The 4 Stages of Cash Flow: Escaping Poverty to Financial Freedom
4 Stages of Cash Flow You Need to Escape Poverty Systems
My name is Adnan Saani Dangotey. I am here to show you the four stages of cash flow that are essential if you want to escape poverty and achieve financial freedom. I don't claim to understand every financial concept out there. I've come across numerous materials that I couldn't even relate to. But here's what I do understand and can relate to. If you woke me up in the middle of the night, I could explain everything from A to Z. I know exactly how to overcome a debt of $100,000 because I have. I know precisely how to build a business that can be sold for a million dollars because I have. I understand how to attain financial freedom by the grace of God.
During my journey to recover from debt, one thing became immediately clear: my expenses were repetitive. I was paying interest to my investors and had other expenses. It was evident that if I wanted to get out of this situation, I needed cash flow that matched the same pace. Cash flow simply refers to money that comes in every month.
Your path to financial freedom will look like this: employee, small business owner, big business owner, and investor.
The first stage of cash flow is having a job. A job marks the beginning of financial freedom. Your expenses continue to arise every month. Doesn't it make sense for your income to also arrive on a monthly basis? Without a job, you become a burden on society at large. When someone gives you money, you become a burden on them because you only consume and don't produce. Getting a job eliminates desperation from the equation.
The second stage of cash flow is being a small business owner. If you own a business in which you actively work and cannot distance yourself from it for some time, then you are a self-employed business owner. It's still a job, but you are your own employee.
The fourth stage of cash flow is becoming a big business owner. This is precisely what I teach in my Airbnb Masterclass. It is when you create systems and strategies for your business to function independently, allowing it to operate without your direct involvement. In that case, you are a big business owner.
The most important final stage of cash flow is when you become an investor. Naturally, when you have a business that generates money, you invest that money, and your investments bring in more money. You no longer have to work actively to make money. You can invest in real estate, stocks, or other people. For those of you who have watched this video until the end, a book I recommend is Robert Kiyosaki's "Cash Flow Quadrant," which explains these concepts very well.
Remember, by mastering these stages of cash flow, you can pave your own path to financial freedom. Join me on this transformative journey, and together, let's unlock the doors to lasting prosperity.
