Cashflow Quadrant in Action: Moving from E to I

Cashflow Quadrant in Action: Moving from E to I

The Cashflow Quadrant (ESBI) divides us into:

  • E (Employee): Work for others.
  • S (Self-employed): Work for yourself.
  • B (Business Owner): System works for you.
  • I (Investor): Money works for you.

Most people stay in E and S forever.

How to Cross Over?

You don't need to quit your job instantly. You need to change your cashflow structure. Even as an E, you can build I-quadrant income streams.

Let Data Speak

Open Rich Dad Finance Tracker. Look at your Income Pie Chart.

  • Now: Salary 99%, Interest 1%.
  • Goal: Get Interest/Dividends (I-quadrant) to 10% next year.

The Passive Income Runway feature tells you: How many days can you survive on passive income alone? It might be 0.5 days now. But watch it grow to 30, 100, then 365 days.

That's when you are truly free.
