Vagabond Entrepreneur Cody McKibben from Thrilling Heroics shares tips on Lifestyle Design for Location Independent Digital Nomads |
When I read Tim Ferriss’ 4HWW, I learned that all the rules have changed. Working 40- to 60-hour weeks and waiting until retirement to do what you really want to do isn’t the only option. The “deferred life plan” is for losers.
It doesn’t cost as much as you might think to live a rockstar lifestyle and jet set around the world, and it really isn’t all about money anyways! Ferriss pointed out that we don’t really want to be millionaires, we want to experience what we think only millions can buy.
By leveraging geo-arbitrage—earning in a strong currency while you live somewhere with a low cost-of-living—extended travel and living abroad can actually present some massive advantages if you choose the right location.
Creating a business I could operate from anywhere has given me the freedom to choose where I live, when I work, and it has enabled me to travel and free up more time to put into relationships, writing, volunteering, and other side projects that might not contribute to my income. Living this lifestyle teaches you that traveling is easier than you think: with a little resourcefulness, you’ll be amazed what sort of great experiences you can have for free or very cheap! You will see some incredible things that will change the way you think about the world.
