Yo! If you’re in Chiang Mai this weekend, come hang out at Cinepod Studio for the next Business Builders event. 👉🏻 https://www.facebook.com/events/1352464009844890 I’ll be there... along with @Jacob Mooney, Minnie, Nin & Cyril who will be talking about how to actually grow your brand on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. It’s not a free event, but it’s only about 2,000 baht (around $60) and will be totally worth it. You’ll be learning from people who’ve built massive followings online and you’ll get to workshop your own plan with them too. Hope to see you there!

Don't make it all about YOU. Make it about THEM. In other words help people.

I ask for your input because I have no idea why people work in coworking spaces. Maybe I'm missing something. If I am, please straighten me out!!! Let me provide you with a personal example. I was in a Thai beach town. I had my laptop in my backpack, ready to set up shop wherever I went. I saw this "working space" place. I had heard of such places but had never been inside one before. I went inside. A lady met me at the door and said I had to pay for admission. I asked if they had food and coffee. She gestured to a counter with a drip coffee machine and some pastries in a glass case. I looked around and saw a few people working on their laptops, seemingly unaware of their surroundings. "The second floor is a quiet zone," she said. "No talking." "Damn," I thought. "Nobody is talking on the first floor. The silence on the second floor must be deafening." I thanked her for her time and left. I walked a couple of doors down to what was a lively cafe. I went inside. For free! I found a pleasant corner with a comfortable sofa and a big table. I set up my laptop, my second screen, and my Bluetooth keyboard. A waitress, bringing my coffee by the time I finished my setup, gave me the cafe's WiFi password. I looked at the menu and ordered lunch. It was excellent. So here's my point. I don't understand why online workers go to working spaces. Would you have gone to the working space? Why? Or would you, like me, have gone to the cafe? And again, why?

Just curious about how some of you have managed to escape your home countries, and achieve a location independent lifestyle? Any ideas on career paths to get there? (digital marketing?) I'm a front end developer but can't find an entry level gig in the UK so I'm looking to try something else. I've taught english before in Spain (TEFL qualified, but no degree), which I'd rather not go back to, but it is an option. It seems that relying on the job market in UK in particular, is a complete dead end, and some sort of online business is the way forward. Any ideas welcome

For YEARS I've been watching people put off their dream of living abroad for a couple of reasons. This post will be the first of many attempting to address them. "You don't have the knowledge or skill set to make it work." Total. Freaking. Nonsense. When people decide to have a baby, do they wait until they've figured out how to handle every single parenting challenge for the next 18 years? Hell no! They learn the basics, connect with other parents, and solve problems as they go. Moving abroad works EXACTLY the same way. And that's because the path becomes clearer once you're actually on it. But there's this weird belief that you need to have everything figured out before you take the first step. It's keeping way too many people stuck where they are. What do you think? Is this stopping you from making the move? Drop a comment and let me know if this resonates...or if I'm way off base. I'm genuinely curious what you think.
