How to ramp up your financial intelligence training
Posted by admin on March 5th, 2008
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 my learning, so here they are:
- how many times did I partner with others?
- how many deals did I let go by without looking at all the options?
- how many win-win opportunities did I take? How many did I pass?
- how many other people at the table exited the “Rat Race”?
- how many times did I “check out” of the game when it was not my turn?
- Is there any such thing as “not my turn” in Cash Flow? (Not in my book – I once got out without rolling the dice once.)
- how many times did I say “I can’t” to myself, v. saying “how can I?”
- how could I have exited faster? More safely?
- do I play like it’s a game, or like how I do anything is how I do everything?
- was I ever bored during the game, and if so, what was I afraid of that caused “boredom”?
- what did I do differently during the game?
How many questions does your Cash Flow group ask when the game is over?
Do you play the game to win, or to change?
If you always play the same way, is this helping you open up options or solidify your current beliefs?
