What's This Episode About?
One day Paula found herself making more money in her side hustle than in her low paying day job. Paula wanted to quit to pursue this new path, but she was hesitant due to the instability that comes with entrepreneurship. She gravitated towards real estate investing and her desire for some financial stability lead her down the path to financial independence.
Together we discuss how achieving financial independence doesn't necessarily mean early retirement, but instead can provide the financial security needed to pursue a career that truly brings you joy.
