Babar Raja’s Personal Review

Reading this on an airplane from Zurich to London

I read this book while traveling on an airplane from Zurich to London. It was a short flight, but I was so hooked that I didn’t even notice when we landed. Let me share how it felt. Looking down at the city lights of London made me think about all the people working in those buildings and which quadrant they belonged to.

When I was waiting at the baggage claim, the part of the book about “the price of security” really got to me. I realized that true security comes from control, not a paycheck. It took me 5 nights to finish it completely. I would read about 70 pages every night in my hotel room. This book connected with me because it gave me a clear vision for my future as a creator. My honest rating: 4.8/5.

What I Learned From This Book

The biggest lesson I learned is that working hard is not the same as working smart. I learned that I need to build systems that work without me. Before this book, I thought being self-employed was the peak. Now I know that I want to move to the “B” and “I” quadrants. It taught me that my financial education is my most valuable asset. I learned to stop looking for a high-paying job and start looking for assets that pay me. It is a total shift in perspective that everyone should experience.
