I am in the process of getting rid of a lot of things I own and I am finding it difficult. Some stuff are easy to get rid of, but others...idk. I've done this before. Three years ago I moved from a 3 and a half to a studio apartment. So I don't have that much, but still, i am not sure why I find it hard right now. I really envy people who travel light. I really like the idea of minimalism, but I think there is some psychological clean up to do as well. Anyone went through this? how did you get rid of most of your stuff? Did you keep it to a minimum after or did you re-collect stuff in your new place?

Hello everyone. I just joined the group and wondered what everyone's favorite travel hack is? When I rent cars I have really benefited from using autoslash to get the best prices.. Anyone else use it?

Hey everyone, My name is Richard and while I've been signed up a few months now, I've never really engaged much. I'm 37 and (currently) work remotely from Thailand as a software engineer. However I found out that after my current project is complete, my employer doesn’t have any more work for me. I always knew this day might come, I've just been pretty comfortable and not taken any action to change since it was a great gig honestly. Many of my friends in the past said I was ‘living the dream’, working on my laptop in Thailand. And honestly I felt that I was, and I have been very fortunate to be able to support myself. This isn't just some random employer either; I actually know these people personally and from university. So, this really can happen to anyone no matter how secure your current position is. Things out of my control have happened and It’s a reminder that relying on others for income is always a risk. I have about a month or so to finish up my current project and then move on. What I move on to, though, is unclear right now. Thankfully though I do have some savings, so I don't need to make any rushed decisions. Right now, every idea for making money online is popping up and grabbing my attention. Do I Look for a new job? Do I use my software engineering skills to build something that could make me money or at least add projects to my CV if I stay in this field? Compete on Upwork? Is now the time I finally try Amazon FBA? Should I start a Shopify/print-on-demand business? What about these new YouTube faceless AI channels? Or maybe I should create some kind of digital product? I've also signed up for Remote Income Academy and completed two weeks, but I’ve been too busy with work to continue. New day new idea... I think this is what they call shiny object syndrome. If I stick with being a software engineer, I'd have to prepare for interviews, probably upskill more, do portfolio projects, etc., just to get an interview. Then there's the stress on top with interviews etc. And the reality is that after all that effort, I could just end up in the same position again. While I do enjoy building software and problem solving, and earning a living from my laptop is fantastic, I’m often just quite drained from staring at code for hours every day and It’s hard to shut off my mind…

I'm exploring how the 'Nomad' in Nomad School resonates with what you're seeking to achieve and learn. Your journey, goals, and how I can better support them matter to me. Does the nomadic lifestyle aspect inspire you, or are you seeking primarily the skills and community we offer, regardless of the location independence? Your detailed feedback is invaluable – feel free to elaborate in the comments!

Been thinking about this a lot lately... Are you banking on the process or banking on the results? If you're constantly jumping from one "million-dollar idea" to the next, or abandoning projects as soon as they get tough, I've got news for you... You're doing it wrong. Here's the hard truth: Those who fixate on results rarely achieve them. You know who does? The ones who show up every day, whether they feel like it or not. The ones who've made their purpose and mission so ingrained that to them it's like breathing. Steve Jobs said it best: "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards." He meant that success isn't a straight line. It's messy, it's daily, and it's often invisible until it isn't. If you're stuck, it's not because you're not talented. It's because you may not be committed to the process. Instead, you're probably committed to the result. Want to actually get somewhere? Do the work that doesn't immediately pay off. Because when you truly live and breathe your mission, something crazy happens. You wake up one day and realise that you've blown past your original goals without even noticing. And what once seemed impossible becomes your new normal.
