my asset column in my own corporation was money working for me, not

more sense. Soon the cash flow from my properties was so strong that my
company bought me my first Porsche. My fellow Xerox salespeople
thought I was spending my commissions. I wasn’t. I was investing my
commissions in assets.
My money was working hard to make more money. Each dollar in my
asset column was a great employee, working hard to make more employees
and buy the boss a new Porsche with before-tax dollars. I began to work
harder for Xerox. The plan was working, and my Porsche was the proof. By
using the lessons I learned from my rich dad, I was able to get out of the
proverbial Rat Race at an early age. It was made possible because of the
strong financial knowledge I had acquired through rich dad’s lessons.

financial IQ, my road to financial independence would have been much
more difficult. I now teach others in the hope that I may share my
knowledge with them.
I remind people that financial IQ is made up of knowledge from four
broad areas of expertise:
