Hi. I’m Simon Black�" international investor, entrepreneur, permanent traveler, free man. This free daily e-letter is about using the experiences from my life and travels to help you achieve more freedom.
In the last 3 months I’ve traveled to over 20 countries, met with a President and several diplomats, briefed sovereign fund managers, flown an aerobatic stunt plane, started several companies, hitchhiked in Bogota, taken a train across the orient, lectured on entrepreneurship in Eastern Europe, and personally provided venture capital to new start-ups.
I’m a student of the world, and I believe that travel is the greatest teacher. My knowledge is practical, and hopefully of significant use to you. Off the top of my head I could quote you the price of beachfront property in Croatia, where to bank in Dubai, the best place to store gold in Singapore, which cities in Mexico are the safest, which hospitals in Asia are the most cost effective, and how to find condo foreclosure listings in Panama.
I believe that in order to achieve true freedom, you have to be able to make money, control your time, and eliminate the mindset that you are subject to a corrupt government that is bent on degrading your personal liberty.
This blog is dedicated to those principles, and I provide concise, actionable information each day to help you achieve those ends. After all, it’s 2011… which means that it’s time to expand our horizons and consider, quite literally, the world of possibilities out there… all the things that the system told us were impossible, or not for “ordinary” people are, in fact, very much a reality:
You don’t have to be a slave to geography anymore; live where you want, how you want.
You can take control of your time and spend it how you want, not how others tell you
You can live a luxurious and worry-free lifestyle overseas that would be unaffordable elsewhere
You can make money anywhere, whether it’s China, Panama, New Zealand, or online
