In this episode of Motivation Monday, Nde discusses the significant impact of financial freedom through personal investments, specifically real estate. Nde's recent loss of his job brings a fresh perspective on the importance of having a backup plan for funding the basics of one's lifestyle. With housing, vehicle expenses, and food covered through his investments, Nde is able to approach the job market from a position of comfort rather than desperation. This episode encourages listeners to strive for financial freedom by making small, consistent investment steps to cover basic expenses and then expanding to thrive. Nde also emphasizes the importance of chasing skills rather than solely income in a career to secure long-term stability. He provides valuable advice for professionals, engineers, and anyone looking to fortify their financial fortress.
