Take the test to see if you are ready to become a digital nomad!
If you’re starting out, there are steps you can take to reveal whether becoming a digital nomad can work for you!
Book a flight to a different town within your country.
Get an Airbnb or hotel, pack your life into one carry-on and one luggage, and try living out of it for 2 weeks or a month.
Assess the pros and cons for yourself. Is the remote lifestyle truly for you?
Chris Backe offers step by step instructions to help you transition into a fully paid digital nomad in his book, “Becoming a Digital Nomad.”
You’ll learn:
- How to make a name for yourself through consistency
- Hack the 90 day visa by “ping ponging” back and forth western and Eastern Europe (Schengen Area)
- 8 Steps to Going Remote:
- 1. Focus on knowing what you want, understanding the person you are
- 2. Knowing your limitation
- 3. Making money
- 4. Get affairs in order
- 5. Gear up and slim down
- 6. Move and settle in
- 7. Enjoying your new life
- 8. Coming home
- Emotional Baggage follows you no matter where you move to
- You can’t change the system, but you also don’t have to be apart of it
- Which do you prefer…?:
- Living a life where you know exactly what to do, day in and day out. Everything you do builds up other people’s business?
- Or go take up the challenges and build your own business? (I know which one I’d rather have)
