I have a common dream which is infamously difficult to realise: to achieve what Robert T. Kiyosaki terms 'financial freedom' in his bestselling guide, Rich Dad Poor Dad. More than being wealthy, I take this to mean that money no longer has a bearing over how you chose to live your life. While I don't aspire to fame, or necessarily even to fortune, my goal is to design a system whereby I can work little or not at all.
This blog is intended for anyone who aims to seed and grow a profitable company, while also considering how to invest the proceeds. It will refer to the writings of industry leading entrepreneurs and financial experts, covering subjects as diverse such as forming and running a limited company, franchising, marketing and evidence-based Technical Analysis.
Right now I'm a graduate, unemployed and unexperienced, and living with my parents in a UK city. Like a newly floated company, there is no guarantee of my success - worse, the odds are against it. But it is clear from here that in order for anyone to succeed as business owner and investor there are certain lessons to be learnt and routes to be explored, and so I hope my story will be relevant and, if nothing else, entertaining.
