching for a way to be financially secure.
1. We work long hours at a job that pays us well. Believing we will stay there for years
2. We save our money, learn to spend less and less
3. We put our money away in retirement accounts, created for the masses
4. We keep buying things ... liabilities NOT assets only believing we are buying assets
5. The list goes on and on
All the habits we feel are good we keep calling habits. Those habits we are not so happy with we call addictions.
All in all we can only say we do what's important to us. Someone may disagree with that, giving all sorts of excuses but take those excuses all away... Bottom line is we do what is important to us.
What became clear as I was teaching the cashflow quadrant again, is we stay where we are comfortable. Think about it. If 99% of the masses --- which is the majority of us -- are on the left hand side, we function, understand and process our daily financial habits day by day IN the left hand side because that's what we have been taught. Everything we do is all IN and ON the left hand side. We talk with others ON the left hand side. We look for answers ON the left hand side. We seek teachers FROM the left hand side. We stay where we are comfortable!
All the time believing we are getting new information.
Think about our financial beliefs. We all have them, think about what we say about "rich" people? All those thoughts, put faces on them. It's like us staying clear from that "group" of people because we don't fit in. How many times do we resist being invited to one of their "parties" BECAUSE we feel so separated.
We've never been on the right side so why go to the unknown? Won't we lose "friends" (beliefs) if we start to hang out on the right side?
But don't we all continue searching for the door or pathway to get there. Interesting.
Why the resistance??? Why stay stuck?
The only solution is to learn from someone who teaches those on the right side how they can stay there! Learn from someone who can help us move into the right side step by step. Let's get acquainted with "those" on the right side, in a comfortable environment. Most of us will feel more confident and more secure if we learn and practice better financial practices to be one of "those" now hanging out on the right side. Why do we fight it?
April 9th is YOUR chance. This is an event that gives you insight into what it takes, what's available to begin your journey TO the right side. Our instructor, Curtis DeYoung is a person who teaches those ON the right side how to stay there.
Now's your chance. Clear your schedule, don't allow your excuses to keep you from at least hearing what it takes. If you still choose to stay on the left hand side, that's fine. We will still be friends!
