Happy July 4th!
My old newsletter was simple and boring (I’m sorry!). The new and improved weekly newsletter is going to be much more interesting, helpful, and all around awesome! If you have feedback on how to improve it, please don’t hesitate to reply.
Each week, I’ll be sending you my favorite learnings from the week regarding entrepreneurship, remote work, digital nomading, FIRE, and life optimization! Let’s get started.

“The whole advertising industry and consumer society would collapse if people became enlightened and no longer sought to find their identity through things. The more you seek happiness in this way, the more it will elude you.” –The Power of Now

🤔 Great, simple advice about how to build businesses. I’ve definitely made this mistake before.

🔑The formula for success
There’s a concept that I’ve been thinking about lately about entrepreneurial success. For people who work extremely hard, are constantly improving/learning, and are focused on starting businesses, it’s a matter of when, not if.
If you’re dedicated and improving, then it’s not whether you’ll succeed, it’s just how long it will take you. Whether that might be in 3 months or 10+ years.
For me, shifting from the if to the when mindset was powerful and helped me to truly start believing in my future success.
How To Meet People While Nomading
🧑🤝🧑This is great advice on how to meet people while nomading. A few other ideas that I’ll add are: hostels, hostel bars, and local nomad/expat Facebook groups.
