It just means you can. It’s your business, your life, your choice.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When people hear the word “nomad,” they instinctively picture a backpacker in their 20s living out of a rucksack. They imagine a chaotic existence of moving to a new city every four days, working on a laptop with spotty Wi-Fi in a noisy hostel, and constantly searching for a power outlet. This image doesn’t fit the senior professional who has spent decades earning the right to comfort and stability.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We need to discard the idea of “Nomadic travel” in favour of “multi-basing,” which is the adult version of location independence. Instead of drifting endlessly, you can opt to establish two or three fixed points on the map where you are not a tourist, but <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">at least for a while<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, a resident.&nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You might have a summer base in Northern Europe and a winter base in Southern Europe or Southeast Asia, giving you the ability to follow the sun or the tax advantages of a global business, without sacrificing your infrastructure. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once you have the clients, the&nbsp; bases and the technology, you face the most important question of all:<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What do you actually want your days to look like?&nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For 30 years, you have fit your life around your work, waking up when the alarm told you to and taking holidays only when the corporate calendar permitted.&nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, you fit the work around your life.&nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is not just a slogan; it’s an operational reality of the Executive Nomad model. When you strip away the commute, the politics, and the face-time, you are left with pure delivery, and you might find that you can deliver your named service in 10 to 15 hours of deep work a week.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This changes the texture of your existence, delivering three specific dividends:<ul style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -13.5pt; padding-left: 4.5pt;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Elimination of Sunday Night Dread:<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> That familiar knot in your stomach at 6:00 PM on a Sunday, caused by the anticipation of the week’s friction, simply stops happening. You are no longer preparing for battle or political infighting; you are preparing to deploy your expertise on your own terms.</li><li aria-level="1" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -13.5pt; padding-left: 4.5pt;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Regaining of Permission:<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> As an Executive Nomad, you grant your own permission. If you want to take a walk on a Tuesday morning because the sun is shining, you do it, because you are paid for outcomes rather than for sitting in a chair from 9 to 5.</li><li aria-level="1" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -13.5pt; padding-left: 4.5pt;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Access to Geographic Arbitrage:<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> This is the financial superpower of the nomad. By earning in a strong currency and living in a calm, cost-effective location, you accelerate your financial freedom. You are no longer running on the hedonistic treadmill of the big city, where every pay rise is immediately swallowed by lifestyle inflation, allowing you to keep the margin.</li></ul><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This life is available, but it’s not automatic, as it requires you to make a conscious decision to design it. You have to be willing to say “no” to the high-status job offer that requires you to be in the office 5 days a week, and you have to be willing to restructure your environment. Most importantly, you have to accept that you are no longer defined by where you go to work, but by the value you send out into the world.&nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Geography is a choice. You can stay in your current home and simply work differently, move to the coast, or split your time between two countries. The point is not <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">where<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> you are. The point is that <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">you<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> decide.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;IBM Plex Serif&quot;, serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Work designed correctly changes what is possible next. You have the time, the location, and the authority. The final piece of the puzzle is ensuring that this freedom is funded not just for next month, but for the long term. If your knowledge compounds, where should you focus it? How do you move beyond selling projects to building an engine that generates revenue even when you are walking on the beach?

I want to be clear: Executive Nomad doesn’t mean you must travel with your business. It just means you can. It’s your business, your life, your choice.
