Article by Ian Bady
Hello there my name is Ian, I'm named after a close family friend of my parents from England. A few years ago I read a book named "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kyosaki. This book was very easy to understand and it made perfect since to me, this started my education on financial literacy. Since then I have fell in love with Real Estate investing & Internet marketing and the potential to have a "B" quadrant business by building a direct sales organization. I wish to connect with like minded individuals and build a community of aspiring entrepreneurs seeking time freedom and financial independence.
