People live daily with different mind-sets and everyone has a reason why they decide to live the type of life that they have chosen to live, the education, the background, the economic conditions are things that make up a man’s decision eventually and since we all do not have the same background, the same weakness or strength or the same training, we all may choose to go through the path we choose to go.
There are people who are comfortable at being employees while others may hate it, some people like to own businesses or companies but they do not like to run it by themselves, there are people who really like to invest but others fear the risk of losing their money. It is worthy of mention that the fact that you are business minded and your friend is not business minded, does not make either of you a failure. It is possible for a business man and investor to fail and become broke while a usual salary earner obtains financial liberation, and vice versa. I have heard so many business owners look down on salary earners as though they have no life goal and purpose and I have also seen salary earners look down on entrepreneurs as time wasters, this has brought me to share’’ the quadrant values described by Robert T. Kiyosaki with you, he explained in his book that there are four (4) types of quadrant values and they are:
The first is the E quadrant value, this set of people are basically concerned about security which means they want a good paying job with great benefits. These set of people work overtime only if there is going to be a benefit attached to it and once they are certain that there is going to be a basic income for the job they do, then they are comfortable.
The second set of individuals are within the S quadrant value: these set of individuals often take pride in whatever they can do for themselves, it is within this range that small business owners are found, they find no pleasure in working for anyone, they are basically comfortable with the type of life they live and they do not care about working extra hours. Individuals like this often hire little hands to assist when necessary but on several occasions, they prefer to carry out the task themselves.
Those that fall within the category of B quadrant values are usually considered as wealth builders. They are moved with basic targets to achieve, they try to get team members to work it, and they are usually particular about working with the right set of individuals. A person who falls within the category of B quadrant always have his money to work for him.
The individuals who fall within the I quadrant values are considered investors, investors always believe in allowing their money work for them rather than working for their money. Investors always put their money or asset in a place where it will yield interest overtime.
All the quadrant values have their own advantages as well as disadvantages, but a quadrant value does not determine success or wealth, every quadrant value can make advantage of the advantages of their potential and make great wealth for themselves. Which makes it wrong to believe that you have to quit your job, or close down your business before you attain success. It is advisable however, to invest either in a little way or in a large way, asides your monthly income it is important to have something else that works for you and that is the process of investment, put it into consideration all the time, the investment may either be on a large scale or on a small scale.
