Event description

How is your cash flow these days? Every decision you make impacts your personal and business cash flow... Are you setting aside time in your schedule to pay attention to it? Do you know where your money is going and what you can do to increase the flow?

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 Cash Flow
 • Understand your Balance Sheet and Income Statement

We'll start with introductions, play for 90 minutes and end with a useful brainstorm/discussion on how to increase cash flow in real life (with time allowed for networking at the end). 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.“

    I am so happy to see that the game is full and that such a great group is attending. I sent out a message to all the Cashflow Club members right before posting the game, mentioning that I wouldn't be able to attend this specific game since the date coincides with my annual Aver School workshop and that Liza Rademacher would be hosting it for me. It's possible that several of you didn't get my message. I host games twice a month, once through Biznik and once through meetup and look forward to meeting each of you sometime soon.

    Ruth, I would be very gratefull for you if you send me a direction, because the exit 166 is closed (maybe not already) and last time as you remember it took for me 45 minutes to find the place. So, please, can you write me direction through exit 167. It's pretty close from the exit 167 to Starbucks on Olive Way as I understood. Thank you very mush before hand! I appriciate it. Sorry for inconvenience.

    1. Merge onto I-5 North
    2. Take exit 164A for James St/Dearborn St toward Madison St
    3. Continue toward 7th Ave
    4. Keep left at the fork, follow signs for Madison St and merge onto 7th Ave
    5. Turn right at Madison St
    6. Turn left at Boren Ave
    7. Turn right at Olive Way

    Sorry to have to cancel, but my hard drive on my laptop crashed, losing 2000 power point seminars slides, which were not backed up.
