Virtual Business Lifestyle

Utilizing technology, particularly the technology available to us online and for free, is paramount for any wannabe location independent entrepreneur. There are a multitude of services and online tools out there to help you become more mobile and start to embrace your very own Virtual Business Lifestyle. Instead of listing all of them down here, I thought it would be best to let you in on the five main tools I use personally, in order to remain as virtual as possible and work in a seamless way when I am traveling, or simply ‘out of the office’.

If you’re already a subscriber of the Virtual Business Lifestyle blog (this happens automatically when you download my free eBook) you would have already received a couple of emails in relation to my new Virtual Assistant match-making service, Virtual Staff Finder, as we did a ’soft’ launch last Thursday.

In a nutshell, the service was put together to bridge the outsourcing gap between entrepreneurs that want a hard working, experienced home-based VA, but one that is selected and ‘checked out’ in a more professional way, with the entrepreneur doing pretty much nothing in the process, accept making the final ‘hire’ decision.

Imagine a life where you…

• Are rarely, if ever, sick.
• Have health care costs totaling only your preventative exams.
• Embody the physical ability and energy to do whatever you wish.
• Possess the mental courage and creativity to bring your dreams to life.

FEARLESS HEALTH is a brand new manifesto by Matt Gartland of Healthy Lifestyle Design.

Last Friday I shot this quick video (with my webcam, so quality is a little lower than usual), in regards to last week’s going-on’s. I originally thought I might just slam this up on our Facebook Fan Page, but then figured a post would get it to a larger audience – so, here you go.

It was a bit of a topsy-turvy week, and I can report that I am STILL looking for that Operation’s Manager – so, if you fancy it and have previous, relevant experience, let me know. I will bring you a little more up to date on everything this coming Friday, when my latest Monthly Report (for July) will go live.

As lifestyle designers go, my guest in this latest edition of the VBL Podcast, Cody McKibben, is a pretty cool cat. His blog, Thrilling Heroics is a thumper of a read, and although he doesnt do them nowhere near enough, his video posts are very enjoyable, shot around the world (mostly Asia) and give people the ‘real’ taste of lifestyle design that so many online surfers are looking for.

Originally from Sacramento, California, Cody is now living the internet lifestyle, working remotely from a number of different locations and consulting on anything from social media to web design and development. Our chat is an light-hearted look at lifestyle design and everything that goes along with it.
