Nomad festival & goodies to win

šŸ§Ø Hey favorite people! Just came back from Sinaia in Romania, and my energy, motivation, and love of life are sky high!
Hereā€™s what we have in store this week:

1. Reminder: You are not weird; the benchmark is wrong.
2. Event: One-week nomad festival in a Bulgarian mountain town.
3. Goodies: A collection of cool stuff you can win/get!

Bansko, Bulgaria

Pick the right benchmark

When we judge our lives - feeling behind or ahead, crazy or normal - we do so by benchmarking ourselves against something or someone.

Comparison can be the thief of joy, but if we choose to compare, let's be intentional about it. Are we measuring against what we truly want, or just another 'should'?

Take action: Whenever you feel behind or not enough, pause and challenge the benchmarks you've chosen - the people, the environments, the mindsets.

Nomad conference in ā€¦ Bulgaria?

What: Bansko Nomad Fest brings together digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to maximise connection, collaboration, and interaction.

Why: If you want to meet and learn from one of the largest concentrations of nomads and remote workers in Europe (and beyond), you can't miss this event. Enjoy fun activities like dance classes, improv, and speed dating while learning and networking in a charming Bulgarian mountain town - when the rest of Europe is boiling? Sign me up!
