How to Thrive in the Gig Economy - MFI Series1, #161

The world has undergone some changes. Long past is the days of working for the same company for 20+ years and receiving a nice pension. We have to survive on our own today. The gig economy tells us that we can work how we like and grow if we want. However, it doesn't tell us how to build ourselves towards retirement. We have to create. We need to create a business, a retirement, and a dream. It's all on us; nobody is going to save us. The first step is to start a business, no matter the size.
From there, we can begin to work on our resumes of work. We also need to be laser-focused on retirement and financial freedom, all while living below our means.  It sounds like a lot, but it's not that bad. Basically, we just need to be intentional with every task we perform and every dollar we earn. Not too much to ask, I hope.
