šŸ”Why I left from Japan/Turkey?

One of the most common questions Iā€™mis why I moved out of my home country (Japan/Turkey). The reason is clear: I have no particular reason to stay. Iā€™m not married, I donā€™t have kids, and I have a business, which allows me time, location, and financial freedom. I can go and work wherever, and however I want. So why would I stay in the same place?

Many people stay in their hometowns simply because their parents are from there. But the world is changing, and you donā€™t have to live in the same city, state, or country where you were born. Of course, Iā€™m not saying this to people who donā€™t have the chance to move abroad due to weak passports, political issues, health issues, etc. Thatā€™s totally understandable.

Iā€™m talking to people who can move but choose to stay in their comfort zone.

Living abroad, or even in a different city, apart from family and friends, can be life-changing. You get to spend a lot of time with yourself and have no other option but to face your issues. You get to know yourself really well. Iā€™ve lived alone for almost a year now and canā€™t believe how far Iā€™ve come. At first, getting used to a completely different environment was difficult, and my mental state wasnā€™t stable. I had many mental breakdowns, and it was pretty tricky for me to get back on track.

But because of this experience, Iā€™ve learned to take care of my mental and physical health. Iā€™ve consistently hit the gym for the past eight months and never felt so stable. Looking back at my videos from a year ago, I wish I had started working out and caring for my health sooner. I could have been happier, less stressed, and more successful. But hey, at least I got back on track now. :)

šŸŒŸ Book Highlights: Nomad Capitalist: Reclaim Your Freedom with Offshore Companies, Dual Citizenship, Foreign Banks, and Overseas Investments

This week, I wanted to share some insights from a book Iā€™ve been reading called ā€œNomad Capitalistā€ by Andrew Henderson. This eye-opening book has helped me learn more about taxes, running companies, and other entrepreneurial topics. Iā€™m making over 15k+/month and expecting to surpass the 300k/year mark by the end of the year. The more money you make, the more you realize how heavy the taxes can become if you donā€™t know how to write them off legally. The school teaches nothing about taxes, running companies, being your boss, etc., and taxes can become very complicated. Luckily, our generation can access books, podcasts, and youtube videos to educate ourselves. If youā€™re also a business owner and want to reduce your taxes legally, I would recommend checking the book out :)

Besides that, I want to share a couple of highlights from the book that can be helpful for anyone.

Go where youā€™re treated the best. Most people stay in one place by default. When you think about it, though, there is no rule stating that they must stay there; the rule is only in our minds. Thatā€™s why I left.

You donā€™t necessarily have to pack your bags to ā€œgo where youā€™re treated bestā€. Your hometown could very well be the right place for you. But is should be something you allow to be chosen for you as ā€œthe thing to doā€. Most people never vonsider which place actually serves their needs. Instead they simply accept the default mode set for them.

šŸŒ Language Course Update

If you're not aware, I recently launched my first online course, "How to Learn Any Language - Language Learning 101."

I intentionally didn't upload a video about it on YouTube because I wanted to hear your feedback before making a major announcement. I've taken multiple online courses myself and noticed that most people don't stick to them when they're too long. So, I made my course short and digestible to ensure people actually finished it. However, some students have expressed interest in a longer, more detailed course, which I totally understand.

Therefore, I've decided to add 18 additional lessons to the course without changing the price. I've already filmed six of them; the first six bonus lessons will be added to the course by next week! In 2-3 weeks, I'll add all the additional lessons. Stay tunedšŸ˜„

šŸ“ŗ This Week's Video: There is no video for this week, but I have two upcoming videos for the next week šŸ‘€

Wishing you a fantastic week ahead from Rome! šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹

Ciao for now!

Your favorite Japanese gal,
