Identity is destiny
10:48 - 10:52
Employees are soldiers, free agents are mercenaries, business owners are warriors and investors are advisors to kings.
The above is my conclusion, based on the four types of income earners described by Robert Kiyosaki in his books (Rich Dad Poor Dad, the Cashflow Quadrant, etc.).
As you can see, an employee behaves very differently from a free agent, because he is a soldier who is somewhat protected by his "army" (corporation).
A free agent works alone. A business owner is a skilled warrior who can recruit skilled soldiers or mercenaries to join his team in order to fight on the battlefield.
From this, we can see that the economic option you choose (whether to be an employee, a free agent, a business owner or an investor) will make you think in a certain specific way.
In other words, the person you think you are, will then do what you (unconsciously) think you MUST do, and this determines your economic / financial destiny in life.
That is, IDENTITY IS DESTINY.
For instance, if you believe you are an employee, then like all soldiers you will tend to obey orders and do what you are told.
If you think you are a mercenary, then you will tend to continually sharpen your talent and skill, because how good you are determines whether you get contracts.
