The 9–5 is dead
In 2018 we are incredibly lucky in that its possible to make a living doing just about anything.
Anything you could think of, I would be hugely surprised if you could think of something that someone, somewhere, is not being paid to do.
We have smart phones that possess the same computing power as our most advanced computers of 30 years ago.
We can instantaneously video chat with people the other side of the world.
We have Instagram. (o.k they can’t all be useful).
That being said, the 9–5 is on its way out.
With software eating the world and robots soon to polish off the scraps in the next 10–20 years, the job landscape today is vastly different to what it was even 10 years ago.
The ‘9–5’ is a thing of the past.
Lots of companies still adopt these business hours, but we have remote work forces, people working from home, shared responsibility across jobs and entire business functions offshore.
In 10 years, huge chunks of our retail, hospitality, manufacturing and construction jobs will be gone. But we won’t lose them to immigration, we’ll lose them robots!
How to work from anywhere
There are limitless ways of working from anywhere, depending on how skilled and creative you are.
Here’s one simple way you can sack your boss and work from anywhere:
- Become proficient in a skill (design, development, mobile, marketing, UI)
- Learn inbound marketing and adopt an inbound model to acquire customers
- Build up your business/cashflow over a year
- Get a good laptop
- Move:)
Easy.
There’s actually a huge community of people doing this called Digital Nomads.
They have their own online community and the owner even created this amazing tool called Nomad List.
This super cool platform aggregates and rates all the locations you can live and work in remotely.
The community is comprised of entrepreneurs and digital workers who travel the world moving from freelance project to freelance project.
There’s a slack channel, forum and chat rooms for you to talk to other digital nomads doing the same thing!
Are you currently working remotely and travelling the world? If so I’d love to hear from you.
