The smartest New Year's wish I received so far

I spoke with Marianna Sadecka about the anti-governmental and non-conformist mindset and parallel philosophy in my Liberland in Georgia podcast. Since we made the interview in Tbilisi, Georgia, we also brought Georgia into the international context. We were especially expressing Georgian boldness and courage. The video is freshly out - I wish for insightful listening during your NYE preparations. Looking forward to your feedback. https://lnkd.in/dCe_c8by

2022 with Liberland was a ride 📈 In July I became the representative of Liberland to Georgia. In August I visited Liberland & Serbia (we have Ark, a diaspora village there) and gave a speech at our Floating Man Festival's conference. I met thousands of like-minded non-conformist people. In September I returned to Georgia and started meeting other libertarians in the country. I am still impressed to see how many communities are here! In October, I organized the first meetup at the beginning of the month. In the end, I was shooting the first episodes of the local podcast. 🚀 In November I kept networking and working on the marketing side of the representation. In December, I organized the meetups in Tbilisi, Bangkok, and Phuket. I gave a presentation in the metaverse as well, as the representative of the first metaverse country. Crazy! 😄 I am super grateful for everyone who's part of it. Thank you. It's my honor to share the awareness that things can work differently. I'm all in for individual freedom in the future.🕊 Cannot wait for what awaits all of us. I'm very hopeful about the future. I'm looking forward to all of you in 2023. I wish you all to live at your own (freest) best. All the best and Happy Holidays! I send you some sun and warmth, Sam

📈 3 must-know tips on how to increase your chances to get remote work 👇🏻 1. Educate yourself. I've never learned that much as in the past year. And I am sure that the next year will be even more dynamic. Keep learning, and reshaping your perspective. 2. Talk and write about what you've learned - post it on social media. Share your insights. Tell what you've learned and whether the course is worth it for others. If you don't say what you've learned, no one can get to know it. 3. Network with the recruiters of companies that truly drive your interest. Try to specify where exactly you'd love to work, find the companies that share your values, and then get to know them. In the long term, you wanna work where it works for you :) #remotework for life Photo: Chiang Mai, Thailand. A kind accommodation owner brought me the coconut from the garden :) This life. <3

Why I am socialized despite being a remote worker? 🧐 People who say that remote workers are lonely: * either never tried remote work (at its best); * tried but didn't socialize; * have problems creating active connections. In any of these cases, the problem is not remote work to fix. I realized that there are 2 approaches to creating connections in life: passive (or, reactive) & active. By passive connections, I mean those that just come into our life: we get a job and have our colleagues, we go to school and get classmates. Not much extra effort is needed. You just react to your surroundings. The active approach requires extra effort: You go, start a new hobby, and connect with people who share the same interest; you set up values, live by them, and start meeting like-minded people; you seek like-minded communities - like libertarians; you go to the networking event; or, you even organize a community or event yourself. I have never felt as self-fulfilled and healthily socialized as I do as a remote worker. No matter where I am, I can opt-in for the connections, if I feel like that. And, the voluntary principle of it is what makes it that special and beneficial for the individual. Take care, Sam #remotework for life Photo: Chiang Mai, Thailand; Dec 2022 -- Follow me for more details on how to bring remote work to its best.

Wanna work in the office? Then do. But let others work where they want and they can maximalize their potential. #remotework for life Photo: Exploring the botanical gardens around the globe - my favorite hobby. This one is in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Dec 2022

I wish we got publicly honest about the 'consistency' when it comes to personal branding. 😤 Do you really believe that all the content creators sit in the morning and write the post for you? When you create a lot, you wanna work smart. What does it mean? It's about creating in bulk. You sit back, prepare the posts for social media for the next 2 weeks and schedule them. You can use one of the many tools for scheduling content. This preserves your energy for other processes - you can take videos, prepare a strategy, go meet people in person, create your own product, or just relax. 'Consistency' in content creation means rather scheduling the posts regularly. Otherwise, you can get very easily discouraged by missing one day because of other duties. (Missing a day doesn't matter though :)) I do not think you really want consistency though. You want sustainability. Choose the speed that works for you and alter it as you go to work for YOU. Take care, Sam Photo: Phuket, Thailand ~ #remotework for life :) - I plan to share more realistic tips & insights for personal branding in the close future. Follow me if you wanna reshape the way people see you.

What are the common drawbacks of Remote Work that we don't really speak about? I talk about what sometimes sucks when you go remote and how to resolve it in the live presentation I gave in Chiang Mai. 👇🏻 Let me know your insights and share with your community who may find it insightful. Enjoy! #remotework for life

2 days ago, I had an unexpected call. It was 10 PM my time. I was reading a book before falling asleep. But with the call, I switched my plans. Because of the unplanned changes, I was asked, whether I'd give a presentation in ONE HOUR from the given moment. At first, I thought - well, my boundaries say I don't do last-minute things anymore. But, my driven mindset decided for me. 😈 I accepted the invitation and gave an encouraging presentation in the Metaverse for Arrival • ერაივალ. It was an exciting experience and a great decision! 😊 The aim of my presentation was to: * Encourage people to transit from one industry to another. * Empower women to find their strengths, focus on them, and go where it takes them - especially in the tech area * Motivate people to start speaking up about their successes & knowledge. The presentation will be out soon - follow Arrival • ერაივალ for the updates. I cannot wait for more public feedback!

I celebrate Christmas every day. I do not feel today was anyhow different from my regular days - I woke up and then did things I enjoy: I was active, had great food, treated myself well, went to some special place, visited the beach, drove a scooter, took a nap,... I did not do a single thing that I wouldn't like to do. Maybe I didn't get any special gifts, but I don't need anything - when I want something, I just buy it. I have a specific relationship with things though. For over a year, I only have had things that bring joy, nothing more or less. It's very freeing. When else to buy what I want, than now, be it March, Monday, or winter? The days are the same, disregarding some social conditions that tell us * today is special * for some reason. Yes, there's the lack of dopamine hit from the novelty when you do the 'same cool things' all the time. That's probably the point when I suggest trying out new things, observing, and learning, to understand that the world is not just a fixed paradigm and the possibilities are not what we've been shown so far. I never get bored from both activities or * just being *. I cannot get enough of the everyday. I look at what I live and I am proud, grateful, and happy. It's not only Christmas day (that means for everyone a different day and something else, again, the concept of 'normality' 😃) when I want to wish others good as well. It's every single day I hope people were treating themselves and others well. I wish to see more people in the world who dress up well not for a special occasion, but every day. Who will treat themselves well and put themselves first. I wish we were not postponing life for later, and wouldn't spend time in the places we don't enjoy (if even that much), in case we can be elsewhere (mostly we CAN). I wish more people would get the mindset of turning their life for the better themselves. I wish people were involving the effort, bravery, and responsibility more often. I wish for a more individual freedom mindset in society. And, I hope to be part of the change. I hope to keep inspiring, sharing my thoughts, and encouraging more and more people to aim to be at their better-self, rethink their opportunities and get where they want to be. I want people to realize, they can. . I don't wish you Merry Christmas today. I wish you to treat yourself the way you do on Christmas every day from now on. 🤶🏻🎄 #remotework for life

Why transit into the web3 industry? Should you be scared of the industry transition? What opportunities does it bring? Do women belong to web3? Definitely! I’ve just given a presentation, the last one in 2022, in the metaverse. And, I hope it encourages not only all the women, but everyone out there to understand own superpower, accepting it, speak about it, and sell it at own best. Aim for acceptance and understanding. Be yourself. Don’t prove yourself. Be. The whole recording is to be out soon. Thank you, Arrival • ერაივალ, for the opportunity to participate in the metaverse Girls in Web3 conference. See you all in 2023. 🚀 #web3 #womenintech #industrytransition #remotework

Remote workers don’t work from the beach. Remote workers work from where they please. They don’t need a boss to tell them where they must be tomorrow at 9 AM and what clothing they should wear. They can figure this out themselves. My wish from the Santa 🤶🏻 is the world understood this in 2023. I want to wish everyone to live a life at own best, to be brave and take a full responsibility for oneself. Get self-satisfied and go your way. Happy holidays to everyone. Hi from Phuket ☀️ #remotework for life Your, Sam

Could I live in Chiang Mai, the n 1 digital nomad place in the world? Mmmmmm :D this is difficult. 1/ I really appreciate that despite being here for the 3rd full day, I still haven't seen almost anything (or at least I feel like it). Of course, I travel more as if it was my home, not as if I was a tourist. 2/ I am a bit scared that from the long-term perspective it's too small for me. However, when discussing this with expats who live here for years, they shared that there's still this infrastructure, city vibe, many interesting communities, events, and a huge amount of hobbies to do. It's true, that not even every capital can meet all this. The city has a huge benefit from the number of foreigners (mainly Americans, at least to my current observation). 3/ Overall, there is an amazing balance of nature & the city (and services). There are plenty of waterfalls around, animals, national parks, and places to go to wind off. At the same time, you got a great infrastructure - 24/7 services, restaurants, shops, food, markets, local food. . What I do not like? > Every year, there is the burning season, so the air gets very smoky and unhealthy. (But now it is still very very good.) > No seaside / far from the seaside - but you can take the direct plane to Phuket/Krabi/anywhere from here and be at the very nice seaside in an hour. > I thought the in-city airport is a plus, but it can be very noisy. I think I got used to it, but it's something I definitely noticed at first :) ^ These are definitely things one can work through. I will be back. Photo: Chiang Mai, Thailand

My yesterday's presentation about Remote Work is out. 30 minutes of insights I wish someone had told me earlier. It's more about individual philosophy & freedom than remote work, maybe. But if you master this, you can live & work remotely to the fullest. I speak about: * Downsides of remote work, * Self-fulfillment and its impact, * How to handle homesickness? * What Remote Work really changes and what does not? * Is it ethical to go fully remote / relocate? P.S. My niche is not remote work, but freedom. Slides (I recommend seeing the speakers notes as well, yet the video adds on the value): https://buff.ly/3HOviGw Enjoy 🙂 Time to go for a massage & to the waterfall. Video:

That level of personal branding when someone who knows you from social media greets you at breakfast. 8000 km from your birthplace. Not bad, I'd say :) Hi from Thailand. #personalbranding #remotegirl

My assistant has mandatory time off. Paid. Why? Because I want her to be back at her best. I do not want her tired. I want her to relax and not to be constantly on because of the things that will wait. And also, I do not want her to be anxious about enjoying her time off because of getting less money. You cannot recharge that way. I treat people who work with me the way I want to be treated. She has unlimited holidays, works freely (and remotely of course), and is self-actualizing herself because of enough space to self-express her talents. Once she's done with the tasks for the week at her own pace, she is done. I do not micro-manage her and do not add on new things (she works part-time for me). That's the real environment of today. Be part of the change - do not request your people to work in some obsolete conditions. Happy Holidays.

Tonight at Chiang Mai, I will speak about bringing the Remote Work condition to the next level. Spoiler: Before getting to the next level, you must let something go. See you around! #remotework for life

See you tonight. I'll be speaking about remote work and the many things related to it. . Yes, I will record it and share the YT link afterward :) The slides are still in-making: like ~ Forget your expectations about my presentation. They limit your awareness. You only hear the information you expect. I won’t be giving the manual of how to live or work. I can only show the strategies to see the possibilities, but you must find them yourself anyway. #remotework for life

Daylight. The best benefit of the remote work condition. #remotework for life Photo: Chiang Mai, Thailand, right now

The best book I read this year with my favorite quotes: (I try reading 1 book / week) Ayn Rand - The Virtue of Selfishness To me, this is the best collection of essays covering the topic of individual philosophy. Despite being put together back in the ’60s, it’s more than up-to-date. The first half of the book focuses on the individual in society. The other half covers society and the government. Overall, the book rethinks the concept of ethics, zooms out from the current norms, and explains why you’re not responsible for everyone else and how by accepting full responsibility for yourself, you actually do the best for everyone. I’ve never felt that understood as I did while reading this book. I read the book in less than 2 days and plan to reread the individual part again in the next few days. My favorite quotes in Notion are available here: https://buff.ly/3PrNZSq Bold are my top favorite quotes. My top: “To love is to value. Only a rationally selfish man, a man of self-esteem, is capable of love—because he is the only man capable of holding firm, consistent, uncompromising, unbetrayed values. The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone.”

My laptop is portable! Incredible! It's 2022 and I can take my laptop to... ...the office ...my home ...anywhere! And so this time I took it to Bangkok! #remotework for life And no, the work doesn't have to be done in the office. ❤️ That's the evolution :) See you on Monday in Chiang Mai, #1 digital nomad hub in the world. I will give a speech about how to upgrade your remote cooperation (life).

After having hundreds of unread messages on LinkedIn, I completely ignore the 'hi' and 'how are you' message requests. If you want something from someone who has things to do, ask directly what you want.

:D

Dear companies, I do not want your *brand-new offices* and *coffee machine on the same floor*. I don't drink coffee and I do not like offices. I want to drink Taiwanese iced milk tea in Bangkok, or anything else and anywhere I think of. I want to do my work when I am at my best, not 9 to 6. I want to be ahead of your time zone and have more daylight in my day, not sitting in the office when it's sunny on the street. Dear companies, It's not the future that's remote. It's the present moment. #remotework for life Hi from BKK.

Finding out what works for you 🚀 can only be done by trying out different things. Such a simple principle, yet many people have no clue what they like, or what's their ideal mode of work & life. I suggest trying out: - Trying out different food, combination, and frequency of eating - Trying out falling asleep and waking up at different times - Sleeping less / more - one of the core things I've learned this year (now I sleep 7-8 hours a day) - Sleeping in different conditions - I sleep much better in cold, especially in the nature - Working out early and late - when I work out late, I often have a higher heart rate at night and recover worse. When working out in the morning, I feel energized for the whole day & more focused. - Trying out to work both morning, and evening, and even trying to split the day in two - enjoying the daylight during the day and finishing the rest of the work in the evening. (I recommend not working directly before falling asleep though, because then your brain cannot switch so quickly :) - Meditate (several times a day :D) - New activities! Try everything you can and I am sure you will find many exciting new hobbies. However, you will need to stop worrying about looking like a beginner :) You will be one at first. Sadly, many adults got *too serious* and have a hard time trying out new things. Also, often, we stopped doing some activities because of some irrelevant people who told us we were not 'good enough'. There is no good enough. There is only the joy from the process :) - Different environment - for work: clean, silent, noisy, multi-tasking, focused... for life: different flats / houses, nature / lack of nature / combination, sea/mountains/both, dryer/humid, warm/cold. This can change with time and mood as well :) - Time for yourself - rethink it and do not make time for yourself only on the weekends (or never). My biggest hack past 2 years is doing my things IN THE MORNING. This way I am sure that I am happy, I have time for myself and I finish everything I wanted. A different time zone or a flexible time-work can be your friend. What else would you suggest and what works for you? :) Cheers! Sam

Super excited to be giving a speech tomorrow in Bangkok, Thailand. We will meet with other libertarian supporters of Liberland at 7 PM. Hope to see you around! #liberland #countryrepresentative

Nice

How to deal with a lack of socialization in the office while working remotely? 🤔 4 Solutions you can use today. Working remotely can sometimes feel isolating, especially if you're used to being surrounded by coworkers in an office. But there are ways to overcome the lack of socialization and still feel connected to your team. Here are a few tips for handling the lack of office socialization while working remotely: 1/ Use communication and collaboration tools to stay connected with your team. There are many tools available that can help remote teams stay connected and collaborate effectively. Some examples include Slack, Asana, and Zoom. Use these tools to share updates, ask questions, and work together on projects in real-time. 2/ Schedule regular check-ins with your team. Set aside time each week to meet with your coworkers, either through a video call or by phone. This will give you an opportunity to catch up and discuss any issues or concerns you may have. 3/ Make an effort to socialize outside of work. Just because you're not in an office doesn't mean you can't socialize with your coworkers. If you're comfortable doing so, consider inviting your team members to join you for a virtual happy hour or coffee break. Or, if you're all in the same location, plan a social outing outside of work. 4/ Consider joining a professional networking group or online community. There are many online communities and professional networking groups that can help you connect with other remote workers and exchange ideas and experiences. These can be great places to find support and build connections with others who are in similar situations. Overall, the key to overcoming the lack of office socialization while working remotely is to be proactive and make an effort to stay connected with your team. By using communication tools, scheduling regular check-ins, and finding ways to socialize outside of work, you can maintain strong connections with your coworkers and feel less isolated. #remotework for life Photo: Koh Phangan, Thailand

3 benefits of remote work vs. office work 👇🏻 As more and more companies embrace remote work, it's clear that there are many advantages to this type of arrangement. Here are three reasons why working remotely is better than working in an office: 1/ Increased flexibility. One of the biggest benefits of remote work is the increased flexibility it offers. When you're not tied to a specific location, you can work from wherever is most convenient for you. This could be your home, a coworker's house, a coffee shop, or even a beach in the Caribbean. The ability to work from anywhere can make it easier to manage your work-life balance and allow you to be more productive. 2/ Improved collaboration. Despite the common belief that remote work can be isolating, the opposite is often true. With the right tools and strategies, remote teams can actually be more collaborative than in-office teams. For example, remote workers can use communication and collaboration tools like Slack, Asana, and Zoom to stay connected with their coworkers and work together on projects in real time. 3/ Cost savings. Working remotely can also save you and your company money. Without the need for a physical office space, you can save on rent, utilities, and other overhead costs. And because remote workers are not limited by geography, companies can hire the best talent from anywhere in the world, which can be more cost-effective than hiring locally. Overall, the benefits of remote work are clear: increased flexibility, improved collaboration, and cost savings. If you're considering a remote work arrangement, don't be afraid to take the plunge. It may just be the best decision you ever make. #remotework for life

You say the morning coffee in the office is better than this? Oh… nice try. 🙃 I feel much more energized here though. 👋🏻 Hi from Bangkok, Thailand.

6 months ago, I was scared to upload a series of short videos expressing my ideas. Yet, I did it. And I am glad I exceeded this mental 'limit'. Now? Next week I'll give a speech in the 4th country in those same 6 months :) Since then, I also gave several interviews on the global level (including one US company). (And maybe if I read my LinkedIn messages more often, there would be even more interviews.) #keepgoing <3 Photo: Me on the Serbian beach, Danube river, around Liberland, August 2022

Income doesn't reflect the prices or inflation. Income reflects your worth in the job market. Your worth are your skills and efficiency. People are being laid off. That means that they are not needed anymore where they used to work. Or, their worth doesn't reflect their cost anymore. When laid off, that's a great time to think about own worth. What value are you bringing? And, if the market finds it insufficient, it's time to increase own worth. You can do this by improving your skills or efficiency (it's often related), or increasing your effort on the job market. Also, boosting the awareness of our own worth can be helpful - why should someone else value you more than you value yourself? However, this usually doesn't happen. People often get to the victim position (what a terrible market), expecting to be saved by someone else ('governmental' support). The problem is that society and collective thinking is teaching us we can get 'something for nothing'. There's nothing such as 'free education' or 'governmental support'. They always come at the expense of someone else, involuntarily. Of course, breaking such a habit (it's nothing else than a mind construct) as a society will be very difficult. Lacking the awareness of reality and outsourcing our responsibility to others is a childish position in psychology. And, who wouldn't love to be a kid forever when it's being approved?

👇🏻 5 Reasons Companies should allow their employees to work remotely 👇🏻 As many organizations are adapting to a new way of working after the pandemic, the idea of allowing employees to work remotely is becoming more commonplace. Offering a remote work option can bring numerous advantages to both employers and employees, including increased productivity, improved work/life balance, and cost savings. Here are five reasons why companies should consider allowing their employees to work remotely: 1. Increased Employee Productivity: Research has shown that when employees are allowed to work remotely, they tend to be more productive. Working remotely gives employees the flexibility to create their own schedules and work in an environment where they are most comfortable, enabling them to get more done in less time. 2. Improved Work/Life Balance: Allowing employees to work remotely can provide them with a better work/life balance. Remote work gives employees more control over their work hours, allowing them to adjust their schedules to accommodate personal commitments. This can lead to greater job satisfaction and improved employee morale. 3. Cost Savings: Remote work can also save companies money. By allowing employees to work remotely, companies can save on expenses related to office space, equipment, and other overhead costs. 4. Increased Talent Pool: By offering remote work options, companies can open up their talent pool to a wider range of potential employees. This can be especially beneficial for companies in rural areas or those with limited access to qualified workers. 5. Improved Communication: Remote work can help improve communication between employees, managers, and other stakeholders. Virtual communication tools such as video conferencing and online collaboration platforms can help ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals. In conclusion, remote work can bring numerous benefits to companies, including increased productivity, improved work/life balance, cost savings, increased talent pool, and improved communication. For these reasons, companies should consider allowing their employees to work remotely. #remotework for life

See you in Chiang Mai, Thailand ❤️ 'Don’t work from home - work from the best place for your life.'
