My Name is Joseph Drups
First, let me start by introducing myself.
My name is Joseph Drups.
Financial Independence at 30
Back in Dec of 2014, at the age of 28 I left my cushy but unfulfilling engineering job to pursue a dream of owning my own business. I built a digital marketing firm from scratch and I was financially independent 2 years later, at age 30. Financial Independence is that point when your business and investments comfortably pay for your lifestyle plus enough to invest.
I bought my first business at age 31 because I wanted to completely separate my time from my income.
Financial Freedom at 34
By age 34, my income was automated and took less than 2 hrs per week to pay for my lifestyle. That’s when I achieved Financial Freedom.
There was just one problem. I was still hungry. The thought of early retirement was boring and I wanted to see what I could achieve if I pursued my highest potential.
Instead of coasting, I doubled up. I acquired another business, then another… and another until I had purchased 6 small businesses.
In this process, I learned how to take a business and set it up to run as a profitable, cash flowing, passive investment from day one. I learned the secrets of the Passive Money Machine.
