Ever time I read you, I get fired up. I have financial freedom but my now 2 year writing journey (started because of you and Todd as a retirement side hustle to stay in control of my life rather than be at the mercy of a crazy world) is about to step up a notch. I am zeroing in now on providing your level of value in my niche. Thanks Tim.

Thanks Phyllis. I'm an open book.

I'm at the early stages of my own journey to financial freedom. But this week my monthly income paying fund paid me £1. It's the first step towards passive income. The next step is to build an asset and lifestyle as Tim has done. It can be very hard to find what you want to do, when you have worked a job for over 15 years.

Using money to make money 💰 most useful thing I read so what do you think of laddering as a method of achieving said financial freedom?

Great article Tim, I often think Buffett and Naval share similar philosophies on personal development/making money. I love “Act out of inspiration, not out of obligation.”, haven’t heard it before.

I think Naval was inspired by Warren Buffett. Seem to remember he mentioned it in a podcast.

Fantastic read. Gifts a wealth of stock. It's totally the "freedom" for me. As the saying goes you give a man a fish 🐟 you teach him how to eat. Teach a man to fish 🐟 you teach him how to live. Thanks Tim.

This was another great read Tim. Your section about being rich and famous is a breath of fresh air. A lot of people chase fame and attention so they can inflate their already inflated egos, and it's pretty neat to see you're not like that. I appreciate you and your writing immeasurably.

Can't wait to hear once you've done it. I did it 2.5 years ago. It was scarier than having a kid.
