Jera Value@Jera_ValueWhy is Switzerland a saver’s paradise? ·

🇨🇭 Why is Switzerland a saver’s paradise?

Imagine this: - High salaries. Earn more without having to sell a kidney. - Low taxes. Less for the government, more in your pocket. - Economic stability. No surprises, no drama. - Quality of life.…

    What takes you 10 years to save in Spain, you can save here in 5 or less.

    The key?

    💰 Enviable salaries. People here aren’t earning minimum wage. We’re talking numbers that let you save without living on rice and water.

  2. 3

    The question is: Would you move for an opportunity like this?

    Because, let’s be real, it’s not all perfect. It’s cold, cheese is expensive, and there’s no beach. But if what you’re looking for is to save and live peacefully, Switzerland is the place for you.

    What about you? Would you trade the sun for a Swiss salary? 🏔️💸

What happened to me this week?

🗞️ Find My Moat has passed the milestone of 10,000+ unique users (and almost 30,000 visits)

So, what’s next? 👇

Jera Value@Jera_ValueMy first €1,000 online ·

The first €1,000 you make online feels better than the first €20,000 from an office job.

There are very few things I understand with absolute certainty, but I hold on to one small, powerful truth: action cures ignorance.

Jera Value@Jera_ValueThe tyranny of the second brain ·

The tyranny of the second brain.

Everyone wants one. Notion. Obsidian. Roam. The perfect system for capturing every idea.

The promise is seductive: you’ll never forget anything. Everything connected. Exponential knowledge.

But nobody tells you the cost.

Jera Value@Jera_ValueHow do you escape the 9-to-5 when you earn €1,000? ·

🤔 How do you escape the 9-to-5 when you earn €1,000?

If people knew how close they are to making more money without changing jobs, there’d be fewer complaints and more people building things.

    Since you were a kid, they’ve always sat you in the same place: the stands.

    ❋ Study, get a stable job, get paid at the end of the month ❋ Spend that money on stuff: clothes, trips, treats, gadgets ❋ “Risk” is bad, comfort is good

  2. 3

    From the stands, your brain only thinks about:

    ❋ Do I like it or not ❋ Can I afford it or not ❋ Do I deserve it or not

    That’s it. Money goes out and disappears. You don’t ask who’s on the field or why they’re the ones keeping score.

  3. 4

    When you step onto the field, the questions change:

    ❋ Who makes money on this play ❋ Why are they paying that person and not someone else ❋ What problem is this product solving ❋ What role could I play in this same game

    Same world, same stadium, but you’re no longer watching from the cheap seats. You’re in the game.

  4. 5

    Silly example, but real:

    Stands: “The gym is so expensive, €60 a month, what a rip-off.”

    Field: ❋ How many members do they have ❋ How much rent are they paying ❋ Why is there always a line at 7 p.m. ❋ What premium service could they offer but don’t ❋ How could I capture a piece of that stream of people

    Same scene, different role.

  5. 6

    Just so you know, this isn’t just about “starting businesses.”

    It’s about stopping being the person who always pays without understanding the rules and starting to put yourself, even a little, on the side that gets paid.

    You can do it as a: ❋ Freelancer ❋ Side project ❋ Info product ❋ Sponsored newsletter ❋ Niche tool, template, script, whatever

  6. 7

    How do you go from the stands to the field if you’ve never played?

    It’s not a gift, it’s training. Like going to the gym.

    Getting a little better, step by step.

    Try. Fail. Learn. Try. Fail. Learn. Try. Fail. Learn. Try. Fail. Learn. Try. Succeed.

  7. 8

    When you start seeing the world this way, you’ll get a little pissed off.

    You’ll realize you spent years in the stands, cheering and paying for tickets, while other people played and took home the prize.

    That’s called cognitive dissonance. And it hurts.
