Building a Bucketlist Business
Manage episode 410038097 series 2104260
In 2007, I spent six weeks in a hostel in the middle of Guatemala just “because”.
Truly, I’d never felt so free.
The two years prior had been spent working like a donkey, with good people but in a field I hated.
The endgame? Admission to the Supreme Course of Queensland as a lawyer.
It was an accolade I spent 7 years working towards..
Only to quit, 6-weeks to the day later.
And so, there I found myself in a computer shop in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, on a steaming April afternoon checking my emails when my brothers friend messaged us on Facebook.
“Wanna come visit?” – he wrote, “I’m just down the road in Guatemala!”
We looked at each other.
Of course we would. It wasn’t even a QUESTION.
We were free. The world was our oyster. And we could do anything, be anyone, go anywhere!
And so it came to be that I ended up spending the best, most carefree, most FUN 6-weeks of my life living out of a backpack in a dingy hostel dorm room in Antigua.
Acutely aware that I had opted out of life for a little minute, and feeling grateful as heck for it.
Five years later, I started my online business chasing that kind of freedom again.
And on the surface, the promise of it all felt.. intoxicating.
Time freedom – to work when I wanted!
Location freedom – to go back to Central America, or London, or ANYWHERE BUT HERE!
Financial freedom – to make more than a doctors wages working on the goddamn INTERNET!
I wanted it.
The sense of adventure.
The possibility.
The wonder that came from not knowing what would come next.
The Tuesday afternoons spent outside (and not in an air-conditioned cubicle)
ALL OF IT.
