As a few others have already said...

The only way to achieve Financial Independence and True Freedom you must own your own business. Then, own MULTIPLE businesses so that you have multiple streams of income (in case one of your businesses fails). Also, when developing your business(es) set them up to generate RESIDUAL streams of income. What is residual income? It is income that is self-generating and self-sustaining. Examples? Music, books, movies... (the Rolling Stones are still making money from, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" after FIFTY YEARS!

Money IS NOT the root of all evil. It's what you do with money that counts.

Namaste,
