Hey, I'm Tom - the founder of Flexibility Is Freedom - pleased to meet 'cha! 😀
I used to work 9-5 (okay, more like 9-9) as an investment analyst for a major pension plan. As an undergraduate business student, it was literally a dream come true!
So why did I quit my career and become a passive income entrepreneur? 🤔
Well, I had many reasons (5, to be precise) but it boiled down to this: I realized that while my bank account was going up, my "time" account was slowly ticking away. 🕒
It dawned upon me the irony of trading the best years of my life for money, only to end up (attempting) to trade that money back for a taste of youth again (the "midlife" crisis).
That's why I became a passive income entrepreneur - to build brandable businesses and acquire long-term assets that generate passive to semi-passive income. 📈

Γεια σου (Yassou / Hello) from Athens, Greece! 🇬🇷 Since early November, I've been traveling through Greece and I really enjoy the warm weather, great food, and amazing historical sites in this country. While it's starting to get cold now, it still feels like a typical autumn day in Canada. I've been staying in Athens […]
Greetings from Zadar, Croatia! 🇭🇷 I'm currently travelling through this seriously stunning country during the end of summer season (smaller crowds, lower prices, and good weather!). During this last week, I've visited Dubrovnik (where they filmed most of Game of Thrones), took an absolutely amazing drive from Dubrovnik to Split (with breathtaking views of the […]
