ESBI Cash Flow Quadrant

Hello Play Big Community!

If you have read Robert Kiyosaki’s second book, The Cash Flow Quadrant, then you are familiar with the acronym ESBI. ESBI defines the four cash flow quadrants in which we reside in our professional lives: E stands for Employee, S for Self-employed, B for Business owner and I for Investor. You may live in one or all of these quadrants in the course of your professional life.

If you are reading this blog, it is highly likely that you are interested in navigating the Cash Flow Quadrant in an attempt to move from the E quadrant to the S or B quadrant. Perhaps you are already in the S quadrant and want to make a successful move to the B quadrant. It’s even possible that you are already a business owner and want to add the I quadrant to your resume. Regardless, there are different rules to successfully play the game of each quadrant.

The major differences between the E/S quadrants and the B quadrant are having systems and a team in place. An Employee has been hired to work for the system. The Self-employed individual IS the system i.e. they own a job. The Business owner creates the system that the Employees run. The Investor invests in businesses to earn passive. By the way, the tax laws were written for the B quadrant, which is why Employees get hammered the hardest by taxes!

It takes guts, knowledge, resilience, determination and Little Voice Mastery to build a successful business. If you have an interest in becoming an entrepreneur and starting your own business, I would STRONGLY recommend reading the “E Myth” by Michael Gerber. Gerber suggests that most of us will suffer from an “entrepreneurial seizure” at some point in our career and venture out on our own. There is a massive gap, however, between being a technician (employee) and a business owner, which explains why 80% of business start-ups fail within the first five years. Buy this book, read it and live by it!
