The why of work.

survival - the first thing is to survive. It means that you have enough money or stream of money so you can pay your rent and food and live a dignified life. Which is at bare minimum would be 25K. Shove comes to push you can go to even 10-15k.

The second level of survival would be a comfortable life. Having a decent apartment. Acccess to cowork. Access to cafes. And mindfit. Being able to travel to Chang mai. Without worried about micro money management. The way I lived from last 5 years.

The third level is that I don’t need to think of money weather it is going to USA. Europe, taking course on GLP. Recording equipment.

freedom - working for someone is compromising freedom. Now you can not go and do Vipassana. If the survival is on the line, it makes sense to compromise the freedom. It is not having control over your actions.

The fundamental nature of work is to bring value in other peoples life, and a bussiness is fundamentally a platform, so even if you are working for yourself, it is going to involve some degree of commitments. Instead of time if you can commit the product, like a course you have a better control.

meanigful expression - once you have sercured survival and freedom, you can actually utilize the resources in more meaningful expression and projects. As a scaling stretagy.
