In this episode, Matt Rod shares his unusual journey to financial independence through buying and selling online businesses. Matt was the first in his family to skip the 9-to-5 job and go directly into business for himself. Matt talks to us about the advantages of online businesses and how he and his wife leveraged their strategies to attain financial freedom.

3 Key Takeaways:

• Cash Flow First: Filter out all the noise about what to focus on in business and focus on cash flow. This alone will lead you to success.

• Online Businesses Offer Unique Advantages: Learn to leverage the internet for higher profit margins, geographical flexibility, and the ability to reach niche markets without the constraints of traditional brick-and-mortar operations.

• Believe in Yourself: Matt and his wife knew from an early age that they didn't want to work in a regular job, but it took vision, grit and determination. It's more important to believe in yourself than to get the "right" opportunity.
