anyone can travel.
Hey friend,
I speak to young (and old) people all the time that want to live a life of sovereignty, travel the world, build online income, go on their own journey of education.
The number one thing that always comes up is money.
People assume that the money is the only thing holding them back. That if only they had the resources, they would do it.
However, its just completely not true.
It’s never a lack of resources, its always a lack of resourcefulness.
Consider this, if you are from Australia, United States, Canada, UK, Scandinavia - there is no reason that you cannot leave today.
For example, if you wanted to live in Italy, a place that is very attractive too many, the basic income in that country is $1100 euros a month for locals.
In Argentina, an excellent monthly salary is around $700USD. (The average is $200usd)
Greece, the average monthly income is $1200 euros.
Morocco is $500USD monthly.
South Africa is $800USD.
Thailand is $800USD.
You could live with the same income in these countries if you stay for a year minimum.
Literally anyone with 5th grade reading & writing skills can make $1000USD a month online, its so simple.
The truth is, lack of resources of income is not the reason that you are not travelling the world.
That’s a helpful excuse or lie to tell yourself.
A good way to not have to confront the real reasons.
What is actually missing? What is the real reason you have not gone?
Courage. The courage to walk into the unknown. The courage to leave what you know. The courage to be uncomfortable. The courage to go alone. The courage to not know. The courage to walk a path that is not common. To live without a script. To be apart from the normal system. The courage to not be understood. The courage to live without guarantees.
Consider, that the only limit in your life is the level of courage you choose to live with, and what you believe is available and possible for you.

PS. I just dropped a youtube video where I cover the real reason most young people fail at online business. You won’t find these ideas on any mainstream business channel. Or anywhere else really. Watch it here.
