Thread: Re: In search of the game Cash Flow 101

By Oonagh Montague

The days when a woman’s place was in the home are long gone. Nowadays, she’s more likely to own the home, and perhaps a few more besides. Ria Lawlor, a qualified medical doctor, mother of two and full-time investor, is one of the founder members of the ICES Group, (Irish Complementary Education Systems), an extraordinary team of individuals determined to take the fear out of investing for the ordinary man, or woman.

“It all started in 2002 with a game called Cashflow,” says Ria. Cashflow 101, a board game designed by Robert Kiyosaki, author of motivational book Rich Dad Poor Dad aims to teach players how to invest, focusing in particular on property investment.

“When my husband Ian and I began playing the game with Tony Reid and Darrell O’Dea, we knew nothing about investment. We started as a small group playing in a kitchen. As more people joined, we moved to a hotel in Tallaght and, finally, on to Temple Bar.”

The group grew to such an extent that the original four decided it was time to structure the evenings. “We started inviting guest speakers and holding question and answers sessions,” explains Ria.

In 2003 the ICES Group was officially formed and, today, network meetings and events take place nationwide. Guest speakers at ICES meetings explore a range of subjects, such as gold investment, how to make money through property, stocks and shares, or the ever-crucial subject of tax. However, there is even more to learn when the speakers are finished. According to Ria, the questions and answers slot is often the most interesting aspect of an ICES Group event.

“People will ask questions such as ‘I’m looking at a property in Dublin 6, is it a good investment?’ or ‘How do I go about renting my house?’ It’s about shared knowledge and shared information. You might meet someone who tells you about an investment that may not be right for them, but it might be right for you.”

For Ria, this boils down to one simple lesson: “We’ve found that if you increase your network of people, you increase your net worth.”

For Tina Suvanto, a former librarian, the contacts she made through the ICES Group have led to fruitful investments.

“You can’t underestimate the power of meeting with like-minded people. I’ve made long-term friends from ICES Group,” she says.

Education forms the cornerstone of the ICES Group approach. To this end, they run several programmes and master classes. One of these is the Property Discovery Programme (PDP).

Clare Connolly was on a career break from her high-powered job with a pharmaceuticals company when she enrolled in the PDP.

And the outcome? Clare released equity on her home and went on to invest in a property in the UK, two in Eastern Europe, one in New York and she has just closed on a apartment in Massachusetts.

Through contacts made in ICES Group, Clare also now runs a letting agency. “It’s been life-transforming. As a single parent with a 15-year-old daughter, it initially felt like a big risk to take, but I thought, if I don’t do it now, I never will. I’m so glad I did. It’s just where I want to be.”

As Ria emphasises, anyone can become an investor: “It’s important to remember that everyone starts off at ICES on the same footing. None of us learned about money in school.”

In fact, one of the main lessons learned at the ICES Group is about returning to basics. Ria explains: “It’s about those very simple habits that many people have forgotten nowadays; like keeping an eye on your money, like saving. These are basic steps that have nothing to do with how much money you have. What’s important is what you do with it”

Only Men Can Be Property Tycoons?

We all want to have enough money to be happy from today until the day we leave this earth.  Enough, is a carefully used word. For some people, enough is the amount of money it takes to just have what is needed, for others it means being wealthy and making a LOT of money.

In order to move from making money to wealthy, you will need to change your perception of life.

These tips to a successful life of making money and becoming wealthy will surely help.

Your mind and your money.
It is important to think about money in a more organic way if you are going to become wealthy. Money will have to be something you save and not something you spend. Being thrifty today can save that wealth for the long run.

The Smaller the Better. 
Aiming at the smallest of savings and adding up those amounts over time can be the best choice for a person wanting to be wealthy. Those smalls savings will add up over the years and as long as they are left untouched they will grow to be the wealth you desire.

The freedom of saving.
All it takes to be freedom from the financial burdens of life is saving. Saving is what people who are wealthy essentially do. So the next time you drop $20.00 on coffee or $40.00 on lunch, remember that the money you save today will buy your financial freedom tomorrow.

You are the one.
The only person that can be held accountable for your financial placement in life is YOU! You are the one that needs to make making and save money, no one else.

Think stock.
The next time you want to buy that new product on the market, stop and think stock. The product will, more than likely, be something you will not use in 10 years, but a stock in the mother company will still be growing.

Look to the champs.
The people who have already traveled the path from making money to becoming wealthy are the best ones to learn from. When finding a mentor, make sure to look beyond the glitz and glamor of celebrity life and focus on the real people of the world.

If your goal in life is to become wealthy, you can achieve that goal. All it takes is time, saving, investing, learning and more saving.

Then, if you have a little more time lying around, you can save a little more.
