Here is my story:
I was broke and stuck in the 9-5 Rat Race till I was 33
2020: I quit my job with no backup plan and restarted my life
Main Focus: Self-Improvement and making money online
2023: Best year of my life as a Digital Nomad in the Philippines
I was there for 4 months in playa del Carmen until last week.
The tourist areas are safe for the most part. Some areas need to be avoided for sure.
The city is too Americanized,
too many white liberal women,
many hot different latinas that are p4p or paid for presence unfortunately.
A lot of restaurants with many choices, but overpriced and not the best of the best when it comes to quality.
Fuck this place, I was there for work but will never go back.
Ten bad years can be erased by two focused ones. This is the secret most people never learn. They think because they wasted their 20s or 30s they're doomed. That's complete bullshit. Two years of total focus and discipline can make people forget you ever struggled. Momentum is magical because it compounds. The first 6 months of focus is hard and you see little progress. But then month 7, 8, 9 things start clicking. By year two people are asking you for advice. By year three people forget you were ever broke or lost. The past becomes irrelevant. The next two years will erase the last ten if you actually lock in.
All it takes is 67 days. Just a little more than two months. To make up for 10 years you regret.
67 days of totally focusing. Avoiding distractions. Saying yes to the right things and no to the stupid ones. ๏ฟผ Lock in my friend and watch everything change.
