Welcome back to a new episode of The Better Self Show!

This is again one of those episodes that I share with you a recurring failure which is that I have not recorded for a few months so it feels that I'm starting over one more time. I come back with new ideas and with better audio quality as I got a new microphone to record.

In this episode you will hear about what is my current situation with this podcast and the ideas I have for the next 3 months on how to move forward with the project and with my life. I hope you enjoy :)

A dream digital job For the last few years and specially the last few months I've been in this journey of creating content in the form of a podcast, a long lasting dream, and I have come to some conclusions so far.

While looking at some videos, reading articles and browsing through social media it occurred to me that there are so many people out there (like me) whose dream is to have a sort of 'digital' job.

You know the 'clichés'... turn your passion to your career, escape from the 9-5 job, be your own boss, travel anywhere while working, create passive income, become a digital nomad... Yes, I am sure that you have heard of those terms before if you want to be an entrepreneur.

I also have that dream but the journey is far more complicated than it seems at the beginning, and one more time I 'failed' and I am back doing content again.

It is easy to see all those who are successful in having their own digital business but hard to notice all of those who have failed along the way in trying...

It takes time to build a brand and all the people who have successfully done so have also started from the lonely beginning like me.

So my intention is to share this journey with you so maybe you can get inspired to do the same, maybe you can come back to this content if I ever become successful with this business or maybe you can witness one more person trying and not getting it.

What skills have I learned The past 9 months have changed my life in many good ways. I got the opportunity to participate in a volunteering program (European Solidarity Corps) funded by the European Union as an IT assistant for an NGO called GEN Europe. Also I got the opportunity to live in a thriving ecovillage while doing the work that I may becoming part of depending on how everything goes after 3 months.

In this time I messed around with creating and documenting websites to the point that I now feel comfortable to do a website for another person.

I also published this podcast with all the editing and producing that goes behind the scenes. And lastly I helped GEN Europe with creating their own podcast called Community: The Ecovillage Podcast to help to spread the word around ecovillages and sustainable lifestyle (which is wonderful!).

So now I am at the point where I have no income and have to pay rent and all that stuff. I have at least 3 months
