Freelancer's Futuristics Series - Asset Building for Future : How to plan and work for your pension

This course is a 'How to' in teaching freelancers the art, science and commerce of building assets that are not perishable.

The assets are those that appreciate over time, provide a revenue stream in far future [ pension / annuity ] when a freelancer may not be working or may not be able to work [ health / circumstances ]

The advisory is not purely financial although financial aspects are included. The webinar discusses 'investments' under the Coconut Tree metaphor that will provide revenue stream in future with intelligent investment now - mostly non-financial and do-able
