Only slightly smug !!!
I’ll tell you in second why and how what I learned I think can help you but first I need to create a little perspective so you understand my smugnocity
I absolutely love, love, love the book the Cashflow Quadrant. It totally changed my life but …..
While I could see the sense in it and the B & I quadrants and I set my intention to be In and Live from the these two Quadrants and have assets in it, I had a slight issue with them
In the book Robert Kiyosaki describes the B (Business) side of the quadrant as a business that has 100 employees plus and a physical premises that has systems in place that if you stepped away from the Business for a period of time it could still operate and you would still be receiving a recurring income from it
The “I” quadrant stands for Investments and predominantly comes from the perspective of Investing in stocks and shares and Real Estate, again creating a recurring/passive income
These are Positive Assets
I had a dream of being self-employed and when it manifested (thanks to my goal card) I naively believed “I’m finally in Business Now Baby” but Robert, when his book came in to my awareness abruptly made me look face on to the reality I already started to know deep down intuitively ….. 🥺
I was not in a business
I did not have the model above because if I stepped away … I stopped earning !!
I was squarely in the “S” part of the quadrant “Self-Employed”. One Wo(man) band doing everything for myself, trading time for money and there was only so much time to earn that money in. My Income from my Bricks N Mortar business was severely capped even though I was working far more hours than ever before
Basically if you look at the quadrant as having two sides. A & B. The A side is “E” Employed and “S” Self-employed and both of these options are trading time for money but unlike being employed where Yes, you have a boss telling you what to do. You do get time off and have annual leave and usually holiday/vacation pay but as self-employed and I have found and many other self-employed people I have spoken to, You very rarely get time off and there is no annual leave pay
It’s definitely not living the dream
And the B side ….
Leads to FREEDOM !!!
But there was a problem ……
I didn’t have money to invest in stocks and or real estate and the thought of managing over a Hundred people made my blood run cold after being a Corporate Manager for many Years and all the joys that entailed with the People Management, HR issues not to Mention Disciplinary issues and internal politics
However I had a feeling there was another “B” & “I” model. One I enjoyed far better building and one I have been advocating to create New World Freedom and a Way to Wake Up Happy, which is my Mission to make as Many People as Possible WAKE UP HAPPY Doing what They Love and Loving What They are Doing while creating an income from it
I Am so Invested in this (pardon the pun) I bought the domain name mywakeuphappy.com and give away a Morning Routine as Gift to Help People who are not FEELING this way start the process of their own Transformation
(Disclaimer: Mr Kiyosaki wrote the book in 1998 and the world has Transformed phenomenally since then. Not to mention the Paradigm shift of a global pandemic which actually helps my idea of the B & the I thrive in these unprecedented times so this in no way a criticism of this incredible book. I am sure Mr Kiyosaki would advocate the new world order towards his model. I am just talking about the way it was introduced to me from the time of its initial writing)
So what’s this all about Ali you maybe crying out …
When I first heard of the B model I knew of a Business Model that would be perfect for this side of the section without the overheads of premises and without the problematic situation of managing multiple people. No Appraisals, Supervisions, no performance management issues or hiring or firing 401K’s or health plans yet the possibility to work with literally thousands of people, not just hundreds and Yes unlimited Recurring income potential
And the “I” side …..
My version was creating Digital Assets that you built once. The majority of, if not All for Free and use and sell multiple times over and the ability to create unlimited digital assets
No need for “investors Capital” to help purchase Real Estate. No multiple thousand dollar portfolio’s to invest in Property or stocks and shares
And there is an incredible book called The Blue Ocean Strategy which I love and used the premise to model my own Blue Ocean around my product and service in a saturated market but recently I have been advising that the Blue Ocean is You ~ You as a Brand and Your own unique identity is what should be created and cultivated based around what You are most passionate about and everything You create hangs under Your “You” Brand and that can be and should be as multifaceted and infinite as it Transforms from taking Inspired Action
In model one I touched on for the B quadrant in my view something I see as the perfect vehicle but it is not currently a popular model because In the profession I truly believe is the perfect model for it , the old way of operating has given it a less than favourable reputation and many discount it before investigating it and cut off an incredible opportunity because of something heard from a friend of a friend who the business didn’t work for them but through no fault of their own because in the majority of cases the Method of Operating advice is not feasible in the “REAL WORLD” and then creates a sense of failure and guilt when they are not getting results. Not perfect operating states of mind for Inspired Actions to flourish
I know, why? because I was sold that version but it made me feel icky but at the same time I also saw it as my navana for Freedom while helping thousands of people experience the same Freedom but I am advocating a different way of operating based on the Personal Brand Blue Ocean Passion Based Online Location Freedom version
And I must admit …. while my intuition was telling me “Yes” this is the way for You. I did FEEL like a Lone Ranger (but in truth nothing new there 😜) and I just kept building my vision
Where others were using the “Hit Em Up Method” as I call it and getting no results I spend hours, weeks months quietly building an infrastructure and foundation of automation and replication that works for me 24/7 if I am there or not, working my business and that’s why I call it and anyone who chooses to work with me The Freedom Empire Builders
Right still building a picture but not the vision
Well I have been on 2 online Virtual Events this last few days as I write and while in one there was still a lot of me saying black and feeling there was a lot of white I totally saw a change in Direction
There was hardly any Hit Em UP Method discussed however there was a whole section of the Importance of Being Your Own Brand and it was clearly stated that directly out of Facebook HQ it was stated “That as the demographic changes in age groups Instagram will take over Facebook as a platform”
What has this got to do with my smugness?
I Am currently as I write in physical presence anyway 55 and I have been feeling that as time goes by there will be a population of people who won’t have known of a time without social media and who prefer Instagram as a platform and appreciate the potential to create a business and income via Digital Platforms and Leveraging a Personal Brand ~ the writings on the wall as they say or social media wall/feed
The other event said that there is now evidence that people are now turning to digital assets instead of physical assets and they believe there will be a time when people stop choosing physical assets for acculturating personal recurring income and wealth
One of my own Digital Assets is a quick cheap tool about how you can tap into what lite’s you up most and how you can turn it into an Online Business and I literally give hundreds of dollars worth of bonuses away with it that are also Digital Assets.
Why Am I doing this ….. because I had so many people coming to me asking for advice on how to start a business because they thought I was so lucky doing what I love and I wanted to help them Wake UP Happy but at the same time I was giving away all my advice for free and not working on income producing tasks for myself
This easy quick to use tool is a great way for people like this access my advice, helps me maximise my own time and make a little Passive income from it at the same time from advise I literally invested thousands of personal dollars to learn
The actual Tool that I call Fabulous Freedom Passion Finder is something I created after a Training I took in a Multiple 7 Figure Earners Inner Circle I Am part of and he learnt the initial Training at a weekend retreat he paid several thousand pounds for and says this Training alone, he felt was worth the investment cost of that retreat and I sell mine for only $7 including the Bonuses
If anything I have said has touched something in YOU I highly recommend you grab this tool so you get an idea what I mean when I took about a Digital Asset and see how You could model something similar Yourself
I Am in the process of adding all those bonuses to my website as stand alone products but you could grab it all here for only $7 at fabfreedom.live
One of my Mentors said in a Live recently anyone over a certain age needs to unlearn everything they have learned about business in recent years and relearn business from teenagers and people in their 20’s because they know how to use the Creator Economy to increase their Income Exponentially in exponential time
I like to call it the Passion Economy because now more than ever it is possible to monetise what you love to do most and are most passionate about and no formal education or qualifications necessary because people are attracted to Your most Authentic Passionate Self ~ Your YOU Brand !!!
Talking of that Mentor … they are holding an amazing FREE event this weekend talking about these subjects and more way of recreating recurring income and one of the Keynote Speakers in the Creator of Netflix … OMG !!
There is an incredible event and if you want to attend why not click the link here but be warned spaces are limited !! Virtual Recurring Income Summit
