This is such a great article because it takes an existing genre (Lifestyle coach) and actually does what they're meant to be doing. There are all those people on social media who spend their entire time performatively having a good time in order to sell you material about how you too could live like a king whilst doing nothing (with the advice actually being worthless, because their true revenue stream is to sell you worthless advice and by definition, they can't advise you that you too should be selling worthless advice - what you really need is passive income).
At the end of the day, this seems like a great lifestyle for some people. But I'd soon miss my family, I'd soon be worried about which school I want to send my kids to etc. etc. Also, maybe I'm not in the same industry as this guy, but I would find it very difficult to pick back up if I went off traveling for months between gigs.
Oh also one thing I feel like I should always bring up - a really confounding problem to this advice is the pre-requisite is "actually be good at something". It's like when Gordon Ramsay walks in to a shit restaurant and tears them to peices about all the reasons it's failing, and you want the owners to turn around and say "Of course we're not as successful as you, we're not world-renowned multiple michelin starred chefs! We're not good at this!"
