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."

    Hi Nina,

    Yes, we've played once after Lisa Bradley's Mastermind Monday event and that worked out great because the space at Mosaic is just right. So there's the possibility of doing that once a month at that location. And I'm totally open to doing it on some other day during the day - Most likely Tues-Thurs. Would any day/time in particular work best for you?

    Eventually I'll get to a Cashflow game! But I've experienced some last-minute glitches getting ready for a trip to NYC, so I had to cancel my RSVP.
