This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I have a gift for you! I’m sharing the 1st chapter to my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom. In this chapter I start off my book defining Financial Freedom and Independence and addressing the various financial independence approaches. I highlight the importance of setting financial goals, even if they seem unattainable initially, and the personal growth achieved through the pursuit of FI. Financial Independence doesn’t necessarily mean you need to quit working, instead it's about having options and control over your financial life.

In the first chapter of my book I share:

How to choose a path other than the basic personal finance and elite FIRE approaches and create your own financial path to Financial Freedom
That financial independence is not about accumulating wealth but about the personal growth and skills gained along the journey.
That the idea that retiring early is impossible or unrealistic is a common misconception. This decision is personal & can vary from person to person.
Why you should view financial freedom as a form of control and peace of mind, even with any current financial constraints.
