This is the last article in this series, 9 Ways to Make Your Job Location Independent. In previous articles we looked at ways you could make your current job nomad-friendly. For most people, at least one of those ideas will be viable. But for a few people, there just might not be a way to mobilize your job, no matter how hard you try.
What’s the solution for those people?
Here’s one idea. Mobilize your other job instead.
You know, your other job. The one you don’t think of as a job. The one you don’t get paid for. The one you love even more than your day job.
If you don’t do what you really love because it doesn’t earn enough money, and you don’t travel because you can’t do your job from anywhere, it’s kind of a catch-22, isn’t it?
Sometimes it’s actually easier to make money doing something nomadically than it would be to do it from an office.
Why not see if you can make money nomadically doing the thing you love – even if it means quitting your “real” job?
Think about it. Is there anything you spend nearly as much time and energy on as you do working? Do you have a passion that defines your leisure hours?
How can you turn your passion into a job…and how can you do that job from anywhere in the world?
Let me know what you come up with.
I want to help you find your calm center and experience travel with courage, curiosity and compassion.
