Firsthand lessons from Josh Amore

This is out of character for me. The three key reasons for my failure:
I stayed in a 4 star serviced complex (a long-term hotel). The majority of residents were expats.Productivity is difficult, if not impossible, in this environment.
Lesson Learned: Stay in a ‘real’ house or apartment. It’s cheaper and a better space for productivity.
1.
Before leaving, I planned to spend 8 hours a day working from cafes. This didn’t happen. Working like this takes a lot of practice.
This is a common complaint online. I didn’t pay attention to the wisdom of others.
Lesson Learned: Take note of the common issues when researching and keep your assumptions in check.
2.
I gave myself three months to trial the digital nomad lifestyle. This was my biggest mistake.
The trial made my experience feel temporary. It was an internal constraint.
Lesson Learned: Get serious and commit 100% of your time and energy to the long-term goal. No trial periods - dive in.
