\u2018Pre-retirement\u2019<\/h1>\n

Inspiration shot September 2024<\/h3>\n<\/div>

A unique time is approaching; from December to June, I have nothing planned\u2014except for my\u00a0last writing week in Mallorca<\/a> and, of course, my\u00a0theater show<\/a>! The first few months of 2025 feel like a kind of ‘pre-retirement’,\u00a0where I can truly explore where I want to be and what I want to do, instead of following my usual (self-made) hectic travel schedule.<\/p>\n

Until then it seems like I am busier than ever. In the coming months, I will travel to Thailand, within Europe, and Peru, from conferences to retreats. And in between I will visit my father in Miami.<\/p>\n

Every month, I\u2019ll be hosting one of my online workshops for the very last time. These moments can be quite emotional when participants share why they follow me or talk about how long they’ve been my fans. I know I will really miss this.<\/p>\n

Still, my decision is firm. This month, I will write someone’s book in just one week for the first time with my new exclusive ‘Rapid Ghostwriting’ offer. From 2025 onward, this will be my sole focus.<\/p>\n

In this inspiration shot, I\u2019m sharing some useful and inspiring insights I’ve come across, which you might find helpful\u2014whether you’re planning for retirement or still in full action mode.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Exploring other worlds<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Beyond traveling between countries, it often feels like I\u2019m exploring entirely different worlds. For instance, I recently attended\u00a0\u2018Sexibility\u2019, a tantra festival<\/a>\u00a0in Sweden, and it was quite an eye-opener! Curious about what it’s like at such a festival? You can read my \u2018travel report\u2019 with plenty of personal insights through the link above!<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the journey inward takes us to unexpected places. What began as a quest to balance my masculine and feminine energies led me to deep, sometimes darker parts of myself. My second therapeutic MDMA session became\u00a0a profound journey into the heart of femininity.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>

Peace and quiet<\/h2>\n<\/div>

At my\u00a0TinyTrullo<\/a>\u00a0in Puglia, I always find peace. The pace of life slows down immediately, and living like a local in harmony with nature can be surprisingly productive.<\/p>\n

I’m currently working on an exciting new real estate project. I recently bought a beautiful old apartment in the heart of my favorite village and have completely renovated it. Now, I just need to furnish it with a mix of antique and modern pieces I\u2019ve collected over the past few months, and then it will be ready for sale. If you know anyone looking for a 2-bedroom apartment, either for themselves or as a holiday rental, let me know!<\/p>\n

Would you like to spend a month in my trullo this winter? October, November, and December are my favorite months: the weather is still wonderful, there\u2019s plenty of ripe fruit to harvest, and the pool is yours to enjoy. Whether you want to write a book, work remotely, or simply relax, my trullo could be the perfect retreat. With two bedrooms and two separate workspaces, it\u2019s also ideal for sharing. Check out my\u00a0Airbnb photos and reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The autumn holidays are still available, so you might even experience the olive harvest while you’re here!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Will AI replace me?<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Many people worry that Artificial Intelligence will take over their jobs or tasks. I prefer to see it differently and focus on the opportunities rather than the threats.\u00a0ChatGPT<\/a> is currently my most valuable productivity tool, and I discover something new about it every day. I\u2019ve even trained two AIs to think like me and uploaded all my knowledge about writing books and being a Digital Nomad. Now, you can get\u00a0free book advice<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0free digital nomad advice<\/a>\u00a0from Esther AI!<\/p>\n

Would you like to chat with me and other writers about your book in person? Sign up for the very\u00a0last live online book workshops on September 12th or November 6th<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Esther AI knows a lot, it\u2019s important to remember that you can’t always trust AI 100% for critical decisions. Want to make sure you’re taking the right step? Then join my very last\u00a0live online Digital Nomad workshop<\/a>\u00a0on September 18th.<\/p>\n

Interested in learning more about chatGPT?<\/a>\u00a0My final Digital Delegation workshop is on October 16th.<\/p>\n

As soon as you register for one of the live online workshops, you will receive a series of videos that you can dive into right away. During the live online workshop, I will answer any remaining questions and help each participant to take a step further.<\/p>\n<\/div>

UNIQUE ADVERTISING<\/h3>\n

Who would have thought that Mercedes would be represented by… a chicken?<\/p>\n

Yet, a chicken has unique qualities that Mercedes wants to be associated with\u2026<\/p>\n

I can only imagine the discussion at the advertising agency when they pitched this idea. Would you have dared?<\/p>\n<\/div>
