I enjoy being inspired by stories like yours. Ever since I read Tim Ferriss’ 4 Hour Work Week, I’ve tried to work toward financial independence.

It’s sad that something so beneficial requires necessity to ignite passion. I suppose this is due to fact that there are still many of us who are tail-end Baby-boomers that bought into the job security myth. I, for one, jumped off that sinking ship without looking back. I had hoped to encourage a few colleagues to join me, but you know how hard it is to make someone recognize an iceberg in the dark!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Cheers,

Mitch

It is also much more fulfilling when you have the means to give yourself a raise, rather than have someone else give it to you. Knowing that you are solely responsible for increasing your income is a pretty powerful thing.

The internet is such a powerful thing. I’m continually amazed by the things that can be done. I’ve gone all over the world doing the same work – to have that kind of flexibility is incredible.

Where have your travels taken you currently?

His blog really puts a lot of things into perspective for each and everyone of us. I still have yet to take the time though and assemble my bucket list. I guess it all strikes home since yesterday. There was a gas well explosion near where I live on Friday and two guys were killed. My dad called me last night and it turns out one of them was my original taekwondo instructor who helped me get my 1st degree black belt. He was a great guy and took the job less than a year ago to try and make some extra cash. He was 56. So, I’m bummin’ pretty bad today. It’s about all I can think about. He was a good guy.

Brings me full circle to the bucket list. None of us ever knows when it’s our time…and we all just need to live life…as if each day is our last. Live, Love, and Laugh often.

Very inspiring post indeed. I for one love being able to rely on my own efforts to provide for my family rather than have to count on someone else to give me a miserly raise once a year, if I am lucky.

202 Bite-Sized Tips To Insanely Increase Your Blog Traffic

This was an inspirational post. Hopefully people will heed your advice to use the internet to create the lives that they want to live. Or at least use it as a safety net and an outlet for their passion and creativity.

I will have to check out your site to find out more about Manila, Bali and Bangkok. I am currently following my dream and traveling around the world while working because of the freedom the internet entrepreneurial lifestyle affords us.

It is exciting and fun and more than I could ever have dreamed of. I am glad to see that you too are following your dreams and achieving your goals.
