One of the reasons I moved back to Europe is because of her.

Can you imagine it took me a year to plan my move to Guatemala, only to return 2.5 months later after saying goodbye to my friends and family?

Truth is, my plans gradually started shifting after I met Elena Sabatucci.

Plus, it's cool cause Italy shares many similarities with Latin America :)

No alternative text description for this image

This picture was taken on October 29, 2022.

I didn't realize it at the time, but I wasn’t doing so well mentally and emotionally.

I had just moved to Lausanne, splurging on furniture and a flat-screen TV for my new apartment - my second one in just a few months.

Two weeks after the picture was taken, my doctor suspended me from work because I was beginning to lose my mind.

Shortly after, I fell victim to a pig butchering scam, investing in what I believed was the next-big-thing in crypto. I lost all my crypto savings, worth around $5,000.

A couple of weeks later, my tax declaration arrived. It was my first year working full-time almost the entire year. On paper, it was the year I earned the most money. In reality, it was also the year I spent most recklessly, enjoying the perks of a high salary. I had completely forgotten to set aside money for taxes. Now, on the brink of quitting my job, I was wondering how the hell was I going to pay my bills in the coming months.

This period was one of the darkest moments in my life.

It taught me to handle money with much more care. But more importantly, to empathize with those who lose control of circumstances around their lives and find themselves alienated by society, much like the Joker.

🌟 5 Reasons I Became a Freelancer 🌟

𝟭. 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 🕓
As a freelancer, I have the freedom to manage my own schedule. I can attend doctor's appointments, get massages, or go to conferences without worrying about office politics :) I work when it suits me, even on weekends.

𝟮. 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗼𝗯𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 🤸🏻
Freelancing allows me to dedicate time to family and friends, but also to pursue hobbies such as sports, music and yoga. It gives me space to follow my spiritual journey too, something I rarely had time for in a traditional job setting.

𝟯. 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 🍎
Inspired by Robert Greene’s book 48 Laws of Power, I find it easier to cultivate respect and higher quality relationships when you can make your presence scarce. People respect you more when you’re not always around. 🤷🏻‍♂️

𝟰. 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 🌈
Now whenever a friend or connection seek help, I have the capacity to find time to help them, even if it means that I have to schedule them after other commitments. Remaining open to helping people out and open to diverse opportunities not only keeps my mind open, but also makes my work more exciting and more fulfilling.

𝟱. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝘆 𝗢𝘄𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 🛣️
Freelancing gives me the autonomy to learn what I want, when I want. I’ve been able to brush up my coding skills with courses in R and Javascript, but also learn new skills in sales, e-commerce, chatbots and GenAI. I can tailor my learning path to my interests and goals, continually evolving and growing. ✨

#Freelancing #CareerFreedom #WorkLifeBalance #PersonalGrowth #DiverseProjects #SelfDevelopment

I started freelancing around the same time I began learning to play the guitar.

Lately, whenever work frustrations arise, I head to a park with my guitar to cool off.

This reminds me that freelancing, much like learning the guitar, requires time, dedication, and patience.

I still have much to learn to reach the level I envision in both fields, but I am proud of the progress achieved so far.

Learning any craft takes time.

The key is to keep practicing, keep pushing forward, and trust the process. 🎸

#Freelancing #LearningJourney #Patience #SkillDevelopment

Do you ever feel like you're doing something wrong, but you just can't help it because it feels like it's part of who you are?

Or because you feel like things are the way they are and there’s nothing you can do about it.

It's a terrible feeling, but change is possible.

It just takes tremendous effort and dedication.

Connect with the higher powers that govern our universe, they will show you a way.

If you can imagine it, it is already happening.

Let’s give this a try.

Guillaume Moubeche just challenged me on a 1-month journaling contest.

I’m going to journal all my business problems for 1 month, to come up with the best idea/solution for a startup.

This will be fun ✌🏼

Starting a startup very often is about focus and not splurging on everything. Focus. 

🎯 Focus is key.

We’re playing the long run. It’s a marathon not a sprint

We're here for the long haul, not just a quick win. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. 🎻

Cassons les barrières Européennes.

L’Europe a besoin :
• d’un système de transport unique. 🚅
• d’un système de livraison unique (une seule poste s’occupant de toute la livraison en Europe). 📯

Imaginez simplement le potentiel. 🌟

Le business fleurit, et bien sûr moins d’émissions CO2 grâce aux avancées technologiques.

Tout le monde gagne, même la planète.
