I stumbled upon a blog today when I was reading an article in the Huffington post about people who have decided to leave the rat race and use the internet to do it.
This blog is by a guy called Gustav - The Modern Nomad - and it's an interesting read. Check it out. http://www.themodernnomad.com/
He lives quite an extreme version of The Laptop Lifestyle I guess but the point is that he's able to live live exactly the way he decided to. This is a guy who was living a comfortable 9-5
lifestyle in London working a well paid job in IT.
Basically he just decided one day that he was going to spend the rest of his life in this routine if he didn't do something about it.
I'll let you read the blog for yourself but what this guy does now is pretty extraordinary and judging by the many comments on the blog, there are a lot of people out
there looking to do something similar. (although maybe in a less full-on way)
The point is, like our own Greg and Fiona who are also from a corporate background, but who now travel most of the year, people are using this ability to leverage the internet to their advantage in all sorts of ways.
You may not want to dump all your material possessions and head
off into the wide world with no agenda and no time limit like Gustav but if you did want to, he proves that it's possible to make an online income to finance it.
He's not just having a gap year here - He's made a complete lifestyle change and he can do it indefinitely.
So whereas in the old days of the Dot com boom and bust it really was all about the fast buck, now
it's more about freedom and choice.
Some people just want to earn the same income they already have but don't want to have to commute, work for an idiot, spend time with people they don't like or have no energy left to enjoy the little spare time left to them.
Others want to build a massive multiple 6 or 7 figure online empire and that's fine
too.
It really is about choice and freedom and it really is possible - whatever you want or need to get out of it.
