Living the simple life. There’s a lot to be said for it.

Creating your own “Lifestyle” business, either online or offline, can be one route to living a simpler, more relaxed way of life. So can changing your current job for a different one that suits you better and is maybe less stressful.

Whatever you choose to do as an escape route to living your own version of a simpler, happier way of life, you sooner or later learn that it is NOT all about the money.

I’ve done the big house in the woods, the Mercedes sports car, the yacht etc.

But you know what? Those were NOT the things that truly mattered in my life. It took me way too long to understand that.

What mattered really for me was living a more relaxed life with very little stress and with me choosing what I wanted to do for a living and when I want to work and so on.

I now live a much more peaceful, relaxed and free way of life.

Because I designed it that way.

I live in an apartment now, (not a big house with rooms I never use), overlooking the sea, on a tiny island, (because I love islands), and despite what you might think, it doesn’t actually cost a fortune either.
