If you want to travel while working on your business in 2024, read this.
How I built my company to $8.7M/year while traveling the world and doing what I love:
Let me set the scene.
I own two companies that make me $8.7 million a year - all while I travel the world and live a life I love living.
But 10 years ago, I was chained to my business, stressed, and near-suicidal.
How did I turn things around?
It all started with my degree at Ivey Business School.
I was excited to learn about a life of freedom…
Turns out business school doesn’t prepare you for a life of autonomy at all.
But backpacking Europe & Asia after graduation opened me up to a whole new world.
The sights, the smells, the cultures…
I realized I had to make travel part of my lifestyle.
My goal became controlling the 4 Ws - Work Where, When, With Whom & on What I want.
I didn’t know it fully at the time, but this is the foundation of a life of true autonomy.
Fast forward a few years, and I forgot all that.
I hustled for years on businesses that burned me out.
I neglected my health, time, and energy. Most importantly, my businesses depended on me.
I was chained. Most entrepreneurs are.
How to get out:
Find Your Ikigai
Ikigai = your reason for being
Find where your passion, skills, and values align with the world’s needs.
Mine lies at the intersection of systems, founders, and automation.
It’s how I aligned my life with what truly brought me joy, not what brought me money.
Automate, Eliminate, Delegate
Don’t automate what can be eliminated. Never delegate what can be automated.
This system allowed me to get out of the grind and travel without needing to be around 24/7.
Now I focus purely on high-level strategy while my team handles the rest.
Set My Audience on Fire
I grew my brand to millions by journaling online.
An army of raving fans is the ultimate form of leverage. You gain the ability to create, share, and monetize wherever you are in the world.
What’s second nature to you is gold dust to the next.
Focused on Adding Massive Value
Financial freedom was never the end goal. I wanted my work to bring real meaning.
I got clear on my calling in life:
Helping 100 million founders accomplish their dreams.
This mission, alone, is never-ending fuel for my fire.
Everyday Retirement
“Retirement is when you stop sacrificing today for an imaginary tomorrow.” - Naval Ravikant
I found freedom by creating systems, removing the unessential, and taking care of my health.
Now, conventional retirement is my worst nightmare.
I still work daily, but it feels like play because my work aligns with purpose.
I found my sweet spot, and learned that slow progress defeats no progress.
I control my schedule to focus 4 hours daily on my zone of genius, and get to travel the world while doing it.
The world is my office and experiences in nature keep me inspired.
Business need not drain you; it can free and fill you - if architected for your joy.
And if you take one thing from this…
NEVER trade your health and happiness for success.
