The hidden benefit of working remotely
This hidden benefit to working remotely supercharged my business:
The community âī
The coolest part of this lifestyle isn't beach views or cheap coffee.
(I meannn, they're a bonus ðĪŠ).
âĻ It's being surrounded by people who just ðððĐ it. âĻ
It's motivational as F*CK.
Take Hannah, we met on Linkedin when we were both in Da Nang in April. All it took was one message, and that same day we were already chatting over drinks ðĨ
Since then we've:
â Motivated each other in the gym.
â Kept each other accountable for our goals.
â Inspired the other to start that fun side project.
â Encouraged each other in difficult times (both work and life related).
Now we've finally met again for 3 weeks of co-working, gym and exploring in Krabi ðïļ
So if you feel like the outsider among your peers, just know there's a whole world out there filled with people who will meet you exactly where you're at.
ð People are so open, making new friends is actually easy.
ð Everyone gives advice from a positive place.
ð People genuinely want to see you win.
Every digital nomad hotspot has an incredible community where everyone's chasing big dreams.
Back home, I was 'the friend with the silly startup idea.'
Here in Asia? I'm just... normal. âĻ
