One other principle that has served me well in trusting is having an abundant lifestyle. For most traditional digital nomads, the key identifying point of their lifestyle choice can be summed up in one word: ‘cheap.’ An entire cottage industry has been built up around people who prefer living on $1,000 a month in Chiang Mai to working in the City of London for $100,000 a year. There is nothing wrong with that lifestyle, but it does condition you to think, “How can I get this done for cheap?”
