Cashflow101 Game by Robert Kiyosaki available in South Africa via SalesPartners
The second best method to remember what has been learned is simulation (the first is actually doing it) that's why Robert Kiyosaki developed this phenomenal board game. Books for example range very low on the learning cone of retention.
In the game you are required to keep accurate financial statements at all times, including having them audited by a fellow player. As you then run around the rat race - chasing the salary of a job - you are presented by opportunities, small and big ones. It is up to the player to decide if they want to go for a small or a big opportunity.
"In most games I facilitate it always happens to first time players that they invariably go for the big deals first even though I explain they are from $6,000 upwards and nobody at the beginning of the game has that much cash." explains Bettina Horvath, SalesPartners Cape Regional Developer, who facilitate free game events regularly. "But it seems that we think we can only win big when we have those big opportunities. Just like hoping to make the big win in the lottery. Meanwhile the trick is to go for the small deals first but then as many as possible. The game teaches that immediately in a fun way. It is always fascintating to see the "Ahaaa" effect in players."
The aim of the game is to earn enough passive income - money that is earned without having to trade time for money - to get out of the rat race and onto the fast track. It seldom happens under 1 hour or even at the first round of playing for first-time players. Robert Kiyosaki says it takes probably about 10 times playing it to really understand what is going on in the game.
At a private dinner with Robert Kiyosaki and SalesPartners key players in South Africa earlier this year he explained that these days he has a very special way of playing the game himself. Him and friends get together, each having an accountant in the back who keeps track of all the deals that happen at a frantic pace.
It has been fairly difficult to impossible to purchase the game locally but now with SalesPartners rolling out their franchise in the country and them being associated to the RichDad Brand via RichDad's Advisor Blair Singer the game can be bought from them.
