“Men, we need to have a real conversation. This isn’t just about being a ‘passport bro’ or a ‘passport king.’ For me, this journey began at 8 years old. Shout out to my dad, who took the leap and left America when he was young, setting the path. And to my mom, who, despite what others might think, didn’t stop me from stepping on that plane alone from Kansas City, Missouri, to Lagos, Nigeria. That trip changed everything.
It opened my eyes to a truth that so many don’t get until later in life: racism, the kind that keeps you boxed in mentally and emotionally, is mostly an American or Western export. But coming back? Oh, the kids weren’t kind. They’d throw stuff like, ‘You back from Nigger-ia?’ But here’s the thing, they couldn’t take my experience. I had already tasted freedom.
For those of you tired of political chaos, whether you lean Republican, Democrat, or are just tired of it all—there’s a way out. Today, I’m breaking down 10 steps for leaving ‘Plantation America’ and reclaiming your freedom. Whether it’s for a season or forever, these steps will set you up to live on your own terms.”
Step 1: Get your passport. This is the most important document you’ll need. Without it, you’re stuck. Don’t wait until the time feels perfect; take that first step now.
Step 2: Choose a place that fits your goals. Look into safety, cost of living, and local culture. The better you prepare, the smoother your landing.
Step 3: Set up your budget. Know what you’ll need, and make sure your finances align with your chosen country’s cost of living.
Step 4: Secure remote work or passive income. Don’t rely on finding a job overseas; secure work you can do from anywhere or have income streams like investments or digital products.
Step 5: Learn the basics of the language and culture. This will help you integrate smoothly and show respect.
Step 6: Build your community before you even land. Social media groups and expat forums are gold for advice and making friends.
Step 7: Book short-term housing. This gives you time to explore and decide where you’d like to settle long-term.
Step 8: Get a bank account that supports international use. Ensure your money is accessible without big fees.
Step 9: Insurance isn’t optional. Health, travel, and emergency coverage will keep you secure.
Step 10: Outsource everything. Whether it’s managing your business or handling day-to-day responsibilities, set up systems that work without you. This is how you break free from the rat race. My eBook, Outsource Everything, has all the steps you need to set this up.
Men, you deserve this. No matter your political stance, remember: true freedom is waiting for you. Don’t wait for a system to change—take action and live life on your terms.
