The most effective way to achieve financial freedom is not through labor or entrepreneurship, but by investing in yourself.
Financial freedom means being able to maintain your standard of living without having to work. In the words of Buffett, it is to have your assets increase while you sleep.
From this perspective, the easiest way to achieve financial freedom is certainly through investing rather than working nine to five or starting a business; it is investing — this holds true in prosperous times as well as in times of recession. And the starting point of all investment begins in the mind.
"Investing in yourself" is a piece of advice from investment master Warren Buffett to all investors. Because it has been spread so widely and repeated so many times, it has become a somewhat dull piece of "self-help wisdom." However, as the tide of the times slowly recedes, one will discover that "investing in yourself" is indeed the best investment, with the key being: it must be a true investment in yourself, rather than self-deception.
