When Julie Macken achieved financial freedom and quit her job in 2001, she felt happy and prosperous. But she wondered why more people weren't thriving financially. Having discovered that making money does not need to involve hard work, she wanted to share her knowledge. Some people wanted to copy Julie, assuming that if they duplicated her action as an investor that they would achieve the same results. But Julie knew that the path to financial freedom, or any form of success, is primarily an emotional journey. Before she began investing, Julie studied wealthy people and developed an understanding of how they think. Success in a personal thing and it comes in many guises. For Julie it is predominately about fun, freedom, love and motion forward. Some think they will become happier when they have more money but Julie believes that the attainment of our dreams is not the real prize. The true reward comes from our life experience along the way. Our achievements are not as important as who we become as a result of the journey. Although written by a property investor, this book is much more about the psychology of success than it is about real estate. Liberally spiced with stories that stir the emotions as well as material to stimulate the mind, the adventures and lessons in this book bring to light the essence of freedom that dwells within us all. Many books about money aim to teach you what to do. Footloose and Financially Free will inspire you to think for yourself. Every page is littered with clues.
