What’s The Best Way To Escape The Cubicle Life?
You’ve heard all the clichés.
- “YOLO!”
- “Be your own boss!”
- “Just travel and be happy!”
However, you’ll eventually run into something called “the future”.
If you want to live life on your own terms, it’s important to account for certain valuables.
This post will give them to you.
When you get to the end, you’ll have a clear image of what a high-value location independent life looks like.
Let’s start with the mistakes most people make.
Here’s What To Avoid
Here at Mister Infinite, we aspire for more than the bare minimum.
What’s the point in “going international” if you don’t have the means to do it right?
The last thing you want to is to be broke as a joke while getting drunk with other westerners in dingy hostels.
Here’s a selfie of me drinking a beer at a pub in England!
Now here’s a selfie of me drinking a beer in France!
Here’s another one of me in Taiwan!
Boring.
You might as well photoshop yourself onto a bunch of different backgrounds.
It’s a million times better to go international – with style.
What does this mean?
Regular readers are well aware of the value of time.
It’s foolish to waste the most critical decade (your 20’s) chasing some delusional sense of happiness.
“Having fun” can be extremely expensive due to opportunity cost.
You see, everything comes with a trade-off.
All decisions reveal second and third order consequences.
Consistent discipline invites better options.
As you know, location independence comes at a price.
Let’s do a quick run-through some mental models.
- Is your location independent career teaching you valuable skills?
- Are you attaining greater leverage over time?
- Are you increasing your cash flow?
High-Value Location Independence – Defined
A high-value “location independent” lifestyle lets you travel when you want to – not all the time at expense of your overall value.
It’s about living life on your own terms.
You don’t have to wait for your boss to give you the go-ahead.
You can also travel for longer than the standard 2 weeks corporate vacation time.
This is possible with a low threshold of “F-U money”.
How can you attain it?
The idea is to build cash flow while having no office to report to.
(Living efficiently while building leverage).
What high value location independence really means = being liquid.
Where does high-value travel fit into all this?
The main idea is to create your own environment.
- Avoid Commutes
- No Sedentary Lifestyle
- Don’t Work With Losers
This frees up a tremendous amount of energy.
Location independence has you operating out of your own sphere.
It eliminates the above inconveniences and opens a vacuum for growth.
The Solution?
The best long term solution is the hybrid model.
The main idea is to spend most of your time in one city (or two), then traveling when you want to.
With a remote job, you aren’t required to check in at a certain place at a certain time.
This model also accounts for quality of work.
There’s simply no comparison to working in a nice apartment vs. working in a rowdy hostel.
If you’re constantly on the road or in rough environments, your work will suffer.
After all, constant travel wears on you.
The better choice is to switch between lifestyles when it makes sense.
Ultimate location independence is multiple streams of income.
What’s more is you can get started on these investments right away.
Conclusion
You now have a clear understanding of high-value location independence.
- Traveling 24/7 ruins your quality of work and future value.
- Travel is awesome, but it’s also important to account for your long-term growth.
- Don’t follow a road to nowhere at expense of your overall value.
- The hybrid model gives you the best of both worlds.
