CHOOSING YOUR BATILE AND BATILEFIELD I 97

The CASHFLOW Quadrant is important because it can help you
decide which quadrant you have the best chance ofwinning in. As you may
have guessed, both Donald Trump and I chose the B and I quadrants to
operate in.
Years ago, when I was in high school and having trouble with English,
it was my rich dad who pointed out to me that I would probably never do
wellin school or in the corporate world. He said,"You'retoo much ofa rebel
to follow orders from people you do not respect. Youwill probably do better
in business as an entrepreneur and an investor."
Although I did not like what he said, it helped me learn where I did not
fit. It also warned me that I had to study subjects, develop skills and gain
experiences that most of my peers would not have to gain. To learn more
about my experiences in the B and I quadrants, I suggest readingRichDad's
Guide toInvestingand RichDad's Before IOu Quit lOurJob.
Some ofyou may be thinking, "But I don't want to be an entrepreneur."
Or you may be feeling your heart pound at the thought oftaking risks and
not having a steady paycheck. Don't
worry. This book is more about
winning than it is about being an Most financial
