Event description

Increasing your financial skills can effect the profitability of your business. Join us for an evening of networking and playing Robert Kiyosaki (author of Rich Dad Poor Dad) boardgame Cashflow(r). Playing the game is a fun and risk-free way to:

• Discover your financial habits and beliefs • Experiment with new financial choices • Observe the results of your beliefs and choices • Practice "investing" in stocks, real estate and businesses • Become more familiar with the concept of Cashflow • Understand your Balance Sheet and Income Statement

We will network for 1/2 hour then start playing the game since it takes about 2-3 hours to play. Please come even if you've never played it before. You will experience a LOT in a short amount of time!

Here's what Sarah Max, CNN/Money Senior Writer* had to say about the game:

"On a recent evening I bought into a limited partnership, flipped a bed and breakfast for a quick profit, tripled my money on "OK4U" pharmaceutical stock. I also got downsized from my teaching job, bought a duplex and had a baby. After all that, I managed to get out of the proverbial rat race."

    Ruth--Do you think that you'll be hosting another Cashflow night? I've had my eye on this workshop for a while but not managed to register yet. Thanks!

    Hi Sara,

    I'm plan on hosting Cashflow games through Biznik at least once a month, and I also host games through meetup.com (look for "Get Rolling: Capitol Hill Cashflow Meetup"). So there's usually a game going at least every two weeks.... It would be great to have you join us to play the game!

    I am really interested in this game. I have heard many great things about it. Unfortunately I will be out of town tomorrow night, so I can't make it! I plan on coming to another meet up when you host this again.

    Ruth - hate to bow out, but a conflict has come up. All I've heard and read is that this is an awesome, fun time with lots to learn. Hopefully, I'll get another opportunity. ~David

    Hi Ruth,

    Sorry to have to back out at the last minute, but I just got back from work training today and was just unexpectedly given a bunch of work that I have to complete tonight by tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great time and I will hopefully be able to make it next time!

    THAT was SO much fun! Looking forward to the next time.

    I learned a lot about investing, risks and so on. Very good practice!
