Traveling CEO: How I Make Money & Travel the World

so over the last eight weeks I've traveled to six different cities primarily just carrying my computer and a small suitcase so that poses the question how can I travel to all these cities while still running and growing my business well that's what we're going to discuss right here so I just came back from Paris today and I was sitting on the plane just thinking how grateful and lucky I am that I get to travel to all these cool and interesting places while still being able to run manage and grow my business pretty much just from

my computer so that got me thinking how can I relay some of the principles I've learned to help you guys out now we live in such a cool world where literally if you want to run a six-figure seven-figure maybe even eight figure business you can pretty much do that all digitally you can travel the world while doing that and me myself I'm living proof of that maybe not the seven figure a figure boundary but definitely six figures which is pretty cool as I said over the last six weeks I've been to Paris Amsterdam my York

Ahmad rid San Tropez and Brussels so six different cities plenty of traveling a lot of it for work a lot of it for fun but nonetheless when you're traveling for work is that really work so let's get back to the point I have structured my business accordingly this isn't something that just comes out of the blue no one just gives you the opportunity to travel while still earning good money it's something that you have to consciously structure and you're gonna have to say no to a lot of things so to me it comes down to

one big concept and that is begin with the end in mind it's a Stephen Covey principle so right now what I need you to do and what I had to do is get clarity as to what do you actually want in life because if you look online and on social media one page is telling you to just travel and have fun and forget about money or building a business and then the other one is telling you to scale get offices get employees both routes are really cool but you have to think about what is best

suited to you at your current stage what if you're comfortable with so for example with me I know that if I got offices and I started payrolling that I could easily take my marketing agency to seven figures by the end of next year and I know that but I also know the amount of sacrifice the amount of work it would take so I've had to say no to a lot of things and although it's cool it's cool to say you made seven figures this year and what cost does it come to a lawyer you guys

know I'm 17 years old I don't need that sort of pressure that's a stress of this age for the next three or four years I want to continue living so like this laptop lifestyle and are really being tied down so that's me personally I've established that you all know that hand you may be a bit older your financial goals might be a lot higher than mine and in that case you're probably going to have to put infrastructure you're probably going to settle down in one place and if that's the case that's fine but for those

of you that do you want to travel while also having a good life we get to the first issue which is obviously money now if you're looking at travel you're gonna have to find a vehicle now what a vehicle is for example for me digital marketing is my vehicle now luckily digital marketing as I said you you can easily go to seven eight maybe even nine figures and it's something that's all done online so you don't really need to be tied down to a place but digital marketing is my vehicle I'm passionate about it I

love it and it lets me travel and also make a very good living while I'm at it now with you a vehicle might be trading stocks maybe you want to be an influencer you're growing your blog your youtube your newsletter whatever it may be and that's sustaining you and letting you travel for example if you decide to start a course and you do it right so you get a good mailing list you utilize YouTube you run some Facebook Ads you get some affiliates involved I have friends who have made multiple six figures just from a

course and that means they can travel they can teach online and that that is their vehicle so they said maybe you might want to trade stocks maybe you might want to come up with a course maybe you want to go down Myra which is digital marketing maybe you want to go down the route of e-commerce and those crazy people just crushing it when it comes to drop shipping FBA all this sort of stuff till you're a content creator you can actually build exclusivity from the fact you travel so much so for example say you go

to Paris and is there for three months you can actually announce that on your social media say look guys I'm only here for three months if you want a content made etc etc then move to New York and then after that Amsterdam whatever it may be my point is you have to find the correct vehicle and I hate to say this right now if you are a doctor it's not going to happen I'm sorry because you just don't have the correct vehicle in place to get you the sort of lifestyle that I'm talking about right

now but if you're stuck to a place pretty much a few work for someone it makes it extremely hard to live the sort of lifestyle that I'm talking about so we have the vehicle number two you have to Logistics for example for me the challenge has been how do I grow my marketing agency when I'm barely in London I don't have offices I don't payroll I just work with a team of amazing amazing freelancers but you you see the barriers there so with me the conclusion that I've come to is that with my marketing agency

there is a cap that I can get to so for example with me I think it'll be around 7 figures so I still have a long long way to go till I get there but least I'm not sitting here thinking that we're going to make a hundred million from a marketing agency when it's incongruent with the lifestyle I want to live so it's just something I've come to terms with and with that understanding I'm looking at other sources of income which you should be doing nonetheless from starting a build up those other sources of income

so rather than say seven figures in one vehicle I could be making a quarter of a million in four different vehicles so say you're a content creator for example there are companies if you're good that are going to be like look we want to put you on a retainer basis we want you here we want you creating content for us on a weekly basis and at first you might be like this is ridiculous of course I'll go for it but if your heart is set on traveling and you accept this offer you're basically just selling

your soul and I think that's the hardest part just saying no and knowing when to say no because if you're good at something it gets to a point where you're no longer looking for those cool opportunities you're actually having to say no to them and you no longer have to worry about more interesting opportunities coming through your door your pipeline is pretty much almost full so as I said the biggest challenge that you're going to have to face and I've had to face myself is just knowing when to say no this is that when that

company wants to pay you 2,000 a month five thousand months ten thousand a month retainer and you're looking at those numbers and going this is ridiculous but it means you don't get to live the sort of lifestyle you want trust me it's hard to say no but saying no is the only way you're going to truly be fulfilled and truly be happy so there are a lot of other little nuances that go on in my head but those are two main questions number one do I have a vehicle set in place so that I can

actually afford to travel while also living a good lifestyle and number two what are the logistics how am I actually going to make this happen how am I going to ensure that I'm not tied down to a place or F my business is tied down to a place I've got someone managing it I've got a good team around me to handle it so I hope you enjoyed this video if you did leave it like it means the world to me as I said I'm trying to upload more things have been super super hectic the past

two months obviously with all the traveling with a business score on quite quick so I really appreciate all the support even like and also let me know where should I travel to next you know if they get the trouble of not enough concerned of my heart
