subject: Giving People Back The Rite To Choose [print this page] The New Way To Work has really been a conscious and definite decision by us to start living the life now that people generally wait until they are too old or tired to really enjoy. We liked the concept of enjoying mini retirements and decided to take it one step further and really live life to its fullest now.
We both agreed that this instant was the only moment that you can count on. We knew that if we wanted the things we wanted in life there was no better time to get them then right now.
The silly thing is that we had known for years that we wanted to live where people travel to for vacations. These exotic places hold some of the most beautiful scenery and people in the entire world and are some of the cheapest places in the world to live.
So we did it. We jumped online to determine how we could survive on our travels, we stumbled upon Elance and quickly learned the magic of outsourcing and we built a successful business around this.
A little under 1 year from its inception our online business built on the backs of a team of international workers found through Elance has meant that we are living the life we wanted right now. We are achieving the things we wanted in life right this moment and living life the way we choose.
As I write this we are sitting on a wide open deck under the Thai sun enjoying the magnificent views of the turquoise blue ocean below. We are in a small island in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Thailand called Koh Phangan. We have just finished a delicious Thai lunch and have been sipping cocktails for the past 2 hours while we chat and work freely on our laptops using the free WIFI set up from the restaurant. Our lunch and cocktails cost us less that the cost of one large meal deal at Macdonalds!
We wake up whenever we wake up. We sleep when we are tired. We swim constantly. We have the best views in the world, the cheapest accommodation, food and living expenses and yet so much of the best this world has to offer all for a fraction of the cost of surviving in the rat race back home. The funny thing about this is that while we work on our laptops and sip the cocktails with these brilliant views we are actually achieving more that we ever achieved back home. We work less, achieve more, earn more and spend less to survive.
This is all possible because of The New Way To Work. Places like Elance make this new way of life a reality.
Its pretty simple The New Way To Work provides a simple thing that everybody yearns for. Freedom from the constraints of an antiquated view of how we should work and live. It provides us choice to work when we want, how we want and for the reasons that matter most to us like family and friends.
