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."

    Dear Ruth:

    I loved playing the game last time you had the event. The isn't like Monoply but more like Life (and not the cereal). We will have the time to play the game until the end. Sign up quickly or you will be closed out.

    What a bummer! I have a client this afternoon so I can't make it by 3. I'm going to check out the date and time for your next meeting and hopefully it'll work out : )

    Ruth, Thank you so much for the invite. I am sorry I will have to miss the game. It sounds very helpful. I have a meeting at 3 pm.

    However, I am thrilled to see you today for Mastermind Monday.

    Great game, great event! We had fun, and several of us managed to escape the rat race in less than 2-1/2 hours! This game really teaches you to re-think money.
