Majsai Richárd social media szakértővel, a hazai freelancer élet egyik mozgatórugójával beszélgettünk, aki az elmúlt 4 évben végig követte a hazai szabadúszó kultúra fejlődését, épülését. A Freedom X Fest volt társalapítója, a Nomad Cruise rendszeres résztvevője, a Mentor Tribe alapítója és még sorolhatnánk. Olyan témákat érintünk, mint: Hogyan kezdj bele egy freelancer életforma kiépítésébe? Milyen nehézségekkel találkozol, ha erre az útra lépsz? És hova juthatsz el, ha kitartóan dolgozol?
Stuart runs a series of entrepreneurial retreats in cool locations called coworkation and just ran his first conference Freedom X Fest in the Spanish Pyrenees which lasted 6 days and had over 400 attendees! Stuart came to Europe from Australia as a backpacker and started off in Spain where he had a lot of adventures; from turning his apartment into a ‘pop up hostel' to running pub crawls then guided trips to Oktoberfest amongst other destinations. Stuart focussed on getting a good database of companies selling products to the digital nomad/location independent community in order to get them to co-promote his events and/or become sponsors. Stuart maintains an active Facebook page that has over 18,000 likes and shares a lot of photos and content there to build interest in his events. He talked about how he uses YouTube and Instagram to promote his events as the cool locations lend themselves well to this type of visual marketing.

Estela has been living a location independent lifestyle for over fifteen years, and defining what freedom means for herself on the way. She shares how her determination to stay curious like a child, to keep on asking questions, without worrying too much about the answers, keeps her on her tracks of defining the life she wants, and creating it. As more and more people are joining this way of living, there is still a lot to create, and it is up to each person to invent their own personal version. It can feel lonely sometimes, and events like Freedom X Fest are a great opportunity for inspiration and support. After being part of last summer's edition, I can definitely say that the intention was met, and this festival with its special twist is a great place to meet and/or stay in touch with this global family. http://www.integrallyalive.com/wp-content/uploads/podcast_integrallyalive/13_integrally_alive_podcast_2018-11-29_location_independent_lifestyle_and_creating_a_life_of_freedom_with_Estela_Kun_creator_of_the_FreedomX_fest.mp3 On Freedom, being curious, creating your life, opening new possibilities for living, working, and traveling... * Estela shares the intention behind the creation of Freedom X fest: talks and workshop, outdoors, in nature. Many of us are really eager to learn, network, be in the business environment, but equally we are as motivated to experience ourselves as human beings, come together, dance together, do mediation, yoga, and have a much more flexible environment. The importance of the environment, and how nature supports community. [1:16]* One of the biggest challenge of the location independent life: isolation. As the community is growing globally, events like Freedom X Fest are steps in creating a global network, family, where people are defining themselves not on location anymore, but on their value system. [4:45]* Being location independent is still a new trend. There is an amazing opportunity that comes with this new style of working, living and traveling around the planet, but it is also a great responsibility about what we do with it and how we use it. That's why events like Freedom X fest are so important, because that's how we can define these new terms and possibilities. [7:19]* How Estela came to live this lifestyle: "What else is possible?" How "just" knowing what I want from life and asking how I can get there makes all the difference. In this lifestyle, because it is new, we have to find new ways to do things, which is pretty exiting. One of the most important things is curiosity, and asking questions without the need to actually know the answer... That leads us on new path. Having a childlike curiosity: Children don't have a way how the world should be, they just explore, ask, try... If we can tap more into the sense of ourselves, we can unlearn some of the stuff that we don't need and be ourselves. [12:12]* So, what is freedom? Freedom is having the choice to be, to do: Asking "Is this really what I want?". Defining it, and then being open to ask again, and seeing this definition change, over time. Once we stop to live a life that we are supposed to live, like what society exposes on us, we can start to define ourselves from within and construct this reality outside of us. Freedom is also having the flexibility to chose a direction and go towards it, but being free to take detours, or even to see this direction changing... Knowing where you go, but having the flexibility to adapt yourself to live. [15:05]* Once you have freedom, a lifestyle where you can do whatever you want, what is it that you do? It's never about achieving anything, but about the journey, and the goal is constantly evolving. There is no framework (yet) to create this lifestyle, so we have to create these new ways of living. And each of us is creating the life s/he wants in his/he...

This is the fifth year I have published my annual review and goals for the upcoming year. If you are curious about how I have honed the process, here are the yearly reviews for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and the goals setting posts for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. This annual review process is inspired by Chris Guillebeau who has been publishing his annual reviews for several years and has a free spreadsheet for you to download and do you own review. This year I am also using Orian Marx' Lifecrafting Annual Review. Because I am largely an optimistic person by nature, I tend to look back at most things as having been successful. And of this positive bias, this process is valuable because it enables me to take a brutally honest look at what did not go well, so that I can keep learning and improving. If you are someone who sometimes feels you have not gotten much done this year, you might actually be surprised once you go through this review process as we tend to overestimate what we can do in a day and underestimate what we can achieve in a year. This post will look at what went well and what did not for 2017. My hope for sharing this is to both inspire you to conduct your own annual review, and to give some insight into how I structure the process and reflect upon my year.
