Post-pandemic Principle #1: Be mindful and unafraid to think differently

Jul 01, 2023

The past few years have opened up unprecedented opportunities to work remotely, live and earn overseas as a digital nomad, or to live on your own terms as your own boss. 

In this new mini-series, I discuss the 8 key principles for post-pandemic prosperity and embracing the opportunities that have arisen to the full. 

Thinking outside the box

A willingness to think differently is an important part of being able to live a fulfilling and successful life.

It stands to reason that if you do what everyone else does you'll most likely get similar results (and if you do what you've always done, you'll probably get what you've always got).

Without realising it there are many assumptions we make about the world based upon the education that we got in school, from teachers, parents, middle-managers at work, or other peers and mentors. 

It's actually both amusing and alarming looking back - essentially everything I learned about finance up until reaching adulthood I learned from people without any financial background or qualifications at all. 

While much of the advice you receive is well-meaning, it's often focused on the lowest risk approaches to your career, personal finances, and life...which may not be appropriate for what you want to achieve. 

So many people assume that their income is determined by their employer or the market rate, and that there's only one way to live progress through a career, up to the traditional retirement at the age of 65 or 67. 

But where did these narratives come from?

Are they necessarily true?

Of course not!

The government or your employer don't have to determine how you live your life. You do!

Finding millionaire mentors - upgrading your network

There's no doubt in my mind that, whether directly or indirectly, your network determines your net worth.

After all, we can't help but mirror the behaviours, beliefs, and ultimately the results of the people we spend the most time with. 

If you're surrounding yourself with people that aren't achieving the goals you want to achieve then unfortunately that's not going to help your cause; and in realty it will most likely hold you back. 

Can you out of your comfort zone, and be open to seeking out new information sources and a stronger financial education, based on real-world experience?

Because then you can take control of your own financial future, as we'll explore further in post-pandemic principles 2 to 8.

I discussed this a little further in this short video here.
