The Path Is the Goal
Today, there are thousands of CASHFLOW clubs all over the world.
One reason why CASHFLOW clubs are important is because they are a
shelter from the storm, a way station on the path of life. By joining a
CASHFLOW club, you get to meet people like you, people who are
committed to making changes, not just talking about change.

Unlike school, there is not a requirement of past academic success. All
that is asked is a sincere desire to learn and make changes. In the game, you
will make a lot of mistakes in different financial situations and will learn
from your mistakes, using play money.
CASHFLOW clubs are not for those who want to get rich quick.
CASHFLOW clubs are there to support the long-term mental, emotional,
spiritual, physical, and financial changes a person needs to go through. We
all change and evolve at different rates of speed so you are encouraged to
go at your own speed.
After playing the game with others a few times, you will have a better
idea of what your next step should be and which of the four asset classes
(business, real estate, paper assets, or commodities) is best for you.
In Conclusion
Finding one’s path is not necessarily easy. Even today, I do not really
know if I am on my path or not. As you know, we all get lost at times, and it
is not always easy to find our way back.
If you feel you are not in the right quadrant for you, or you are not on
your life’s path, I encourage you to search your heart and find your path in
life. You may know it is time to change if you are saying things like the
following statements:
• “I’m working with dead people.”
• “I love what I do, but I wish I could make more money.”
• “I can’t wait for the weekend.”
• “I want to do my own thing.”
• “Is it quitting time yet?”
My sister is a Buddhist nun. Her path is to support the Dalai Lama, a
path that pays nothing. Yet, although she earns little, it does not mean she
has to be a poor nun. She has her own rental property and investments in

gold and silver. Her strength of spirit and her financially educated mind
allow her to follow her life’s path without taking a vow of poverty.
In many ways, it was a good thing I was labeled stupid in school.
Although emotionally painful, that pain allowed me to find my life’s path as
a teacher. And like my sister, the nun, just because I am a teacher does not
mean I have to be a poor teacher.
Repeating what Thich Naht Hahn said: “The path is the goal.”
