I was recently approached to speak at an event by the organisers in a neighbouring country simply because I had my professional resume posted up on Linkedin. The organisers had never met me before in person nor had they ever heard me speak at other events. But based partly on the strength of my online profile in Linkedin as well as my track record in speaking at specific events that I’ve listed on my public profile, they invited me to speak at their event.
I am fortunate that they spotted my profile and liked it enough to take the risk to invite me to speak at their event which was run successfully. But what does this little episode have to do with financial freedom?
The world is now open to us through the internet. There are more possibilities and routes towards financial freedom now compared to say, twenty years ago. It is only through networking and having online connections that we can leverage on this global interconnectivity to expand our minds towards possibilites for financial freedom.
