I am glad I went. I learned so much and it reaffirmed what I already knew. One of the best ways to have a financially secure future is by setting up passive income streams. Think about it, there are only so many hours in a day – how many websites, brochures or logos can I make? I am only one-person however, if I were to take my skills and build on them, I am way ahead of the game.
Everyone of you are in the same position as I am, you have a skill set that people want to know more about – or you have a product or service that can be put up on the internet where the world is your oyster, and you are open 24/7.
