502-Pathways to Financial Freedom (in 10 years or less): RV Mechanic (and other small-scale, mobile trades)
Today we continue our discussion of how you can achieve financial freedom in 10 years or less with an analysis of a business I thought my way through recently: that of working as a mobile RV repairman/mechanic.
I think this business (or skilled trades with similar career profiles) has a huge amount to offer the aspiring financial freedom fighter.
Listen to today's show for analysis on the specifics of this opportunity and the parallels you can draw to other careers to help you become financially independent in 10 years or less.
