The reality is, you'll never be financially independent working for someone else. WA is the gateway to your potential, you learn how to advertise and promote yourself, plus interacting with other people similar dreams and visions is priceless.

If you have your niche, go for it and never give up. The fastest way to failure is quitting :)

BTW, I checked out your web-site and you have some very interesting insights. I agree with your Give, Give, Give, point also!

Financial Independence to me means having the monetary resources to take care of yourself and your family well even if the economy stumbles. How to get there has many variables, but working smart and working hard are two requirements. Fate or Providence is also a big factor. Also, your starting point is a factor. For example, someone coming from a poverty base usually has many more hurdles to jump over, but might also be more motivated. (Desperation is often a great motivator) Lastly, the golden rule I believe has much to do with it too. If you treat people right, good things will happen to you, if you cause discord in life, you will have discord. In other words, we reap what we sow, IMHO

Sorry to jump in here..I don't agree this term financially independent. Warren Buffett didn't even mention this at all. Everyone is dependent on something. If you're financially independent just means you are capable to make money on your own.

For example, you depend on passive income to survive, you depend on food for energy..etc. Rather look into the angle, making money doing what I love to do! (F.Q)
