People say they want to make a decision. Then immediately ask everyone else what they think. That's not decision-making. That's seeking permission. And you're seeking it from people who will never give it. Because people who haven't done what you want to do can only see risk, not possibility. You tell your family you're thinking about moving abroad. They've never left the state. What advice could they possibly give that helps? They'll list dangers. Remind you of obstacles. Question your judgment. Not because they're cruel. Because they're scared. And scared people give scared advice. When you make a decision by crowdsourcing input, you're not gathering wisdom. You're gathering other people's limitations and calling it research. The people whose opinions actually matter: people who've done what you want to do. Everyone else? Their input is just their fear wearing a "being realistic" costume. You can't make a decision while managing other people's anxiety about your decision. Those are incompatible goals. Decision-making requires: clarity about what you want, assessment of what's required, commitment to act despite discomfort. Permission-seeking requires: announcing incomplete plans, absorbing other people's fears, abandoning your goal to maintain approval. Pick one. If you need permission, you're not making a decision. You're waiting for external validation that never comes from people whose lives you don't want. Make a decision. Execute in silence. Announce from your new location. Stop asking. Start doing. Link in bio when you're ready to make decisions instead of collecting reasons not to. ๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive

People often ask me what my friends and families' opinions were about my decision to move abroad. And the reality is, I don't really know what a lot of their opinions were about this because I didn't ask for anyone's permission. I didn't go soliciting advice as I was going through the logistical process of figuring out how to move my family abroad. I simply told them what was happening after I had already made the decision. Once I had made the decision and already had things in place and the ball was rolling, it wasn't really space or room in that conversation for them to offer their opinions about what it was that I was doing because I wasn't asking. I was simply telling people what I was doing. And I think that's the difference between what I did and what so many other people do. Other people put it out there for the world to offer their advice and opinions. I'm thinking about moving abroad, hey, we're considering doing this, and that opens up a door for unsolicited advice from people who have never done anything with their life. I never gave that opportunity, so I'm not really sure what they thought about it. Once I told them what was happening, I definitely know that there were some grumbles of, oh, many concerns, ooh, is that the right move for your kids, ooh, education. And those things were all just quickly squashed because I had answers for all of those things. I was far enough in the process that I knew what to expect with the move abroad, but I didn't oversell it. I didn't try to say this was going to be the perfect situation, the best solution ever for my family. I didn't try to pitch it. I wasn't trying to convince them that this is the right move. I just simply said, this is what we're going to go try. So while there are very supportive families out there who just cheer you on and want you to do whatever it is that you want to do, my general advice tends to be to move in silence. Don't tell people your plans until they are no longer plans, until it is a decision, until you are announcing this is my decision, so that there isn't that room for the negative feedback that will potentially deter you from doing what it is that you want to do. I think one of the major reasons why people love to hire me is because it gives them someone to confide in that will be nothing but a cheerleader that will advocate for all sorts of different options for their family without trying to tell them that they should just suffer in the United States. I will just open up a global option sheet and say here are 217 options, let's pick the best one for you. And that gives them somebody who you know is in your corner and will help you with the mental process of figuring out how this works without judgment.

If picking a new country was as easy as comparing crime statistics and educational outcomes, than obviously that country would be overrun with expats. The best countries to move to are not one size fits all. Before you get your hopes up about any particular country, I suggest you take a step back. Determine your visa eligibility first. Some countries are trying to attract retirees. Other countries are welcoming digital nomads. And there are countries only looking for wealthy expats.

The life you've built in America isn't the life you wanted. It's the life you could scrape together under constraints of: wages that don't cover basics, healthcare tied to employment, housing costs consuming half your income, constant financial stress, survival mode as default state. You didn't choose misery. You chose best option available within impossible constraints. But those constraints are geographic. Change geography, change constraints, change what's possible. The apartment you can barely afford in America becomes the nice place with breathing room abroad. The paycheck that barely covers survival in America becomes the income that allows saving abroad. The constant stress about one emergency destroying you financially becomes manageable situation where emergencies are expensive but not catastrophic. Same income. Same skills. Same person. Different location. Completely different life. You're not stuck because you lack resources. You're stuck because resources you have don't work in location you're in. Move those resources to location where they work better, and you're not stuck anymore. But moving requires: tolerating uncertainty about how things will work out, being uncomfortable while figuring out new systems, releasing familiar patterns even when familiar is miserable, trusting you can build better life from scratch. Most people choose familiar misery over unfamiliar uncertainty. Devil you know feels safer than devil you don't, even when devil you know is grinding you down. This is why people stay in: jobs they hate, relationships that don't work, locations that don't serve them, lives that feel like slow suffocation. Because at least they know how to survive current misery. Unknown is terrifying even when unknown might be better. But what if you're not choosing between misery and uncertainty? What if you're choosing between: familiar misery that will continue indefinitely, or temporary uncertainty that leads to actually building life you want? When you're in survival mode, you're making choices based on: what's cheapest, what's fastest, what gets you through next month, what keeps crisis at bay. Not what you actually want. What you can manage given constraints. Those choices compound into life that doesn't reflect your preferences. Reflects what you could piece together while drowning. But when you move somewhere your income works better, you're not in survival mode anymore. You have breathing room to choose based on: what you actually want, what serves your family, what creates life you're proud of. That's not small difference. That's the difference between life you're enduring and life you're choosing. Living in America isn't default you're stuck with. It's choice you're making every day by not choosing differently. And choosing differently is available to you. Link in bio for people ready to choose. What would you choose if survival wasn't consuming all your energy? ๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
