skip school & travel
Hey friend,
If you are ready to skip school & get paid to travel the world- here are the first action steps to take straight away:
Pick a place and book a ticket.
Preferably somewhere far from home as possible. With a different language, culture from what you know. Book the flight so you have 30-45 days to get your life at home wrapped up. Do it before you’re ready, or before you even know how its going to work out. You don’t need a lot of savings. Pick the place depending on your budget. Chances are you can live cheaper abroad then at home.
Pick a high value
Next pick a high value skill that you are naturally curious about. A skill that is leveraged, in demand and creates growth for businesses aka cash. I go through the how-to of this process here.
Let go
And finally begin the process of letting go. If you choose this path, its because you want something new. Something greater than what is common or typical. And so, to receive that you will need to let go of much of what you think you know. About the world, about yourself, about money, about what it is you are here to create with your life.
Join a community of like-minded people on the same path.
This is a path you ultimately have to walk alone. However, being apart of a network of others on a similar journey is priceless and will help a lot. This is something I’m creating and slowly inviting people into.
Talk soon
