Ryan here from onproperty.com.au helping you find positive cash flow property.\\n\\nThis is one of the first solo episodes that I\'ve done in quite a while, where I\'m not actually going to be teaching you a specific property technique or principal or anything like that. This is going to be more free-flowing, talking about financial freedom, goals, and things like that, because this year has been very interesting for me. This year I achieved a certain level of financial freedom. I actually call it pseudo-financial freedom, because I\'m financially free now, but if I completely stopped, then in the short to mid future, then I wouldn\'t be financially free.\\n\\nI didn\'t actually achieve my financial freedom through property investing, but I achieved it through businesses and more specifically the web sites that I have. I run a big network of web sites, each which generates different levels of income, some more than others, and I\'m basically at the point now where I can generate enough income without actually working. So I\'ve achieved a level of financial freedom; however, these web sites are making money now.\\n\\nIn a couple of years, if I don\'t touch them, if I don\'t update them, then they probably won\'t be making as much money.\\n\\nSo I call it pseudo-financial freedom because I have achieved it, but also there\'s some work required in order to maintain it or to increase it or keep it going in the future, but I\'m at a point now where I can choose what I want to work on. I can choose whether I want to work at all or not. I could spend the entire day at the beach. I could spend the entire week at the beach, and it wouldn\'t really matter. So I\'m in this new phase of my life.\\n\\nI\'m in a very interesting position now where I get to experience things that most people don\'t get to experience because they never actually achieve financial freedom or they don\'t experience them until they\'re 65 and I\'m 28 at the moment.\\n\\nI always thought that when you would achieve financial freedom that it would be super happy days, that you would just click your fingers, quit your job, and then live happily ever after because you could do whatever you want, but what I\'m finding is that it\'s actually very different to that, at least for me. I\'m a very driven person. I like to be creative. I like to teach people and share things.\\n\\nI really like to challenge myself, and achieving financial freedom and not working doesn\'t really accomplish those things for me. So, I\'m in an interesting position where I\'ve achieved the goal I set out to achieve, or at least a version of it, but I\'m not in a position where I\'m completely in sync with that or completely stoked to that.\\n\\nYou can hear kids in the background. It is happy hour here, bath time, and my son has just had his immunizations. He\'s a little bit cranky.\\n\\nAnyway, I am going on this journey of exploring what this is going to be like to share with you guys. I\'m not at the point now where I can really talk about it in like a super succinct way and get across to you the feelings that I have or solutions that I have. I do believe that this is going to have an impact on the content that I create for onproperty as well as the way I approach teaching people, the way I approach goal-setting and things like that, because I got to the point that I achieved a goal that I have been trying to achieve for years and realized that, well,'
