Net Income is the difference between what you Earn and what you Spend.

Breakthrough Thought:
Do Not Confuse Assets & Liabilities!

Assets: An asset puts money in your pocket


Liabilities: A liability takes money out of your pocket


Net Worth: The difference between Assets and Liabilities


“If you want to be rich, accounting could be the most important subject you should learn.”

–  Robert Kiyosaki

What is a Balance Sheet?


“If you want to be rich, simply spend your life buying assets. If you want to be poor or middle class, spend your life buying liabilities.  Its not knowing the difference that causes most of the financial struggle.”

–  Robert Kiyosaki

Money Makes the World Go Around


“To get the maximum benefit out of money, what we need to do is to create mental cash flow patterns that will guide your thoughts so that your money will flow in the direction that you want it to go.”

–  Alex Barron

Cash Flow Pattern of an Asset

Why the rich get richer

Cash Flow Pattern of a Liability

Why the poor get poorer

Cash Flow Pattern of the Poor

Money burns in their pocket. Money is spent to survive.

Cash Flow Pattern of Middle Class

Living Paycheck to Paycheck – Caught in the Rat Race. Money is spent to pay off liabilities.

Cash Flow Pattern of the Rich

The rich buy assets. Money works for them.

The Cash Flow Tells the Story!

The cash flow is the story of how a person handles their money, what they do after they get the money in their hand.

More money will not solve your problems. Money only accentuates the cash flow pattern running in your head.

 What is missing from education is not how to make money, but how to spend money. – what to do after you make it.

 Financial aptitude is what you do with the money once you make it, how to keep people from taking it from you, how long you keep it, and how hard that money works for you.

Most people do not understand cash flow. A person can be highly educated, professionally successful, and financially illiterate!

–  Robert Kiyosaki

Don’t Let the Power of Money Work Against You!

 The poor and middle class all too often allow the power of money to control them. By simply getting up and working harder, failing to ask themselves if what they do makes sense, they shoot themselves in the foot as they leave to work every morning. By not fully understanding money, the vast majority of people allow the awesome power of money to control them. The power of money is used against them.

–  Robert Kiyosaki

TRANSFORMATIONAL THOUGHT:
What is the Goal of Financial Freedom?

 The goal of financial freedom is to reach the point at which the income you make from your assets is greater than the expenses you require to maintain your lifestyle.  So the goal of a financial freedom program is to acquire assets and build a portfolio of assets that will eventually enable you to earn enough to do what you want to do without having to work or worry about how you will make a living.

–  Alex Barron
