How To Live Anywhere

As I state in my "Ridiculously Extraordinary Life" Hub, I have never run a successful internet-based business (my eight year musical endeavor never yielded a positive result). In fact, I have never earned a profit online. Though most of the blame can be placed on my lack of knowledge and understanding, I refuse to let myself off that easy. The truth is, I've been too scared to try.

But not only do I now have profuse knowledge and a rich understanding in making money online, I'm also the least intimidated to apply it. I will succeed. Here's why:

"How To Live Anywhere" (HTLA), the title to Karol Gajda's magnum opus (to be released June 8th), denotes exactly what the eBook was written for: to teach those who want an independent, "Ridiculously Extraordinary Life", how to live one--from anywhere in the world.

Gajda, internet entrepreneur of 10+ years, traveler of the world, and the brain behind "Ridiculously Extraordinary.com" (one of the most exciting blogs to cover such topics as freedom, health, travel, and life), densely crams informative content into (58) pages of fluid prose, and easy to follow steps.

"How To Live Anywhere" is broken down into (3) sections: Philosophy, Travel & Living, and Making Money (which makes up almost half the content pp. 34-58). It also includes a free e-mail consultation, which Gajda claims to respond to personally (To date, Karol has answered every one of my questions. Whether obvious or challenging. And he's nice about the obvious ones too!).

The author writes in the intro, "This multi-media training will cover what it takes to live anywhere. It's part mindset, part philosophy (my Mom did always say I was a philosopher), part action and all based on 10+ years of personal experience working for myself using the Internet."

But it doesn't stop there. Gajda also writes:

"My aim here is to help you get what you thought you were going to get ... and more than that, to help you figure out exactly what you want."

In the following, I will give a brief outline of "How To Live Anywhere". After, I will comment on its pros and cons, reveal who should actually buy it, and then rate the value of the eBook according to your personality.

In his philosophical section, Karol touches upon ideas concerning how to get what you want, ways to live anywhere, and includes his theory on seeking knowledge. All while debunking "Myths" and "I Can'ts", including the famous "I Have A Family Can't".

Yes, it is possible to Live Anywhere, have a "Ridiculously Extraordinary Life", all while supporting a family!

In this second section, Karol gives insight into Visas and vaccinations; knowledge ascertained from his travel experiences to India, Thailand, and New Zealand (to name a few places). The author also extensively talks about flights: deals, upgrades, and alliances; a section which is packed with money saving tips and loads of leads in getting great seats and free flights. Finally, the Travel & Living section is rounded off with first-hand strategies ranging anywhere from obtaining good travel insurance, to finding an apartment and getting settled in your new location, to obtaining an office in every major city!

In the introduction to "How to Live Anywhere", Gajda foreshadows:

"HTLA [How to Live Anywhere] is focused heavily on making money from your laptop. Half of the content is devoted to that and the rest is devoted to the logistics of living anywhere."

He wasn't lying.

Though before I proceed, this third and final section of the eBook opens with a fair warning from the author that I thought was too important not to include in my outline:

"...be aware of the "not enough" mentality. I mentioned this already, but it bears repeating. I used to have the not enough mentality. Badly. $100/day wasn't enough. $200/day wasn't enough. $500/day wasn't enough. Once I hit $2000/day and it wasn't enough I felt like something was wrong. When I made that realization my life collapsed. It was a deep depression which lasted YEARS and I can't explain it if you've never felt it. Suffice it to say, I spent my whole life dreaming of making a lot of money, thinking it would make me really happy. When I finally started making lots of money (I paid more in taxes at age 24 than most people in the US make in a year) and wasn't any happier than when I didn't make too much, my worldview crumbled."

WIth that being said, once you discover how much money you'll actually need to support your "Ridiculously Extraordinary Life", Gajda shows you how to make it. Expounding on methods (i.e affiliate and info product strategies) that have earned the author 6 figure incomes, "How To Live Anywhere" not only shows one how to make money*, but how to build a business as well.

*Hubpage authors will especially love the Hubpages On Steroids section!

At this point in time, I am in the beginning stages of leading a "Ridiculously Extraordinary Life". I cannot comment on what has or hasn't worked for me personally, only that I know the methods work, because I know Karol, and I've witnessed his lifestyle. But I will make sure to update anything that I find doesn't work, here in the Cons section.

What I can comment on is this: if you already make a good sum of money online, and don't require the Making Money section, then you're better off not buying the book. Though Travel & Living is extensive and very informative, it acts more as a time-saver than anything else. One is fully capable of (extensively) researching and amassing the same type of strategies that Karol implements in his travels on their own time.

The Philosophy section, which dually acts as the means and the end, in a sort of interrelating feedback loop with Travel & Living and Making Money (genius), may take a lot of work to implement into your lifestyle (I take it for granted that I am already on the same page as Karol in terms of minimalism and pursuing happiness). And although he shows how any person, no matter what their situation, can live a "Ridiculously Extraordinary Life", I have a feeling that those with dependents and/or females (in regards to traveling the world solo) may feel alienated from the first two sections.

However,

If you've ever wanted to learn how to make serious money online, "How To Live Anywhere" has your answers. The methods are innovative and the guides are laid out very thoroughly, in an easy to follow format. And the eBook is cheap ("The Short Haul" course is only $81, which is the one I recommend)! But if you simply do not have the money, then you at least have Karol's blog and free e-mail course, which from time to time offer free internet-based money making tips (the link to his eBook and blog are at the top!).

And although I don't want the Pros section to sound like a sales pitch, on top of the free e-mail consultation mentioned earlier, "How To Live Anywhere", the $81 "Short Haul" edition, offers an extra 4 PDF reports (including a 4,000 word 4 figure-in-one-day affiliate marketing case study using 3 live examples), 9 interviews, and 4 audios.

It wouldn't have been a fair review, had I not mentioned the extras.

People who take action. People who are tired of hoping and dreaming, and want to start doing. People who want freedom. People who want to take $81 (a couple tanks of gas or a lousy piece of exercise equipment) and turn it into a lot of money. People who will work hard for a short while, to make their long-term dreams a reality.

Otherwise, if you're not the kind of person who will apply the information, or if you're simply lazy, then please, save your money. The content is useless if not acted upon. And nobody is going to take action for you.

• The Man of Action (thinker + doer) will find the value of "How To Live Anywhere" to be a 10/10, or completely worth the price.
• The Doer (hard worker + struggles with ideas) will find the value of "How To Live Anywhere" to be a 8.5/10, or only worth about 85% of the price (Which is subjective. Depending on how much advice they seek from Karol, they could increase the value all the way to 10).
• The Thinker (great ideas + no action) will find the value of "How To Live Anywhere" to be a 0/10. They will not find the eBook useful at all.

Thanks for reading! Please comment with your testimonials if you purchase this course. Also, let me know if this review helped! I will be updating the Pros and Cons section as my "Ridiculously Extraordinary" lifestyle develops. Good luck in all your endeavors.
