Hey, this isn’t a realistic game!
Have you ever heard someone comment that “this is not like real life…”, or “these situations aren’t realistic…”?
Probably all valid comments.
Because I either host or play the Cash Flow game at least 3-4 times a month, I tend to hear this sometimes, and because I like to look for the [...]
Sometimes when I start play, I will review my mental roadblocks that I think are keeping me from getting where I want financially, and try to identify that that thought is – then play with the intention of breaking through it.
For example, if I have a persistent mindset that debt is bad, I will play [...]
My approach to playing this game is to train my brain to do things differently, rather than validate my previous way of thinking.
To that end, I ask myself questions to challenge these pre-suppostitions. Questions are powerful food for the unconscious.
After yesterday’s Cash Flow Game Night, I was wondering what questions I could ask to improve [...]
After a lively game last night at a local bookstore, a few of us die-hard players were sitting around casually “debriefing” the game. We do this to get the maximum benefit of our new learning, as well as share ideas about investing in general.
What came out of that conversation was a distinction about how many [...]
There is of course no shortage of books and audio programs on investing, personal finance and real estate – it is hard to NOT be bombarded with programs and information and there is always a guru or financial coach ready to help.
So why branch out?
For me, this is part of keeping sharp, comparing other strategies [...]
Posted another night of Cash Flow Magic for February 14 – oops, I mean Feb 13th, since the normal Thursday game falls on Valentine’s Day, and I would not want anyone to have to make THAT choice!
Silicon Valley players can check out the details nd RSVP at this Meetup site.

See you at the game!
Before I post, I want to go on record in saying that in my experience there is a real value in using the paper scoring forms that come with the game.
The act of writing the numbers, doing the math, changing the numbers, and paying attention to where each amount fits and the effect it [...]
An odd thing happened last week at a local game.
I got out of the Rat Race on the first card I drew.
I am not writing this to brag, just offer a perspective I am realizing more and more – playing the game – or in fact life – does not have to be hard.
Here’s what [...]
I don’t know if this is true for other people, but I find I learn the most when I push myself past my comfort zone, and try a game strategy I might not be used to.
I also learn something each time I look for a positive outcome from an experience that might seem negative at [...]
You know the saying, “Two heads are better than one…”?
The basic principle behind this group is to give you a focused brainstorm of ideas on a specific question or issue you want ideas on.
Synergy: the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
1+1=3
When you have 4-5 people directing their ideas on a question you [...]
