⌛️目录
02:14 关于离职
首先回答两个大家最感兴趣的问题
声明1：自力并没有财务自由
未来的计划是，在深圳做一个数字游民
打工的环境很差，但创业的环境更差
大环境虽然不好，但还是看到了一些新的机会，不希望因为错过而后悔
我这个人最怕的就是在合适的时间没有去做一些合适的事情
在大厂，自己的创意得不到释放，会觉得憋屈
想要接住这泼天的富贵，必须自己掌握决策权，想要自己说了算，只能出来当个体户
比起眼前的稳定舒适，我更想要一个不那么确定，但有很多可能性的未来
一个人只要有足够的好奇心，啥玩意儿他都想掺合一下
17:18 关于数字游民
我们对数字游民的理解
跟「游」字对应的应该是「宅」字
哪有那么多说走就走的旅行，你社保还在深圳呢
对抗风险的能力本身也是个人财富的一部分
高风险高回报，但高风险也可能会带来一些伤害，我再也不想跳伞了
作为一个工作狂，我是不适合FIRE这种生活方式的
从快捷键狂魔到鼠标指针党
每个人都要想清楚自己要什么，我想要的就是继续做东西
对于自己没能参与到直播的浪潮中去感到非常可惜，不希望再错过AI
38:51 关于自媒体
如果把自媒体狭义地定义成一个带货渠道的话，自力跟其他离职博主最大的区别在于，他是有自己的「货」的
把自媒体当做一种调剂
自媒体是一种非常好的纽带，帮我跟其他人建立连接
在迎合大众和表达自我之间寻求一种平衡
