VIDEO: How I Used Cash Flow Investing to Achieve Financial Freedom

My name is Adnan Saani Dangotey. I am not a believer in conspiracy theories. But if indeed there's a conspiracy to keep people in our part of the world poor, then the biggest mistake was to ignore someone like me to understands the fundamentals of money-making because everyone will understand it. To become financially free, you have to devise a cash flow strategy. Cash flow is what is going to make you rich, not cash. The mistake most of us make is that we put so much emphasis on cash instead of cash flow. We believe that one day we will receive money and that something will happen for us to get money. That's not going to happen. Even if you happen to "get" money, it will come from three sources: winning a lottery, receiving an inheritance, or someone giving it to you. And if that happens, you will lose because even if someone gives you a million dollars, you remain a millionaire as long as you don't buy a bottle of water. The minute you buy a bottle of water, you become poorer, not poor, but poorer. That means your tomorrow is better than your today. The goal is for your tomorrow to be better than your today without compromising today. My philosophy on cash flow investing is simple. I call it the "aljanda maa" in my native language, meaning the "heaven" system of making money. Eat whatever you like, drive whatever car you want to drive, spoil yourself with money, but at the end of the month, make sure you have invested in a monthly cash flow system. When you do this, you are able to increase your monthly income every month for the rest of your life. When you look at businesses and investments in terms of cash flow, it opens up a new universe. It is heaven-like, and the compounding effect of that is mind-blowing. The nature of your cash flow will determine whether you have financial freedom or financial security. I am going to oversimplify the two concepts. If your cash flow system can outlive you, you have financial security. If your cash flow system is a business whose lifespan you are not sure of, you are said to have reached financial freedom.
