Two monumental things happened when Nixon was president. No I’m not talking about Watergate. The first, Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard. I write of this often. The second thing I just learned, Nixon made October 6th National Coaches Day.
I write often about the value of a great coach. My rich dad was my first coach and I think it is very evident the size of the impact he has had on my life. I am in my 60’s now and I’ve had dozens of coaches in my life. Coaches are what make the difference between an amateur and a professional.

Most of you have seen rich dad’s CASHFLOW Quadrant. This shows where people make their money. It also shows a person’s mindset towards money… towards business… and even towards relationships.
How do I tell if people are an E, S, B, or I without knowing much about them? Rich dad taught me to watch how people interacted with others. From just watching I learned to tell a major difference in quadrants. Let me explain.
The “E” Quadrant is often a follower. They are looking for someone to follow, a boss. While they may dislike their boss and criticize his/her guidance, they will continue to follow. They are not confident or bold enough to lead themselves.
Another thing I noticed within the “E” Quadrant is how they interacted with other members of the “E” Quadrant. Rarely did they cooperate well. They seemed to be in contention with one another to get favorable attention from their boss. Often they would sabotage each other.
“E” Quadrant people rarely, if ever, had a coach. They either could not afford one or could not justify paying for one, primarily because they could not lead. They were happy in their mediocre ‘safe’ life. They did not want to escape. Thy did not truly want freedom.
The “S” Quadrant was very different. They had far less interaction with group activities. They needed to be the smartest person and they needed to do everything themselves.
“S” Quadrant members also never used coaches; they already knew everything.

I learned the “B” and the “I” Quadrants are very different. These people are always looking for new squad mates. These people are always looking for someone smarter or with experience. These people almost always have coaches for nearly everything.
My Rich Dad Coaching programs are not for everyone. Those who have settled for being an “E” or an “S” are not right for my coaching. Rich Dad Coaching is for people who want to learn, not for people who think they know all the answers.
Like Dr. John Berardi said, “Smart people think that they can single-handedly solve all their own problems. They’re slow to ask for help and even slower to get coaching. Get a coach.”
