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!!!
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 [...]
Do you remember when you were young, when your parents and often your school would teach you about “stranger danger?” This would be something along the lines of… Don’t accept anything from strangers… Don’t go with or follow strangers… Don’t trust strangers, etc… When we grow up we easily forget. Question is… Should we?
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..?
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…
Corbett Barr has fast become one of my closest buddies online. There’s a few reasons for this… Firstly, he is a super-nice guy with a genuine friendly, helpful demeanor. Secondly, he is a very, VERY smart entrepreneur that came from a corporate background, like myself (so we have plenty in common!), and lastly because he [...]
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 [...]
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…
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…
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…
As I get closer and closer to my own goal this year, I came across someone recently that set her own goal in place—and it’s a real special one! I contacted Jenny Leonard and 3 weeks later I had her on a call for the VBL Podcast, as I believe her story is an awesome [...]
Mobile entrepreneurship is on the rise. More and more business owners nowadays are not wanting to be stuck behind a desk, or in the same office everyday. Times are changing. However, for todays guest, my good friend and creator of The Anywhere Office, Phil Montero, this has been the way of doing business for years and [...]
I have three awesome kids. I genuinely love being a Dad. But, if I was to be honest, I have missed out on a few things. Kick-starting my career as a young professional, working several jobs to pay the rent, creating my own businesses, building those businesses… It takes its toll. However, all that is [...]
Number of Days in the Office: 7, Total Number of Employees: 212 Ah… It’s good to be back! October was a whirlwind of a month, I must say. Above you’ll find a little (4mins) montage of my trip to the USA. I actually have a TON of footage I shot over there this time around, [...]
So, I’m off to the US in a couple of days and thought it might be cool to shoot a quick video of my Mobile Office this time around. If you checked out the same type of video I shot back in February this year, before my first trip to the US in 2010, you’ll [...]
Number of Days in the Office: 19, Total Number of Employees: 211 This month literally flew by – faster than any other this year, without a doubt. And, if I was to be really honest, I probably worked harder and longer hours this month than I have over the entire year, too. People have even [...]
I’ve been an entrepreneur, my own boss, for close to 10 years now. Living an entrepreneurial lifestyle isn’t as easy, however, as a lot of people think it is. Sure, you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want, with who you want and to work on whatever you like, whenever you [...]
In October I will be traveling quite a bit, and I thought it would be fun to basically not have to think about the blog all that much for this month and focus on the traveling, the meetings, the expo I’m checking out (BlogWorld in Vegas) and hanging out with clients and friends, instead. So, [...]
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 [...]
