Once you enter abroad, especially countries with high currency like 🇨🇦 Canada, 🇬🇧 the United Kingdom, or 🇺🇸 the United States, something happens in your brain the first time you get paid per hour. 🗺️Work in Canada
You look at your payslip and realize, “Wait… so if I work more hours, I make more of this?” And from that moment, your mindset shifts. You start thinking in numbers.
“If I stay home today, I make nothing. But if I go to work, that’s £150.”
Then the conversion thought sneaks in. “So that’s like 200k… or 300k.”© Lisa Agu
And that’s how it starts. The back-to-back shifts. The double jobs. The ‘no time to rest’ lifestyle.
It’s not because people don’t know better. It’s because the math feels too sweet to ignore.
But here’s the truth, if you’re not careful, that same sweet rush will burn you out. I’ve seen it happen.
People who came in full of energy, now struggling with health issues, stress, and exhaustion.
I’m all for growth. I’m all for building back home. But I’m also a strong believer in balance. © Lisa Agu
Care for yourself while you care for others. Send money home, yes, but don’t send all of yourself in the process.
Because if anything happens to you, everything you’re working for pauses instantly.
Rest is also part of the hustle. © Lisa Agu
