Easy come, easy go... The fast money mindset keeps most people from ever achieving their dreams (I've been there too). ๐Ÿ’ I've recently been diving back into my money, mindset and investing education. After watching a few more hours of podcasts, I can clearly see how far I've come and can truly appreciate all the lessons along the way. โœจ In the quest to live a life of full time travel, the internet is full of temptation that will ask you to part with your hard earned $$$ with the promise for quick returns or the $10k months. ๐Ÿ‘€ The hard reality is, those who keep throwing money at projects and 'opportunities' are often chasing fast money. And many of these types frequently have success for a time, but often fail to build any real lasting wealth. This means when the project finishes up, or sales wind down, many are faced with starting again, and many times from scratch. ๐Ÿ’ฏ I was that person. And being that way kept distracting me from putting money into investments that could grow wealth over time. I kept starting again. Building the next thing... And it felt like I would make a little traction but then have to start again. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ What shifted for me was finding remote work that I love and commitment to building my long term wealth. A few years in and we are doing better than ever before. I can actually see a real path to the wild goals I'm chasing. โœจ If you're after a life of travel and freedom with your family, and if you believe the only way to achieve this life is with network marketing or starting a business, but find it's just leading you back to the same starting point over and over again, this is your sign to shift something. Let go of the story that all jobs are crap and find roles that could help you live your lifestyle NOW & build your long term wealth WHILE ENJOYING life. ๐Ÿฆ‹ I think I'm going to talk about this MORE. Because the biggest lie we are told is about making HUGE long term sacrifices (our lifestyle) so we can save up enough to retire or make fast money so we can live our dreams. And it's just not true anymore. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Let me know if this interests you and what your questions are. I'm excited to keep sharing what I've learned over the years. ๐Ÿ’ฏ image

If you only measure wealth in financial terms, you will forever be poor. ๐Ÿ’ฏ image

I've been slack at posting. Settling into beach life ๐Ÿ’ฏ Chase your dreams while you enjoy the present. ๐Ÿ’ People may think we're $$ rich, but the truth is we are mindset rich. We're living the life we want to live. And we are expanding on that vision every year. ๐Ÿ”ฅ We've been travelling full time almost five years. Three and a half years ago we hit the end of our savings. We had nothing left. We were stranded in a foreign country with no way home and a bank account with about $35 aud (borders were closed - even for citizens)... It was scary, but more importantly, it was an amazing experience of freedom. Because there was that KNOWING, $ would come from somewhere and we would always find a way to make $$ again! ๐Ÿ™Œ We took risks. Mindset was everything. Sheer belief that things would work out and get better. And that belief became reality. Do you believe in #manifestation? I do. I'm living proof it works (it doesn't mean life won't challenge you though & also it doesn't mean there won't be any work involved - but maybe that is a self imposed limitation I need to work on). โœจ #mindset #digitalnomad #family #travel #worldschooling #unschooling #selfledlearning image

I love the beach here. There are trees along the edges so we can sit in the shade. We're definitely enjoying our stay so far. Also, found a kitesurfing school that accepts Bitcoin ๐Ÿคฉ #dominicanrepublic #digitalnomad #family #travel #worldschooling #unschooling

Our week in Martinique has flown by so quickly. ๐Ÿ˜ We loved our time here. I felt totally frustrated that I don't speak french. Such nice people live here. It's beautiful. It's also expensive. Interestingly, most of the islands we visited on this journey remind us so much of Vietnam. ๐Ÿ˜… Tomorrow we are off again and will settle in until early 2025 when we will start making our way back to Asia. ๐Ÿคฉ #digitalnomad #family #travel #martinique #worldschooling #unschooling image
