Cashflow 202 the board game
Today, my Passive Income buddy Joel and I played CashFlow 202, the board game version, with someone new.
Dave was someone who was listed on the www.richdad.com website as a contact for a "Rich Dad CashFlow club", and luckily since he was the only local contact listed, he also listed as having CashFlow 202 available to play in the board game format. Personally, I've got CashFlow 101 in the board game format but hadn't purchased the cards and extra information required to turn the board game into the more advanced 202 version.
At any rate, Joel got us into contact with Dave about a month ago but nothing ultimately came of the discussions in terms of setting up a game time. Dave was going to try to round up some of the others in the "club" and get back to us. I ended up emailing Dave and Joel last week early on to re-spark the conversation, and suggested the three of us get together even if nobody else was available (because it's summer and everyone's schedule gets changed during the summer months), and Dave was game, so we planned for this weekend, Sunday at 1:30 PM.
It was great to meet Dave and chat with him about his experiences with Rich Dad Poor Dad the book, and then his personal financial experiences and business-building experiences as well. He's actually got a business going that delivers passive income that was high enough for him to move his full time job down to part time, and it sounds like a business that delivers a product that makes people feel better and healthier, which is extra-cool. There are businesses you can build that exploit people and don't give them what they expect, but they are different than ones built that make people feel better in real actuality.
I liked the way Dave had laminated the game cards and was using dry-erase markers instead of pencil and erasers. CashFlow has a lot of erasing and re-calculating of numbers, and can get messy or use up a lot of erasers. I'm going to be laminating some of my game board sheets as well, now.
We didn't make another solid plan to get together to play, but summer is almost over (sigh) and soon things will be back to normal, and more people will be able to come out. We'll probably rotate the hosting home, so eventually I've got to invite a small crowd into my house! Eeks.
