The CASHFLOW Quadrant is a tool to categorize people based on their income sources. It consists of four sections: Employee (E), Self-employed (S), Business owner (B), and Investor (I). Each individual resides in at least one of these quadrants, determined by where their cash comes from. Many rely on paychecks as employees, while others earn money through self-employment, owning a business, or investments.

The book is written for those ready to transition from the E and S quadrants to the B and I quadrants, aiming to move beyond job security towards financial security.

The author emphasizes that changing quadrants is not easy. It requires mental, emotional, and spiritual work. He had to overcome the values of his family, who prioritized education, job security, and a stable income. The author had to ignore their warnings about the risks of becoming an entrepreneur and investor.

The book is about finding your path in life. Most people are programmed early in life to get a job, which usually leads to a profession in the E or S quadrant. However, finding your life's path might lead you to the B or I quadrant. The author admits that finding one's path in life is not straightforward, but the book aims to guide readers in this journey.
