ESBI

E-S-B-I --> Cash flow Quadrants

Have you read the any book by Robert Kiyosaki? If you had, you would have been familiar about the 4 Cash Flow Quadrants - ESBI. For many people who has been in the E quadrant, myself included, there is a very fine line between S & B. Until you really get yourself into S quadrant, you may not appreciate truly the differences.

After getting into the S quadrant for about 2 months, I started to feel the constraints of being in the S quadrant. There is this feeling of not being able to grow. The lack of growth can be very stressful because it can cause you to be in a different kind of fear. To me, being in the S quadrant is no better than in the E quadrant. The uncertainty is the same if not higher. In fact, it can be worse than being in the E quadrant.

If your trade is job by job basis, you are like being in the E quadrant again and again. This can be even more frustrating than the E quadrant. The only consolation is that any frustrating jobs is a short term thing. But, what is the difference of being in the E quadrant? You can also seek out another employer just like in the S quadrant where you seek out another customer.

In conclusion, S quadrant is not much different from E quadrant. If you want to gain more freedom, you need to move to B or I quadrants as quickly as possible..
