The Edge Effect
where borders blur
The Edge Effect is an ecological phenomenon.
It happens at the border between two different ecosystems. Like the edge of the forest/grasslands.
The animals that live in these environments are more adaptive and overall successful.
The same thing happens with people.
When you travel, you see new things.
In Ireland right now there is a boom in the sauna and ice-bath industry.
People saw Wim Hoff online or heard podcasters discussing the benefits.
Maybe some travelled to Scandinavian countries and saw how saunas were operated there.
They took that business model and applied it in Ireland. Now it has taken off.
This is just one example of the Edge Effect.
When you travel or experience other countries and cultures, you come away with a different mind for opportunities.
If you change your environment locally by hanging around small business owners, you will start thinking more like a business owner.
If you listen to business podcasts, you will effectively change your environment.
Reading books, watching videos, changing jobs. These are all ways to create the edge effect in your life without the expense of travelling.
I saw people living how I wanted to live. I’ve been spending the last 3 years pursuing that. By making the commitment to travel, I saw opportunities to work online.
If you want to change your life too, you can start by changing your content diet and your environment.
The edge effect will make you adaptable and open your mind to opportunities you would miss otherwise.
Have a good week,
