Our Review

Cashflow Quadrant is the underrated sequel that many say is actually better than Rich Dad Poor Dad. Kiyosaki breaks down the four ways people earn money: Employee (trades time for security), Self-Employed (trades time for independence), Business Owner (builds systems that work without them), and Investor (money works for them). The key insight is that most people, even successful self-employed professionals, are stuck in the left side of the quadrant, trading time for money. The book maps out the mindset and strategy shift needed to move to the right side, where true wealth and freedom live.
