When the student is ready, the teacher appears!

I am getting ready to be a world wide nomad once again. I will start my journey in December of 2019 in Alamos, MEXICO where I plan to live for 6-12 months. I have always been a self employed artist and even had a multi-million dollar business with 72 employees at one time. Freedom is my most important need. I have learned a lot and treasured it all but am ready for full time adventure! I’m turning 70 at the end of November and look forward to this new beginning! Thank you for showing me I am on the right tract!

Better to get the paperback

I often come back to this book for inspiration, and the narrator gives a killer read! But, if you really want to implement the advice on this book, you’ll need a hard copy; it’s part motivational, part workbook.

The book that changed my life

Wow. This is such an easy read for an educational book. This was the first book I read when I realized I wanted to stop slaving 10 hours a day and barely paying the bills. As I was learning so many business hacks and ways to create and grow a successful business without killing myself, I had an epiphany, I thought of a gap in an industry, and decided I was going to start my own online business. I quit my job and am now building my company. I thought it was going to be scary, but it's not. It's fun and exciting. I recommend this book to %100 of people. Understand how financial freedom is accomplished and you will be able to obtain it a lot easier than you'd think. Thank you Tim Ferris!

A Great First Read

I definitely want a hard copy as a reference, but I never would have read the whole thing if it wasn't on Audible. Amazing find!
