Lisbon, Portugal
If you want to start living a different life, you have to do something differently.
I couldn’t believe it. After spending 22 years of my life in school, doing everything right and graduating at the top of my class with with healthy side of student loan debt, I was about to start my long-awaited career working in… (wait for it) -
..a basement cubicle of an Orlando office park.
I wanted to cry. 😭 Was this real life or the set of Office Space? Was this what I worked so hard for? To start my business career in a basement with a red stapler?! No. I couldn’t accept it.
So, I turned down the job, threw my resume in the trash, and got a one-way ticket to Costa Rica. Waaaaaaaay before The Four-Hour Work Week came out.
With only $200 in my pocket, I took a chance and never looked back.
Nearly 14 years later, I’m still living my dream life - working on my laptop from wherever I want in the world (60 countries and counting!). 🗺
We all want to experience freedom. We all want to explore.
No-one wants to feel tied down.
No-one wants to feel constricted to a desk and to see their days wasted away within 4 boring walls - (especially if those walls are in a basement!)
If you’re reading this, it probably means you’re ready for change. Ready to claim back your life and your time by experiencing the beauty of working from home with complete freedom and flexibility.
Believe you me - there’s more to life than just sitting in an office grinding away for endless hours. I have been there. I saw the writing on the wall. And I said, hell no.
But today, I have the ability to travel the world and to work from wherever I want, whenever I want. I am not tied down – I am free.
And I am here to help you achieve the very same thing!
You know you’d like to travel more, have more flexibility, or work less.
But how?
In 2019 and beyond, there’s no reason why you can’t live where you want, work where you want and how much you want, PLUS - have more free time for the things that matter most.
It’s time to stop thinking and start acting. There are plenty of ways to make a living online without having to commute to a job just for a paycheck. ❌🚘❌
The biggest problem is - where do you even start? It would take a lifetime to find everything you need to know on Google.
That’s exactly why I created the Digital Nomad Challenge –
a shortcut to attaining the laptop lifestyle.
For the first time ever, I’ve put together the 30 most important things I’ve learned in over a decade as a digital nomad. The same advice and guidance I share with my private relocation and consulting clients at upwards of $250 per hour.
Working on my laptop from Nicaragua in 2007
There’s no need to spend years thinking and planning your future when there’s a simple short cut to leaving the 9-5 behind once and for all.
On any given day, I could be in London, Paris, Rome, Bali, or Tokyo with a few digital nomad friends, living our best lives. Not just on Instagram, but in REAL LIFE.
And the nay-sayers?
Yep, they’re still commuting to jobs they hate 40+ hours per week. They might be higher on the corporate ladder than they were before, but they’re stuck in the rat race.
They did everything right – college, grad school, and a 9-to-5 job. So did I, until I decided to STOP following the status quo and START living life on my own terms.
Mark Twain said it best when he said: “The secret to getting ahead is getting started.” The Digital Nomad Challenge is here to help you do just that.
There’s never been a better time to be alive!
You don’t have to ask permission to live your best life -
you just have to start 🚀🚀🚀
