Mike Gibson began learning the theory of money and what it takes to achieve financial independence at the age of 10 from his father, a Physicist who could take any subject and explain it in simplistic terms, even to a child. While his father was teaching the theory of money, Mike’s mother taught him how to apply this theory as she handled the family money and practiced sound money management principles daily. 


By his late teens, Mike was well on his way to achieving financial independence. 


Unfortunately, as it often does, life got in the way and although he dreamed daily of financial independence he found himself walking toward financial disaster. 


Fate stepped in and gave Mike a second chance to relearn the lessons of money and this time the lessons stuck. While the journey would be much tougher the second time around., after years of applying, practicing and refining these lessons, Mike now passes these lessons on to you. May you read, learn and achieve financial independence and on your terms.
