But maybe you've been waiting until you build a big enough safety net: you don't feel comfortable taking any sort of plunge until you're 100% financially stable. *counts 90 years into future ⏳*

Or maybe you've been trying to set up other revenue streams, but it's going MUCH more slowly than you'd like. In fact, you've been hearing crickets instead of "cha-ching." 💰

Perhaps you've been doing some freelance work on the side, but you're having trouble scaling the business, getting enough steady income, and not running yourself ragged. 😵‍💫

Or maybe you're just trying to figure out how to start a remote business while balancing travel with a family, a partner, kids, a dog, and a lease or a house back home—the whole nine yards! 🏡

this 💯 sums up the cultural consciousness.

This movement has been in progress for years—the pandemic only served to accelerate the inevitable. It began over a decade ago when the first Generation 1.0 digital nomads put up a resistance to the traditional 9-5 paradigm, paving the way to an all-new career path that didn’t previously exist: the early-prototype online business.

The early-prototype online business leveraged technology to share a message far and wide, creating miniature sub-cultures of fans who were interested in a specific topic.

This was, in effect, a large-scale social experiment—and, it worked. Early online creators were rewarded handsomely for their leadership at a time when people were just starting to look for a new American dream: one that didn’t feel so disrespectful to their souls.

However, a new problem soon emerged: rapid-fire burn out.

Without any guardrails on this new entrepreneurial experiment, many online creators began burning the candle at both ends. How do you keep up with all the increasing demands, the content, the newsletters, the communities, the DMs, the posts, the replies, the dings, the tasks, the noise? How do you constantly create to keep things flowing? How do post enough so people are engaged? How do you stay true to your vision when there are so many things that need to get done?

Online creators became just as worn down as their corporate counterparts, creating a type of self-imposed prison. Today, however, they're seeking a new, ease-filled version of business—and an all-new lifestyle to boot: one that values time, experiences, travel, and joyful, authentic living as much as it does success.

Selfish is Pioneering an All-New Way to Build a Lucrative Remote Career and a Spacious, Ease-Filled Life.

SELFISH IS here to help YOU CREATE that.

Selfish School Helps Professionals & Families Earn a High Remote Income While Also Enjoying an Abundance of Time To:

The Secret? The Selfish Method™️

The selfish method™️ is our proprietary nomadic business framework.

The framework focuses on earning two different forms of income: hard-currency income ($) and time income ($T).

It’s this dual-income framework that makes our methodology revolutionary.

Our method explores how to hit the $250K mark in 24 months or less. This provides your hard-currency income structure that earns you a generous income from anywhere in the world. ✅

but, what makes it one-of-its-kind is that it’s also built strategically to help you earn back your time ($T).

Time Income ($T) earns you the spaciousness in your life you crave—without getting trapped in a neverending hamster wheel of running an online business.

THE SELFISH METHOD™️ is set up uniquely to optimize time efficacy and take advantage of modern technology, allowing for a completely new model of work: one in which requires only half the traditional time investment so you free up the other half of the day to get back to what matters most.

Your life. ✅

You can't enjoy ease until you have independent financial security. After working with thousands of professional nomads for 13+ years, we've adopted a systematic approach to hitting a high six-figure income by focusing on eight (8) high-impact levers proven to maximize your income as an independent professional from anywhere in the world. When we work together, we'll help you apply those principles to your own existing or new remote business, so you can skip the learning curve and do what works...so you start earning fast.

A core tenant of our method is its emphasis on Time-as-Profit. We weight your leisure time as equally as we do your income, and consider it a fundamental measure of success: our goal for our clients is to overcome industrial-era notions of how long the work day should be, and instead, be as effective as possible while also building in as much space into their day as possible in order to fully explore their environment and have time to pursue soul-enriching activities without sacrificing financial outcomes. Go ahead, take the afternoon off. And tomorrow, too.

The 3 Goals of The Selfish Method™

Earn a High 6-Figure Income Remotely

Work Spacious, 4 Hour Half Days

goal one

goal two

The average United States professional gets two weeks off a year. Using that as our baseline, our third goal is to help our clients travel a minimum of 12 weeks a year, or 3 months per year—a 500% increase from the standard—whether it’s to the fjords of Finland or just to your cousin’s lake house in Michigan, you’ve now got the freedom to do so...whenever you want. (And if you're feeling really brave, let's make it permanent!)

Travel 500% More

goal three

THE SELFISH CAREER METHOD

Sipping tea on the patio of an Airbnb in Provence, or Santorini, or Buenos Aires, or Edinburgh.

Spend your mornings working no more than 4 hours—that's our goal!—before breaking for lunch... and life.

Have the whole afternoon off to leisurely stroll through markets, parks & footpaths.

Be able to ride your bike to pick up a crisp vine of tomatoes for dinner, a fresh loaf of bread & flowers.

Have plenty of time to play catch with your kids, explore nature & read stories.

And spend the evening researching your next destination—Finland? Cyprus? Montenegro?

By later this year, you can be...
