The good thing when you have less than enough, is that you know what to do: going after what you need to get enough of it.

Back to 2016, when I first arrived in Bali and lost everything, all I needed was to find a way to get a roof over my head, and some food in my plate.

Surprisingly, my life back then was fairly simple. Even though it was tough.

“All I want is to find a way to keep living here and filling my basic needs”, I wrote in my notebook back then.

A few months after that, I experienced success with eCommerce and got myself 10,000€/month of salary for a while.

It was more than I have ever got in my life, but every month.

Surprisingly (or not), my life back then was fairly complicated.

Full of doubts and confusions.

When you have more than enough, then you may become scared of losing it.

And when you have nothing, well you have nothing to lose.

During this eCom experience, I didn’t know what I wanted, yet I was spending my days working to make more money.

But what for?

Money is a tool.
Tools are made to build things.

I ended up learning that owning more tools and building nothing with them, made absolutely no sense.

That’s when I switched from being a basic “consumer” to being an “investor”.

Not trying to have more,
but to create more.
