Replying to @alittlestitious3 Trying is word people use when they want credit for intention without accountability for execution. You don't try to order passport. You order it or you don't. You don't try to research visa programs. You identify which ones match your income type or you continue scrolling content about countries without ever determining if you qualify for any of them. You don't try to build remote income. You pitch clients, get rejected, adjust approach, pitch more clients, land one, do the work, get paid - or you research business ideas indefinitely without ever offering services to anyone. Trying is perpetual state that requires no evidence of forward motion. Doing requires demonstrable progress or honest acknowledgment that you're not actually doing it. Year of trying with zero progress means one of two things: you're attempting strategy that doesn't work and refusing to adjust, or you're not attempting anything and calling the research phase "trying." Most people in year of trying are in second category. They're consuming information, thinking about options, feeling like they're working on it because they're mentally engaged with concept. But mental engagement isn't execution. If you've been "trying" to move abroad for year and you're not abroad or actively in visa application process with approval pending, you haven't been trying. You've been thinking about trying. Different activity. What does actual trying look like? Ordered documents that take months to get. Applied for visa and waiting on approval. Building remote income that's at $1,500/month working toward $3,000. Saving specific amount monthly toward relocation fund. Narrowed countries from 100+ options to 3-5 you actually qualify for and are choosing between. Those are concrete demonstrable actions showing forward motion. "I've been researching" for year straight with nothing to show for it isn't trying. It's avoidance disguised as preparation. The universe isn't keeping you stuck. You're keeping you stuck. And saying "I go willingly, universe" like you're passenger in your own life waiting for external force to relocate you is аbdicating responsibility for decisions and actions that are entirely within your control. Universe doesn't move you abroad. You decide to move abroad, then you do things that result in moving abroad. Passport application, visa application, income documentation, plane ticket purchase, relocation execution. None of those require universe's permission. They require your decision followed by your action. Link in bio for people ready to stop trying and start doing. What have you actually done in your year of "trying"? 🆘🇺🇸

A very large portion of the comments that I receive on my videos are people telling me how they are trying to leave the United States, and this person is saying they have been trying to leave the United States for a year. And like my daughters would say, be so for real. What have you been trying for a year that has been not successful? Because trying looks very different in other people's eyes, apparently, than it does for me. Because trying is ordering documents, applying for an actual visa to a country and waiting for their response. That's trying to move abroad. But in the absence of doing that, I really want to understand what people are trying to do. Because blindly applying to jobs overseas is not trying. That is not trying to move abroad. If you're trying to move abroad, you would take things into your own hands. You would create an income stream that would allow you to apply for 95 different remote income visas on your own accord, not having a job sponsorship. You would create passive income streams so that you could apply for one of the 54 different passive income visas that you could apply for independently. That would be anything from creating songs so that you can get royalties, writing books so you can get royalties, creating rental income based on not even owning real estate. Do it through arbitrage or do it through being a co-host for an Airbnb listing or creating a property management company do something to create passive income in order to qualify for those visas. But that's trying. I am very disconnected from this idea of trying that a year in the making hasn't made any progress. So please enlighten me. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you are trying to create remote income streams or you are trying to create passive income streams and you have applied for a visa and you are waiting. Maybe I'm confused, but I would love it if people would stop pretending that trying is putting the ball in other people's court, making the decision on other people's terms. It should be you in control of what's happening with you and your life and you can absolutely be in control by doing one of the things in your control to get yourself abroad. This is a point of reference, my family decided to move abroad in September of 2020. We were in a resort in Arizona, watching a YouTube video, it popped up. I said, I want to move there to Dominican Republic, a country I had never been to. And in under two months, my family of four was on that island living there, having my kids in school in another country. That's all it took, so that was our trying. We booked a flight, we packed up our crap and we left. So that's trying in the terms that it's going to get you out of the United States. Anything else is just performative. It's just waiting for the dopamine hits because they feel good, but not actually taking messy action that's going to get results. Sorry if I sound harsh, but the vast majority of people who contact me act like they're doing so much when they're doing nothing at all. And all I want for Americans is to get them out if that's what they desire, but it does take the right actions in order to do that.

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. Your income type and amount will determine what countries will take you. Schedule your exit plan call if you’re ready to stop daydreaming and start packing. #creatorsearchinsights

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? 🆘🇺🇸
