make 10 to 15,000 us on those ones I sold my house put in Bitcoin and that's it and I live off it that's what you need to be able to be you know start you know as a coach hi guys welcome back to the channel so I'm here with JoJo again and we'll be interviewing digital Nomad one more time but today we are interviewing them from the beautiful beach here in Bali so stay tuned because we have some amazing interviews coming up Let Go all right so do you mind telling me what's your name and where you're from yeah my name is Dion I'm from Australia originally but now I live full-time in Bali my name is Jamie Parker and I'm from uh London I'm Simon Helwig I'm a gas engineer from London or was a gas engineer my name is Elizabeth I'm from England okay I'm From Italy I'm Kyo and do you mind sharing what do you do for a living as a digital Nomad yeah so I basically create uh Fitness content and do online coaching online fitness coaching I'm a musician and DJ uh I teach DJ Retreats both in person and online I sold my house put in Bitcoin quite a while ago and that's it and I live off it no way I teach bre dancing online my plan was to be a digital NAD when I came out but I landed here about 6 weeks ago and now all of a sudden I've got a job to be a general manager of a boat party oh my God how did you get started I just came here I kind of didn't know what else to do I was here in 2020 when things closed and was kind of stuck here um started DJing it went well most of the time I do like ecstatic dance which is quite big here in barley especially ubo and changu and then a lot of people asked me like can you teach me how to DJ so I figured out how to do that run Retreats and then last year I filmed the online course and now I teach students from all over the world so I was I'm from London so I worked in London Northwest London I worked like mad so I paid off my mortgage and stuff like that so that's why when I could take the equity out so when I found something that I believed in I just did it that way so if you believe in something just go for it can we know like how much you invested initially in Bitcoin and like I invested about 8 thou 80,000 before I sold my house you went all in yeah then I sold my house and put that in and I sold my dude caty and I put that in I thought I love Fitness I love the gym that's what makes me happy is the gym and I thought I can't sit in an office for the rest of my life doing something I'm not passionate about but you know in school especially in the UK they tell you you're going to be an accountant you're going to be a banker you're going to be a lawyer you're going to be a doctor there's not an option of doing something like this like being a digital Nomad okay being a Tik tocker you know and we've seen a lot of uh Fitness guys you know posting on Tik Tok young guys so I thought right me and my mate we started posting on social media we thought why not start posting why not try and make something of ourselves and then yeah couple years down the line and it just just all come together and I thought yeah that's that's what I want to do with my life you know it doesn't matter it may not be the typical typical career path of you know Banker lawyer doctor accountant but I'm doing what I love I'm helping transform young guys physes I'm helping people become the best version of themselves first I started with YouTube just uh publishing videos about bre dancing tutorials showing my skills and then people started started asking me for that and uh I started with Patron okay first and then from Patron I switched to online coaching okay and then started making online courses and PDF guides about breakdancing and now I just started a Blog also I actually put on a picture of me and my friend who've come out to Barley from England and we were looking for accommodation so we'd put on a picture you know she works in social media marketing I work in Hospitality we're looking for a villa two-bedroom this budget around this area we got this message from a guy going we don't have accommodation but we do have this boat party promotional video launch if you and your friend would be up for it just right up our street so we were like okay yeah we'll do it yeah we're clearly asking the right questions and then he's actually offered me a job off the back of that so it just so happened to be right place right time yeah do you mind sharing with us how much do you make per month roughly and what's the cost of living here in Bali that's a tough question I mean Bary cost of living can be quite small or it can be quite a lot depending on sort of what level of comfort you like um for me my business is it's still kind of quite new so it fluctu um I run three or four Retreats a year um I make 10 to 15,000 us on those ones um I play a lot of gigs as well so um yeah it's a bit of a mixture it's it's up and down like anywhere it's a little um can be inconsistent can be uncomfortable but it's it's worth the risk for a a beautiful life here yeah so roughly how much I make per month uh it's anywhere in between 2 to £3,000 a month at the minute and where does your client mostly come from my client base is now mainly in the UK um but I do have some based um all around the world but yeah I actually I really do enjoy working with uh UK based clients it's pennies and pounds like meals are £8 like you can't get that in London £8 can't even just about get you on the bus so that's why you see so much people happy here cuz they're just chilling they're living the life I just wasn't confident to do it at a younger age I would say chase that money build that wealth and then do it break dancing is a very small Niche yeah so there are not so many bre danc coaches right now still pretty low I think less than $2,000 uh us do per month so I'm kind of investing reinvesting not only for living in Bali but also I have like two uh people working for me so I spending pretty much everything I have at the moment yeah but I think it's good because like you're building but also reinvesting in yourself and in your courses and your life and I think with the salary you would be making it would be harder I think to live in Italy yeah of course yeah and what do you say is the best part of being a digital no man for here the like the ability to live a cheaper lifestyle if you need to for a while the community here like there's so many people doing it so it's very easy to to meet people and collaborate and get ideas and inspiration uh well I graduated uni only about 6 months ago uh I started working um you know well I started doing my online working and I thought you know I want to give this a proper shot I don't really want to go and get a typical 9 to5 uh and I thought look you know most people my age backpacking around southeast Asia and I thought that I want to see the world I want to see southeast Asia but I want to keep doing what I love you know creating Fitness content online coaching so I thought you know why not come out to Southeast Asia come to Barley go to Thailand and try and make this work as a career while seeing some amazing parts of the world Barley's Wicked you know it's a great place look I love my training you know love my running love my food um and here's just such a great place for it you know every day wake up straight to the gym hit the gym do the ice bath do the sauner you know come work in the afternoons you know work to the evenings it's just it's such it's such a good way of living um and it's you know it's really motivating me to make this work long term I would say I'd put myself out there which seems so stupidly cliche but the message that I actually put on the group it was half 11 12:00 at midnight and I thought I just need to do something like I'm sat here wanting it but you can't want accommodation you can't want to get yourself somewhere you need to do something so I thought I'll just very quickly do it and you know put it away go to bed wake up and then the message was sat waiting for me in the morning so it's just a case of putting a lot of trust in yourself which is so much easier said than done but once you just do a little thing 5 minutes one day it's just 5 minutes more than you would have done yesterday just little things that you keep doing so if you got that mentality of being hungry especially at a young age which a lot of people don't have just be nice to people and just ask some questions a lot of wealthy people are really nice it's the people that are not wealthy that are trying to pretend to be wealthy are the ones that are more arrogant and have these attitudes but if you if you work hard you'll meet some really nice people cuz people love hard workers you grow up hungry you naturally will do it you appreciate yeah you work hard and people love that yeah spoiled people will never get anything they'll get it from their parents but in real life they will get nothing so yeah you just got to stay hungry you just need to try maybe create something free at first maybe it can be online content YouTube videos short videos maybe just a blog or anything else just do it for free at first to experiment when you know what people are asking for you can try to sell something true yeah maybe it could be be a course it can be a product depending on the niche depending on what you do you 100% don't need deg uh need a degree but the most important thing um is it's not actually any qualifications like PT qualifications but it's experience uh I've been it's experienc and results so I've been lifting uh lifting weights in the gym now for about 8 years um and I'm now actually a hybrid coach as well um so I've only been running for just under a year but I've got the results in races you know which hold to my name so you know you essentially need results in how your physique looks and results in if you're a powerlifting coach and the weights that you're lifting or if you're doing running you know in the times that you're getting all right guys so I hope you find some inspiring Insight from the interview we just did and if you want to know more about like other interviews that
