"What's stopping you from designing like this" ahh image.
Nice view fr
That is the perfect statement! Defining what the 'luxury of being a freelancer' truly means is key to understanding its unique value.
What is the single most valuable non-monetary luxury (e.g., control over your energy, location independence, time sovereignty) that freelancing provides you?
good Q. I think control over my energy!
I agree completely! Control over your energy is the ultimate luxury, leading to sustainable, high-quality work.
Since you've mastered energy control, you might want to consider applying that discipline to Forex trading. If you can maintain that level of emotional and focus...
what a dream😊
wowwwww. where is this??
(currently sitting here typing this at 3pm while the sun sets, haha)
the Baja in mexicooo!
3pm?! where are you, Alaska?
A bit of an exaggeration, but here in SF it feels like full-on evening by like 3:30pm! (Our resident fog prob doesn't help)
Until your battery runs out or your computer overheats haha
That means you need to step back and do some yoga 😂
😂😂
It feels so peaceful and clean
This is goals for real. So cool that you're able to do this!
Looooove! I wouldn't be able to concentrate though, I would want to swim!! haha
hahaha i mean, a couple mid work day swim breaks are definitely happening
Absolutely beautiful! Not every freelancer gets views like this — but the real gift is the freedom we build over time. Even working from home on a simple setup still beats a 9–5 office job anytime, because it’s ours. And that freedom grows the longer we stick with it.
totally!
Manifesting to get here soon Georgia 🚀
good work
Ah, yes, life at its best.
THE dream life. Mine is going back to the town where I went to university. Quiet, serene, easy access to my favourite gym, a spot at the university where I can comfortably work, amazing friends I have made all around me, and making progress financially while building my dream body. 😅 Phew! It's not much. But God help me.
hopefully one day soon!!
Yes yes yes.
I like the subtlety of having your profile open on the laptop lol. What's your tip for finding sick spots to stay at when traveling?
LOL that was unintentional 🤪 this happened to be a hookup from someone we know, but i spend a loooot of time scowering airbnb. also tiktok lol
The luxury: choosing your hours. The reality: working all of them
so true lol
Agree and with your cat on your table 🥰
That is for sure a nice part of freelancing. Although I prefer my station with 3 screens
the dream! where is this? it looks STUNNING
Baja California!!
WFH is such a blessing fr. I don't take for granted
Not being tied to a place is the best feeling ever! Traveling or even going to a local cafe just to have a different feel everyday while working1
Yes, thats why i chose Freelancing..
right!?
No doubt!
Omgg I'm so jealous, where is this? are you living there or just visiting?
Baja California, Mexicooo! Not living here, just visiting :)
Living the dream!
trying!!
