Cashflow Quadrant-Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom

"Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad’s Guide to Financial Freedom" by Robert Kiyosaki explains how individuals earn income through different roles and provides a roadmap for achieving financial independence by moving to the right side of the quadrant.

The Cashflow Quadrant:

Kiyosaki divides income sources into four quadrants:

1. E – Employee:
   • Works for others, trades time for money, and relies on a stable job for income.
2. S – Self-Employed:
   • Owns a small business or works as a freelancer, but income depends on personal effort.
3. B – Business Owner:
   • Owns systems and employs others to generate income, achieving scalability and time freedom.
4. I – Investor:
   • Makes money work through investments in real estate, stocks, or businesses, generating passive income.

Key Lessons:

   • Focus on becoming a Business Owner (B) and Investor (I) to achieve financial freedom.

2. Mindset Shift:
