First thing first to absorb the essence ofis to position yourself in Kiyosaki's cashflow quadrant style. It’s means you must choose the role as Employee (), professional or self-employed (), business owner (Q), or the investor (Q).Remember, you do not have to choose one of quadrant. You can choose more than one role in more than one quadrant. It’s depend on the potential you have and the "guts" to do so.If you are reluctant to leave your job, you do not want to go from quadrant E. Is this bad? Not really. You can still play a role as an employee with your money (acting as an investor in quadrant I) or open your own business (a role in quadrant B). Did it work? Depending on how you allocate your time, resources, and attention or concentration.Maybe this time you do not intend to change sides, or expanding into another quadrant. There has been no capital is the most classic excuse. But that does not mean you will not do. Plan for sure, when are you going to change sides or expanded into another quadrant. Without a definite plan, the intention of only staying a mere intention was never realized. So it must have a target, in what year did you have your own business, in any field, and how to set the time between to keep working while managing his own business.After that, determine the most realistic way to achieve that target. If capital is the main obstacle, then start setting aside a little income. If the skill and knowledge is still a constraint, then try hard to understand the business areas that will be yours. If you have not been able to appear as a single fighter, then start looking for a suitable partner.In essence, you have to understand the position you are now in Kiyosaki's cashflow quadrant. Then, determine how your future position in the same quadrant.After that, just think of strategies and measures that are realistic, based on an eight-point summary of financial intelligence as described in the previous section.Many people assume, success in life depends on hard work, luck, circumstances, they do not have wealth, outside help, connections or big sacrifices unbearable. They do not know that success does not depend on any state atai conditions.To succeed, we must prepare ourselves for success. First, there must be a willingness to succeed. Then we have to do the things necessary to help us achieve it.Success will not come from spending all the revenue for eating and drinking, or partying late into the night. Success born out of efforts to help themselves develop mental, mind, body and soul. If we want to succeed, we must prepare ourselves to receive it. This preparation consists of logically improve themselves through knowledge selp that should help us get your own, to be applied in concrete measures.We do not waste time and money, but we learn to make it useful for us. Time for fun used to master the knowledge-practical knowledge that if properly implemented, will bring strength. Set aside a portion of your income. The more you save, you get closer to the rich. (*)
