That's actually interesting because the question becomes what does it mean to work hard. Is it about the hours? If so, are cooks at McDonalds and doctors working just as hard if they both work 12 hours? Seems a little far-fetched to me. How do we quantify work - is it based upon output? Does that mean a tech developer on the beach building a $1M A.I start-up is doing harder work than a construction worker? Even if there is a huge difference in the results generated? What about all the hours throughout the day where all I'm thinking about is my business, growth opportunities, ideas to make our customers' lives easier, ways I can improve efficiency, etc etc? I'm definitely not getting paid to do that directly, so it's not "'working hard". But what if these changes yield a doubling of our revenue - then was it hard work? I'm not sure. I think it's a matter of perspective. I've done 2-hour days. I've done 12-hour days. I've worked from the beach. I've worked in the back of a grocery store for minimum wage. I've done the "hard work" you're thinking of and yes, I'm working borderline part-time hours lol. The bottom line is hard work is required in order to have the freedom I have now. I wouldn't be here otherwise. So when I talk about working hard, I'm reflecting and sharing the things that got me here so others can do the same (not what I'm doing now). Because to me nowadays, time and work are not related. If I wake up and all I do for the day is close a $10,000+ deal on a 1-hour call, then to me that's a win. Maybe it's coping. Maybe I don't work hard haha. But I'd choose that over losing my time, location and financial freedom just so I can say I "work hard". Thanks for leaving your thoughts!
Ah, how not to love "digital nomad" gringos chilling in Palermo, making rent even more expensive? I truly love this new wave of international gentrification!
@@shawnamigo4603 I know, neither can the average first worlder middle class when swarmed by immigrants. Such are our times. But I won't go celebrating it.
@@MG-kt1ck Well at least these types of nomads spend their money in third world countries, therefor supporting the economy. I definitely celebrate that. The type you are referring too are often funded by the government (fully or less, depending on the country) and are not contributing to the economy at all, instead they are taking from it. I don't see how you are able to compare those two?
@@shawnamigo4603 You seem to not be aware of what you're talking about. I'll leave it to you to do some research. Gringos like this guy may look like they're "good gringos" but they're the same shit. Buying facturas and overpriced coffee isn't "supporting the economy". Read a bit and learn about what's going on.
Love the content dude! I’m

I find it entertaining how he is working less than 4 hours per day yet talks about working hard. Man you are working part time
