Sources of Cashflow
As Global Alchemists, Alchemical Wealth Builders engage all 4 quadrants of Skillful means. In terms of wealth building, in regard to FA-O strategies(first attention-outer: basically actions in the world as most people see it), creating cashflow is foundational. Robert Kiyosaki, in his Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad’s Guide to Financial Freedom
, has identified 4 major quadrants of cashflow possibilities: Employment, Self Employment, Business, and Investing (Real Estate and Paper -stocks, securities etc). (Royalties from intellectual properties seems to be a fifth, but I know Kiyosaki is aware of this cashflow possibility but I don’t remember how he fit it in)
The Global Alchemical Template can be applied to each of these to engage them in a way that expresses the alchemical intention. However, I am initially focusing on the self-employment and business strategies because they are the most aligned with the current expression of my Visionary Heart Path (as best as I can determine) and most relevant to the Project Global Alchemy Bootstrap Experiment, as a whole.
Beyond business fitting the current expression of my Visionary Heart Path, as I have said on the Alchemical Business Blog I believe Business to be an arena of engagement on the global stage that has a great deal of leveraging capacity for supporting positive change.
Furthermore, I feel self-employment and business are likely to key strategies for a lot Global Alchemists. While it is certainly possible to make investing choices that are aimed at bring benefit. as it largely aimed at money itself rather then expressing some personal vision, I think it is likely to be more a support strategy for Global Alchemists rather then a central part of their visionary expression. (I am sure, for a few, it could be their visionary heart path to make investing a central part of their way of interacting with the world to express the change they are becoming). Likewise, I think the most common ways a Global Alchemist will make employment a central part of their strategy will be by being involved with a business that is trying to express itself in alignment with the Global Alchemy Paradigm. Thus more alchemical styled businesses must be brought into existence before a lot of Global Alchemist will likely find remaining in the employment sector as the highest expression of their Visionary Heart Path. However as the Alchemical Path always begins with where you are and since a large percentage of the world currently use employment as their central cashflow generator, I will also look at strategies for applying the Global Alchemy Template to that sector in early stages of this blog development.
I will also be focusing on business because, according to my investigations, even if you are using one of the other cashflow strategies as your primary choice, business can be a powerful support strategy that everyone serious about wealth building should consider. For one thing it provides very significant tax advantage (at least in the USA, I am not sure how universally true that is outside of the USA)
