Been poor sucks

,

I became a millionaire in my 30s. Let me tell you, it's something I strongly recommend for you too. Being wealthy at a young age is like a superpower, propelling you towards happiness. Trust me, being both rich and young is the ultimate dream come true. You have all the energy to embrace your freedom and pursue your passions. By the time I turned 40, I was financial free. At that point, I made a bold decision to retire early and embark on an exciting adventure around the world on a motorcycle. And boy, was it a wild ride!

I started from zero. No, under zero. At 27 I was $ 200k in debt.

No tricks.
No hustles.
No inheritance.

Here are 10 choices that made me rich and then financial free.

1. I decided to pursue a career with a higher potential revenues in finance instead of liberal arts.

2. I eliminated negative influences from my life. If all you want is to party and drink, then goodbye. If it’s not WOW, then it’s NO.

3. I didn't let the naysayers get to me. I lead my life.

4. I managed my finances wisely and never had any bad debts or paid interest on credit cards after turning 28.

5. I focused on a few important projects instead of spreading myself too thin.

6. I avoided watching the news because it mainly focuses on negativity, which doesn't contribute to personal wealth.

7. I surrounded myself with successful millionaires and learned from them by taking notes. Wealthy people can be great teachers.

8. I invested all my earnings for the long term since short-term investments can be volatile. Over time, the market is a more stable choice.

9. I never backed down from a challenge and fought hard to achieve my goals.

10. I prioritized my health and family above material wealth since without them, money doesn't mean much.

Trust me, been poor sucks. I was poor, I didn’t like it. I changed it.

I did so you can too. Don’t wast your time looking to the others lives, hit the jackpot and hack the poor society rules and join the club, became financial free.

What a time to live!

I should give thanks to the last few years. I had so much from them.

I will still live and think out of the box, I do not like rules, never did. Life is a miracle, a priceless gift and we should enjoy every single minute of it, because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME

Let me tell you a story.

There was a child who dreamt of being an astronaut. But his mother told him that it would not be possible, as did his teacher, his professors, the priest and all the people in and around his life.
They told him to go to school, to find a normal job, to have a family and a normal life.
In the long run, they convinced him, so he married an average woman, moved into an average house with average mortgage and had average friends. A very average life indeed.
But in the very last hour of the last day of his life, he remembered that he wanted to be an astronaut and suddenly he realised that he had wasted his life.

One of my mentors told me that short story and I love to dwell on it finding its essence: the meaning of life.
Each of us has their own, so, go for it and find yours.

When I was a child, my dream was to travel the world, so in a such a way, I succeeded. But what was the price I paid to be the man I am now? I practically fought with everyone along the way. It was not easy but I love to say I was just lucky, because Mrs. Lucky only dates the brave.

Guys, I’ll never be tired of saying: DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME. Life is really a breath, the days roll up within weeks, months, years. Tic tac, tic tac. No way out, time passes and the vast majority of people waste it on sterile, meaningless activities.
Please do not be one of them. Leave the fears behind, follow your dreams and do it now.

Love,
Johnny

Stay Focused

What’s stopping you from achieving the results you really want?
In 80% of the cases the answer would be the lack of focus.

Confucio once said “The man who chases two rabbits, catches neither”. I couldn't agree more. If you want to achieve something, you must be laser focus on it.

That’s the process:

  1. set you goal, according with your values

  2. visualise it like an obsession

  3. focus on it

So, stay focused on what you do. FOCUS stands for Follow One Course Until Successful. That’s the secret. If you’re spending more time on social than reading books or study something or project your life, you are in a big mess, change it.

Stay focused on your goal!

Stephen Curry didn’t become the top NBA 3’s shooter by playing tennis on the weekends. 

Keep your eyes on the ball, stay focused, don’t mess around.

Your life is yours, your future is in your hands. 

Put yourself first in everything

What are your priorities?
Do you prioritize your work, career, or parties over your health?
The main reason why men fall off the wagon is that they prioritize other areas of their life over the most important, their health.

Let me be clear in it: everything starts from your body. Willy-nilly, you will spend this earthly life aboard your body, so it is in your own interest to treat it as best as you can.

Here, my advice is to put your body, and therefore your general well-being, first of all. By doing this, you will have much more energy and you will attract better things in every area of your life. If you feel energetic with peak fitness, you will be able to be better at your career, make more money, be a better father / husband and be in a better mood in general.

It's such a simple concept, but many men put family or career ahead of health, sacrifice their ability to give to their family or give their best at work, and ultimately sacrifice their health.

It's a lose-lose game, nobody wins.

Put yourself first in everything, love yourself and stay selfish, consider yourself before everything else.
When you put yourself first, everything changes.

We have too much and not enough

We have too much.
Too much stuff, too much stress, too many obligations.

Yet we don’t have enough.
Not enough time, not enough money, not enough energy.

We should choose to be happy, physically, financially and emotionally. We should live a prosperous life, finding our balance.

But most of us don’t.

Personally I have identified three types of happiness:

  1. Comparative happiness:
    We compare our happiness with the average happiness of our environment, We measure what we have instead of what we are.

  2. Conditioned happiness:
    We will be happy when we will achieve this or that, when we will possess this or that and so. Never-ending loop.

  3. Absolute happiness:
    We decide to be happy, with whatever we do. We choose the best for us and the forces of the universe coalesced in our favour.

Happiness is love

Living by passive income

,
IMG_7306.jpg

I’m about to hit $50k/mo from my passive real estate investments, and let me tell you..
If you want to be a full time traveller, enjoy all the beauty things that this planet has to offer and live the life you really want to live, you have to be financial free. And with financial free I mean earning money while you sleep, enough cash to cover all the expenses the life of your dreams demands. Got the point?

I have 6 streams of income:

  1. Real estate

  2. Commodities

  3. Companies dividends

  4. NPLs

  5. Portfolio

  6. Interests from deposits

No amount of active income feels as good as passive income and today I’d like to say something about passive income from real estate.

An analysis, to use for your own passive targets:

Take your annual income, and multiply it by 10.

This will give you roughly the amount of net worth you need to have to COMFORTABLY replicate you active income.

Start with one piece of real estate and use leverage. Leverage is the key, stop thinking in terms of TFM “time for money” and start using the word “leverage”. TFM doesn’t work. If you’re still renting out your time for money, you are in the wrong side of the boat. Leverage, leverage, leverage.
Without leverage you’ll never be financial free.

Develop skills and critical thinking and use OPT (Other People Time) and OPM (Other People Money).

Make sure debt service coverage is at 1.3 or higher so the debt doesn’t cost you anything. And make sure it cash flows ~3% of the total “value” of the property.

Don’t spend the money for at least the first year.

Let it build up it’s on cash reserves. That way you never have to worry about it vacancy or maintenance costs.
Keep your lending to MAX 75% LTV.

That means even if a lender only requires 20% downpayment, put down 25%. This keeps you from over-leveraging and you’ll be glad in the long run.
Rinse and repeat.

And don’t rush through it. The process is fun if you make it fun!

Your beliefs influence your life

If there's an area in your life in which you feel stuck, or don't get the results you'd like to get, you probably have some limiting beliefs. Don’t worry, I was black belt in limiting beliefs when I was much younger. Please tell me if this sounds familiar...

From time to time you:

- Make excuses.
- Complain about almost everything.
- Cultivate in negative thoughts.
- Have bad habits.
- Talk to yourself in limiting and unhelpful ways.
- Feel anxiety your fears.
- Worry about failure and making mistakes.
- Procrastinating.
- Think about indulging in perfectionism.
- Practice self-sabotage behaviors.

Your belief systems are not aligned with the goals and objectives you would like to accomplish, which is why you often feel stuck, unfulfilled, and frustrated and than you start finding excuses and postponing your goals. You say:

"I will plan my meals this Sunday."
"I will do a workout this weekend."
"I will go to bed earlier."

The list goes on and on and on.
You are just dragging down and sabotaging your potential.

If you won't identify your limiting beliefs and rewire them, you won’t be able to overcome obstacles and problems. You will fail to attain the outcomes you desire.
That is inevitably one of the main reasons why hopes and dreams never manifest into real results.

Beliefs determine how you feel about yourself, how you feel about others, and how you feel about the events and circumstances of your life. They are at the core of who you are. As such, they influence every aspect of your life in every conceivable way. 

The biggest problem with limiting beliefs is that you probably don’t even realize you have them. So, find your limiting beliefs and start killing then one by one.
Your life will be grateful.

My framework to be in good shape

,
jg52.JPG

Have been asked many times how I can keep my body in a good shape while travelling the world on an adventure bike. My answer is quite always the same: commitment.
Being a full time traveller sometimes would be tricky, no need to tell that is not easy to eat clean everyday or have a good workout when you are in the middle of nothing. Be clear on it: constancy has the best reward for your body, energy, your mood and soul. Maybe, as you get older, the fire burning in your belly may dim, or maybe you don't make your health & fitness a priority. Let me give you how I divide my commitment in three main part, here’s my framework:

NUTRITION see also this post

✔️No Dogma: I know what foods work best for my body so I go for it eating slowly and building awareness.

✔️ Proactive: I take the time to meal prep, I have a game plan when eating out, and snack smart to avoid over eating.

✔️ I track food macros and calories & I drink intake.

MOVEMENT must read it

✔️ I find ways to move more, avoiding sitting as much as I can, and make being active a part of my lifestyle. I love HIIT, stretching and strength workout.

✔️ I combine smart strength training with quality movement to stress my body in the right ways. HIIT twice a week. This will both build strength and boost my metabolism.

✔️I practice as much as I can some activities that I enjoy doing like tennis and swimming. It’s far easier to get moving when you want to move.

MINDSET

✔️ Get Clear: Why do you want what you want? Get clarity on your why and consistent action will follow.

✔️ Sleep well: I optimize my sleep with a specific night time routine (I use iPhone bedtime).

✔️ Manage Stress: breathing, yoga, meditation, walking, or nature to manage stress.

The Brave quotes

Go light or stay home

My KTM 1290 loaded with Mosko Reckless 40

My KTM 1290 loaded with Mosko Reckless 40

Being a minimalist it is one of the things that has had the greatest impact in my life as a traveler. I travel light, I take with me just the essential, and when I need something more, I buy it on the road. No better way to travel on a bike.

But I am not the rule, I’m the exception. Social media are full of pictures of motorbikes full loaded, with many languages, bags and sometimes even tires on the top. We must admit that they are certainly very scenic photos and that they make a nice effect.
But, be realistic, why take all that stuff with you? Why some guys travel on a motorbike with 6 T-shirts, 3 pair of jeans, 7 panties, 4 pair of shoes and counting? I saw a video of a guy carrying an axe with him, I swear. Why they carry useless stuff?

The answer is: INSICURITY

As adults we develop a sense of discomfort when we leave our comfort zone, and we often tend to identify comfort with the ephemeral security that we believe is given to us by material things. That's why some people tend to fill their lives with everything, and travellers are not an exception. I met many motorbike travelers in difficulty due to the excessive load of their motorbike, others who took an infinite time every day to load it, still others who lost important objects in the infinity of their load.
The day you understand that everything beyond the essential is useless, and therefore harmful, you give yourself and your life a new freedom.
There is nothing wrong with being insecure but weighing down your life and, in our case, your motorcycle with useless things, is a waste of time and energy.

Break the pattern, change the way you see security. Doing what’s uncommon requires an uncommon approach and an uncommon mindset and belief system.

So, be light, be agile, be minimal. Take with you the essential, you don’t need nothing more.

Never stop playing

,
IMG_2306.JPG

They say “don’t grow up, it’s a trap”, never were words more true.

We start getting older, when we stop paying, when we lose that sense of joy that only kids have, that kind of emotion that push you to jump from the bed to go to the football field, or for a ride on your bicycle, or just go with your mates to make some problems..

My elementary school teacher said I have some issue with focus, “attention deficit” she said, but the truth is I just wasn't interested in studying, I always wanted to play.

It was my blessing.

George Bernard Shaw said “We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing”, can’t agree more. Keeping alive the desire to play has allowed me to take life not too seriously, it has allowed me to cultivate the curiosity (one of the foundations in my business). I've practically spent my life playing with everything. Sometimes I got hurt, but even that, and above all that, helped me grow.

But guys, stop playing small. It’s an insult to the force that created you. To embolden yourself, associate with bold people and please… Dream big! If your dreams are not bold, daring, and a little frightening, well then they are not dreams.

I don't feel like a mature person, I am a responsible person. I leave maturity to those who have the time to understand it, I remain a child, and I continue to play.

New projects

I’m writing this post from the seat 9B on the flight that is taking me from Casablanca to Venice, Italy. I’ve spent the last months in Morocco travelling like crazy as I’m in love with this country and the last week in Casablanca, I had the time to fix some priorities and to work on my next project. I live between one expedition and another and sometimes I need to stop and focus on sharpen the blade. So, here my next project:

The book
I started writing a book with a collection of my experiences on the road and some lessons I gave from the life, not only on traveling but also in business, relationships, friendships etc. My goal, as usual, is to inspire my audience to live a free, rich, brave and full life.

Next Expedition
I’m going to travel in Europe till October then, from November I will move to A) South America B) Africa, that’s depend a lot on the situation world-wide with this F*****g virus. The new 1290 Super ADV S is waiting for me, ready for the next trip and in few weeks I’ll be on the road again.

Tackle my Clutter
What is enough? Enough is a very personal metric. I am a minimalist person, I travel most of my time but, by nature, we all tend to collect stuff, and in a such way I am not different. I realised I have too many T-shirts, shoes, a car I don’t use, too many bikes in the garage, 3 bicycles, 16 helmets and a couple of cabinets full of motorcycle gear.. So, from time to time, I do the “spring cleaning”. But this time I do strongly. I sell everything, everything. I will just keep the very essential.

Stay on the list
I realised I’m late on my list, so I want to put some checks on it this year. I wrote that list 20 years ago and it’s still my lighthouse. You have a bucket list?

A positive mindset

,
IMG_7226.jpeg

Living on the road could be an astonishing experience, but sometimes something go wrong, suffer a theft, puncture a tire, lose your phone, or… crash. When something bad happens, what do you normally do? Do you get stressed out or feel helpless? I did, for so long till the day I discovered that getting mad and not get quickly over it, is just a waste of time.

When something bad happens, I do everything possible not to fall into stress. I don’t focus on the problem, I shift my mindset towards a solution. I learned the hard way that something good can always come from something bad. 

I broke the chain between Chile and Argentina, nearest village at 60 miles. I slept in a mountain shelter and in the morning I met a guy who invited me on a three days horse tracking. Was fantastic.

Got an accident during my vacation in Italy and forgot to sell my Bitcoins as my plan was.. You can imagine the rest of the story.

I suffered a ligament contusion in my knee while training on a enduro bike and during the physiotherapy I discovered a new Taylor made way to train my legs and now I’m much stronger and with a better posture.

I have several experiences like these. It's all mindset. All perspective. We control our attitude, effort, and focus. If we choose, we can maintain a positive mindset in the face of any adversity.

The diet of a moto traveler

,
10801266528_IMG_0368.jpeg

Travel on an adventure bike, often off road, is tricky, challenging and our body has to be fit and healthy, and nutrition plays an essential role in our well-being.
There aren’t shortcuts, we need to work hard to be healthy and fit, but trust me, it's worth it.

s.jpeg

If we look on social networks or TV, we will only see healthy, physically fit and happy people. If instead we look out of our window we will see sad people, certainly not physically fit and often overweight. Why?
In nature, we find foods that are hydrated, rich in vitamins and minerals and low in calories. In the supermarket, on the other hand, we often find dehydrated foods, poor in vitamins and minerals and rich in calories. This is because the natural and processed food have a different energy density; the processed food has much more calories for the same quantity.
By my experience and from all the studies I made on nutrition, I strongly recommend to eat only natural, whole food. Here my advises:

Screenshot+2020-10-19+at+14.51.27.png

  • Calculate your calories, go to a professional or roughly multiply your current body weight in pounds by 12 to determine the number of calories you should eat.

  • 5-6 small meals a day.

  • Vegetables, fruits and fish (white meat is allowed too), eggs. That’s where your calories should come from. Avoid processed sugar, bread, pasta, red meat, milk.

  • One gram of protein per pound of your body weight every day. Get 30% of your calories from fat meaning, to make these easier to count, convert them to grams. Since a gram of fat contains nine calories. The rest of your calories come from carbohydrates. To calculate these, subtract your fat calories and then your protein calories from the total. Protein and carbohydrates both contain four calories per gram.

  • Keep with you protein powder, a good and natural one.

  • Drink tons of filtered water.

    If you can’t recognise something, don’t eat it. If possible, eat raw food. Fast one day a week (I’ll write a post on this subject). Stay lean, stay fit, stay healthy. Fat people live a life of hardships. The fitter you are, the easier it is to stay fit. Whereas the more you deteriorate your body, the harder it is to come back, and claw your way back to a baseline. It requires heroic acts.

    Stay fit, you matter. 

    Remember that you are what you eat.

You are your habits

GPTempDownload.jpeg

A prosperous life isn’t created overnight, the secrets are your daily habits. Yes, just daily habits. Your diet, exercise routine, the quality of your sleep, self-development time, etc. – are the building blocks of your health, success and prosperity. And if you want to be happy, really happy, you should pay attention on that.
Daily habits are the foundational element of the success of your life. As a full time traveler, I live on my bike but my focus is always on my habits, because I hate bad surprises, in any area of my life. I’m strongly convinced that I’m living the life of my dreams because I keep the focus on positive, empowering habits.
If you make a habit of exercising, eating healthily food, drinking tons of water on a regular basis, better health is the result.
If you make a habit of reading, listening motivating podcast, spending time with successful people, success is the result.
If you make a habit of treating people with respect, empathy, and caring, much better relationships are the result.
You don’t actually create a successful life, you just choose the right daily habits and they create it. It’s simple. I learned it the hard way. So, if you have some limiting habits, start eliminating it one by one, and replace them with positive, empowering ones.

If I had to choose one keystone habit, that one big domino that knocks down all the others, it's getting up early. I can tap into the best part of myself that is committed to my vision & goals, which spring from my values. What's truly important to me.
It also allows for a solid hour to complete my morning routine, the primary purpose of which is to cultivate a positive mindset. I program myself to be who I want to be and achieve what I want to achieve.

Changing or improving your habits will bring you to become the person you want to be. So, why not choose to become a healthy, interesting, fascinating, curious, joyful, sexy, harmonious, wealthy, successful, spiritual, adventurous, friendly, talented, happy one?

Let's talk about money

,
IMG_1333.jpeg

There are 3 subjects topics that seam to be a taboo in our society, they are Religion, Sex, Money. It seams that people talk about everything but not sex, religion or money. Why? Because we have built a strong belief that these topic are something to keep personal. You probably have been educated to believe certain things about sex and sexuality, religions, money that are completely false. And it shouldn’t surprise you to learn that when you have erroneous beliefs about important things, they prevent you from creating the life you desire. Today we talk about money, something always useful if you won’t die tomorrow.

I’ve travelled in 72 countries, have met thousands of people and this stuff is pretty the same: Religion, Sex and money are taboos.

Family, government, school told you that rich people are evil, greed, they cheat on taxes, etc.. Maybe you remember some old says like “money can’t buy happiness” or “we are poor but at leas er are honest”; the environments in which we grew up are steeped in this nonsense.
As a result, it creates a lot of negative and erroneous beliefs, most of these emotionally-charged beliefs are based upon centuries-old stereotypes and superstitions. And people act the victims role sabotaging themselves and prevent them to be healthy, wealthy and happy.

So, the point is: if you want to be financial free, you first have to break these self-limiting beliefs. Otherwise you will keep sabotaging yourself and prevent you to live the life of your dream. It's amazing how the way you think about yourself changes the way you think about the world. You begin to understand that the only way to change the world is to change yourself.

I was asked hundreds times how I can afford to be a full time traveler without working and my answer is all the same: “I am financial free, living by passive income”, at this point I feel on me the inquisitive eyes of those who don't have the faintest idea of what I'm talking about. Guys, let me be clear with the next sentence:

If you have to do something to make money, you have a job. If you earn money while sleeping, then you have a business. So, my advise is to focus on build a business, not looking for a high salary. Monthly wage is a trap.

You can’t build a business overnight, but you can change yourself. To change yourself, you have to start from your thoughts, that leads you to change your approach to the life, then you change your behaviour and then you change your circumstances… and then you manifest prosperity in all areas of our life: relationships, health, finance, sexuality, and overall success.

So, change yourself first and then.. I strongly recommend to consider of build a business, not to find a job. There are plenty of books on it and you can find enormous amount of informations online, just start. The main point is “do not work for money, make money works for you”, that’s the only way to be financial free and travel full time.

How much you need to travel full time on a motorbike?

, ,

I have been asked so many time on how much does it cost to live on the road. Guys, I take it straight, living on the bike is not free but, to be sincere, money are not the main reason why many don’t travel (we will talk about the real difficulties we have to tackle in another post).
But, the good news is that it would be absolutely affordable and by my personal experience I can say that everybody can do it, only depends on the level of the motivation.
Just ask, what is important to you?

I know several full time travellers, some of them work on the way as Amazon sellers, some are computer engineers and draw codes, some teach English or Spanish or French online, some have kind of rent to rent companies.. I know a web-graphic freelance who makes money on freelancer.com - several SMM find clients on upward.com, the list is pretty long. The point is that there is always a way to make the money you need to travel full time, everything depends on you.

There are three different style to earn on the road:
1. Being financial free, this means that you’ve already built your cash machine and now you live by passive income.
2. You work while travelling, that means that you do something on your journey like sell online, web commerce, IT engendering or teaching something online (webinar, tutorial..).
3. You get a job and work a while, this means that you work, save, travel then you work, save, travel. Repeat.

How much you need to travel full time on a motorbike?
I know a guy in Argentina who use to live with $ 400/month, I know an american girl who spends at least $ 8-10.000 a month. Depends on what you want to do on your journey.
Roughly speaking, you can live with less then $ 3.000 a month, you would spend even less if you camp every night, much more if you love fancy hotels, that’s up to you.
If you are good enough to fix your bike, rewear it from time to time, travel without shipping the bike around the world, you can spend even less.
If you travel in US, then you can find several cheep places where to stay, gas is not that expensive and food is quite good and affordable. South America is super cheep, especially Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. South and East Europe like Italy, Spain or Portugal or are quite expensive, north Europe is very expensive. Africa is super cheep. Australia is mega expensive.
Never travel is Asia, I’ll let you know.
Here a rough example on an average month for a moto-traveller.
Assumptions:
Hotel or camping or tent, average 30€ a day.
Gas, you do not travel everyday, so 20€ a day would be approximately fair.
Food is just 20€ a day, so you won’t get fat!
Bike maintenance you would have some costs (tires, oil, damages..)
Insurance, you must need it, you can spend 50€ a month but a good insurance is a must to have, 300€/month is fair.
Unexpected events, trust me, something always crop up.

Live with less and enjoy it

IMG_6201.jpeg

We want to lose weight, we buy weight loss books, workout equipment, supplements.
We want to travel, we buy a suitcase, a travel pillow, the perfect carry-on luggage.
We want to start meditating, we might get a meditation mat.

That’s insane.

Adding these things to our lives brings problems, not just solutions. We should consider, rather than adding, subtracting. We should say no to bullshit and say yes to life.

People sometimes look at me quizzically when I proclaim that I don’t need more stuff, and that I’m constantly getting rid of what I do have.
What kind of weirdo is this? Why would you want less stuff?

Because less is better.

Less means you worry less. You need less storage. You search for things less. You are less bogged down by clutter. Less means you’re lighter. You’re freer. You can focus on better things. Less means you can travel more quickly. You spend less time with stuff, and more time doing stuff.

Less is more sustainable, more beautiful.

Life is better without stuff.
