Lessons I learnt from Cashflow 101 Board Game

cashflow-101_board-game1

Over the weekend and for the 3rd time, I played Robert Kiyosaki’s Cashflow 101 board game at the Billionaires in Training (B.I.T.) gathering organized by Generis Solutions. Even though, it was my third time, I still learnt something new. The circumstances or should I say the situations that played themselves out in the course of the game continue to be so real to human existence that they just continue to keep me in awe. So, I thought to myself, if the principles are so true to life, why not share them with my beloved readers.

 

Here they go:

 

-        Opportunities are everywhere: I’ve blogged on something close to this topic before (you can check the archive to read up on it) and the more I played the game, the more I realised opportunities are available to us more often than we realise. They are available to us more often than a lot of other situations of life. So, the problem is not lack of opportunities, the problem is lack of awareness and identification of the existing opportunities. I am sure some of you may ask ‘How do I become aware of or hear about these opportunities? There’ll probably be so many ways but I’ll just highlight 2 that I practice: Read More…

I AM THANKFUL!

 

In my little sojourn in life, I have learnt that in order to receive more, we must show gratitude for the little we have. Everybody appreciates a show of gratitude from someone they have been nice to. Gratitude is most often exhibited by saying ‘Thank You’, however, there are many other ways in which it could also be expressed.

 

Our fathers expect us to show some gratitude for sending us to the best of schools (atleast, the very best they can afford), Our mothers expect us to show gratitude for cooking for us, Our husbands expect us to show gratitude for providing for us, Our wives expect us to show gratitude for taking care of the home and the children and much more. Everywhere we turn, nice gestures are expected to be received with gratitude. The truth is, we Read More…

08.08.08 – Great Day, Great Opportunities

Wow! After such a busy while, what a wonderfully perfect day to write a post. Hope you’ve done something significant enough to remember today? If not, it’s not too late to do so. On my part, myself, my sister and our husbands are taking our Mum out to have fun and watch a film at Silverbird tonight and what more? What a great day to share some great opportunities with great people like you. So, like I promised in my previous post, below are some beautiful opportunities that you must take advantage of. They would serve as eye-openers to current available opportunities that you can partake in like the very rich do. Without taking much of your time, do find details below Read More…

OPPORTUNITIES: ARE YOU REPEATEDLY PASSING THEM OVER?

I saw the most fascinating definition of POOR a while back and I couldn’t help but agree with it totally. ‘Poor’ was used as an acronym which stands for:

P – Passing

O – Over

O – Opportunities

R – Repeatedly

The truth is we encounter opportunities Read More…

Financial Prosperity and GOD!

I am an ardent believer in the fact that there can be no financial prosperity in alienation of God. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that ‘the Lord maketh rich’. The ability to prosper, be financially empowered and financially intelligent is always attributed to the God factor.

 

Let’s look at it from this angle, sometimes your next door neighbour hears of a juicy opportunity within your vicinity and takes advantage of it and you were right in the same vicinity and did not hear and you’re wondering, ‘how come?’ Some would call it luck, others would call it Read More…

The Art of becoming Financially Intelligent!

I played the most awesome game over the weekend. I must say that I have played many games, but there is absolutely no game like it. The game lasted over 4hrs and after it all, we all agreed on one thing … it was time well spent. We were going home wiser, more deep in thought as to the state of our finances and above all, more financially intelligent and clear about Read More…

Hello world!

WELCOME ON BOARD !!!

 

The mission of this blog is to empower people financially.

 

Day after day, you can visit www.derinogunmola.com to feed on information that would transform your life.

 

We would be discussing information that would serve as triggers to help us become all that God has called us to be. There’ll be issues on God, Purpose & Passion, Money making ideas, Investment tips, Investment opportunities, Business ideas e.t.c., basically, all that encompasses a WHOLE Man or Woman.

This site is determined to keep you up to date on information that would liberate you financially. The objective is to equip men and women with information that would make them rise up to great financial heights; as I believe that we all have the God-given potential and opportunity to be wealthy… really wealthy.

Remember, being wealthy is greater than being rich. Being rich is about having loads of money; however, being wealthy is not just about having money it’s about being financially intelligent, even while living a purpose filled life, knowing that the true essence of money is not to have and hold, but to have and give. For, that’s the only way we can be blessings to our community, impact our generation and fulfil destiny.

So, join me as we travel down this road to becoming financially intelligent and achieving financial freedom and as you read from the posts, don’t forget to drop your comments and share any ideas you might have for others to learn from.

 

Passionately committed to raising YOU to great financial heights,

Derin
