for the past nine months my fiance lloyd and i have been traveling the world full time
oh my god
gonna wow
it's felt like a dream
in 2022 the average person lives for 72.6 years and retires at 63.
that leaves you with less than nine years to get to live your life how you want to
but only if you've played your cards right and saved your money or have a retirement fund and
haven't developed any health problems along the way well doesn't that sound a little bit [ __ ]
sacrifice nearly your entire life to be able to maybe do what you want for nine years
finally get to do all the travel you've wanted to do for your whole life just quickly before you die
here's why you should say [ __ ] all that and quit your job to travel today
i'm sharing this video with you today because it's a video i needed when i was stuck in a job
i hated and living in a way that wasn't true to the dream life i had in my head i was just
living in a manner of which society had deemed appropriate and right i used to wake up every
morning feeling more and more depressed and just stuck just had a lady come and pick up our dresser
out of here really messy and she just tried to buy bear
when we learned about making money online from a podcast nearly four years ago i knew that would
be our escape we quit our full-time jobs and both started working at a cafe during the day
and at night we were learning everything there was to know about e-commerce and making money
online along the way there were so many moments we wanted to quit we were broke
and living in a caravan with our dog bear uncertain if we would ever get through it
close your eyes get some rest
i'm by your side
lay your head on my chest
i know you've had a really bad day then the australian bushfires hit 20 000 people are
tonight in the path of the mega fire rolling down the blue mountains into the town of lithgow we
were warned of catastrophic conditions and right now there are seven fires burning at emergency
levels then covert hit across the world dozens were falling ill with a mysterious virus that
would ultimately change life as we know it it felt like everything came crashing down on us at once
all this made us question our decision of leaving our jobs friends and our comfortable secure lives
but after years of struggling and learning our way around e-commerce and nearly giving
up multiple times we sold our first ecommerce brand for enough money to help us escape and focus
solely on making money online and when we did we left for bali for a more affordable way of living
my fiance lloyd and i have now been traveling full-time for the past nine months all over
southeast asia living on a frugal but comfortable budget and making money online and i'm telling you
right now it's not as difficult as it's made out to be however the ticket of entry for you living
this lifestyle is handing over the security that a 9-5 job claims to provide you if there's anything
that the last few years can teach us is that the security is entirely false as it can be taken away
from you at any given moment so when you weigh up how little security your job already has
why wouldn't you want to take the risk to see what happens when you chase after what you
really want in life whether it's travel starting a new business or chasing a dream really you owe
it to yourself to see where it could lead you in the past nine months i've learned more about
how life works the world and even myself than i have in almost my entire life i've realized how
resilient we as humans can be when backed into a corner there's an old saying that when you want to
take the island you have to burn the boats and i feel like that even applies to something as
simple as quitting your job and buying a one-way ticket and finding a way to make it work waking up
every day and going to a job you hate and living a life you hate is really hard doing that same
stuff that you hate and working on something that you care about on top of it to escape the life
is even harder but so is the uncertainty of knowing when the next paycheck is coming in
or if you're going to run out of money whilst overseas no way of living is for certain there
will always be doubts but i'd rather choose the difficulty in my life and know that all the hard
work i've put in is going towards getting me my dream life not the person that i work for when we
started our online journey we were just working in e-commerce and when we cut the cord of being able
to go back to a job at any time by moving to bali it was amazing how quickly everything expanded we
quickly gained new knowledge new revenue streams we started an online course that actually teaches
people how to do exactly the same thing that we do in e-commerce and we even started this youtube
channel you're watching here which took off while we were overseas which we did not plan for at all
we were so grateful for it and it wouldn't have happened if we didn't take the chance
at selling everything we had to pursue a life we weren't even sure existed
i just wanted to share the story because thankfully other youtubers had done the
same before we left australia and they really helped motivate us to take the leap and i feel
like more people that share stories like ours the more inspiration can be spread across the
world to take that leap of faith life is so short and [ __ ] can really change at any
given moment security is false on any level so i suggest trying to remove security as a reason
not to do something and try replacing it with strength because no matter how bad [ __ ] gets
you can get through it just like you have with everything else in the past this is your life
start living it for you you owe it to yourself to get the most out of your 72.6 years
