I was recently in San Diego hanging out with my buddy, Pat Flynn, for a few days. Here’s a true story from that trip… Ever been sitting in a hotel lobby using the free wifi connection, only to have a complete stranger listen in on your conversation? Make you mad…? Next time, don’t get mad. Make money!!!
November 3rd, 2011 was a special day… I had the pleasure of speaking at the biggest annual blogging, social media, podcasting and new media summit in the world – BlogWorld Expo, in LA. It was another fantastic event, so I thought I’d show you a few photos and tell you a little more about it all…
In this episode of the VBL Podcast I finally catch up with online buddy and location independent entrepreneur, Sean Ogle. We discuss the finer points of international travel, setting up and running virtual businesses and his new online coaching program, Location Rebel. Check it out!
This post by Michelle Dale, is part of ‘VBL Guest Post Season 2′. Many of you would have heard about the “4 Hour Work Week,” and for many it’s pretty much impossible to keep on top of personal email and general business in 4 hours a week, let alone making that the extent of the [...]
Over the last couple of years, I’ve become more and more virtual as time has gone by. And I’ve loved every minute of it. So, I thought it would be a good idea to create a small selection of tips and tactics for everyone to follow to become a little more virtual in the way they attack business from a day to day basis! Enjoy…
Many of us think of implementing change within our lives, however the action of doing this comes easier to some than others. I appreciate that most people will have more ideal circumstances, but have you ever considered that they created their own circumstances, were the master of their own destiny, and overcame limitations..?
This is a Guest Post from Phil Montero Creating an effective virtual or mobile office is not as easy as choosing one service or “software” that makes your business mobile. It requires choosing different services to handle your needs and finding ways to integrate them into your workflow. Phone, mail, fax, online document storage, sharing [...]

So, over the last few weeks you’ve seen a few videos featuring myself and Dan Andrews, of TropicalMBA.com fame, talking about the VBL Core4 concepts… Namely, Entrepreneurship, Passive Income, Outsourcing, and now today – in the final installment – we tackle the final subject of Super Mobility…
Baker’s story is unbelievable. He was ridiculously in debt – to the tune of well over $70,000. He and his wife literally sold everything, paid off their consumer debt (leaving just student loans) and moved to Australia with his family for a year to start getting their lives in order. Today, he explains why and how they did it…
Entrepreneurs are a strange breed. We have an idea a minute popping into our heads and a lot of the time we ‘make plans’, but actually don’t really get anywhere. The fact of the matter is that the very essence of being an entrepreneur is to START THINGS. Get things moving, build momentum and make a difference…
When it comes to living a seriously extreme lifestyle, on your own terms and making the most of every second available to you, and a travel schedule, there aren’t many people out there that does it better than todays guest (or is it latest victim!) – Colin Wright from ExileLifestyle.com. Colin and I only really [...]
Today we have the beginning of a 4-part video series with fellow virtual entrepreneur and business owner, Dan Andrews. Dan produced over $800,000 in revenue – virtually – for his businesses last year, so he has a few things to say that demand you to stand up and pay attention. We also have a LOT of ‘fun’ in this clip, too..!
One of the most amazing things about technology today is the great mobility it provides us. Smartphones, tablets, netbooks and laptops let us work anywhere we want. We grab our data, email, and calendars from the cloud and we can be productive anywhere anytime – but are you truly taking advantage of this potential set-up…?
Here’s the deal… I’ve experimented a lot on this blog. Written posts, audio / podcast posts, I’ve shot videos from all over the world and posted articles from more cities than I can remember! And I’ve had a blast doing it all. However, the is one very important, very BIG change on the horizon for the VBL Blog…
Over the course of the VBL’s lifespan, we’ve enjoyed steady growth. However, its been the last 4-6 months that has been awesome! The fact is, however, that a lot of people that have ‘found’ the blog in that time frame probably haven’t even looked through the archives. So, with todays post, you have no excuses…!
When I travel on business its tough to not see and hear your family all the time, like you do when you’re back at home. The power of Skype (possibly the most used piece of software for any virtual entrepreneur – easily for me!) makes keeping in touch with family so much easier. Plus, its 100% free to use..!
I’ve lived in Asia for ten years and I have never been to Singapore. Insane, I know. So, a 4-day trip was planned, we left the little one with his grandparents and we were off! Here’s my 5min video diary of the trip, complete with a running commentary of the places we checked out. It was an awesome trip! Hope you enjoy it…
What is mobility? By definition, mobility is the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. With the internet, mobility has allowed individuals to take their work anywhere. It’s ultimately what the Virtual Business Lifestyle is all about, packing up within 4 hours notice and knowing you have access to your work anywhere…
I’m now starting my travels for the next few weeks, and this chat with Karol Gajda and Matt Gartland seems fitting to finally hit the airwaves from my not-yet-published archive! We discuss the finer points of world travel, making money on the go, and staying healthy to maximize the benefits of a nomadic lifestyle…
