Being a digital nomad is the best lifestyle choice I could have ever picked for myself. I’ve been living this laptop lifestyle for nearly a year now and it has been nothing short of amazing from the very beginning. One of my favorite aspects of it is being able to stay wherever I want for as long as I want without having to have any time constraints on how long I take to discover the places I’ve been. I like to feel like I live wherever I am and really make myself feel at home in every location I stay in because essentially as a digital nomad, my home is where my laptop is. It's way different from the corporate grind where you’re always counting down the days till your next vacay. As a nomad, you are the boss of your time. Wanna chill somewhere for a few months? Go for it! Found a spot you love unexpectedly? Stay as long as you want!
Being on the road gives you an incredible level of flexibility. With time you learn to roll with what comes at you and jump into opportunities like a pro. Plus, you level up faster than if you were stuck in one place. Your business becomes your sidekick, tagging along with you wherever you roam. You adapt, you innovate, and you break free from the norm.
Now, not every business is cut out for this lifestyle. If your gig ties you down to one spot or needs a bunch of inventory, it’s going to slow you down. Take it from my days wrapping items in poly mailer bags to fulfill customer orders; it's all about keeping things simple! That's why I teamed up with Viable View, an Ai which functions as an opportunity finder using top competitor data to help you identify your next best selling product. Check out this super comprehensive demo video to see how it works.
First things first, before you dive in, find your passion and prioritize your pleasures. Whether it’s a product, a digital dream, or a new hobby, map out your goals and get hyped up about what makes you tick. When it comes to mind-mapping and brainstorming a plan to develop my best ideas, I run to websites like Figma.com. This is where I can turn all my ideas and desires into a straightforward plan of action. For me, I love diving and being in the water, so I made sure my business setup gave me a level of time flexibility that allows me to have access to areas around the world where the coral are plentiful and the dive-sites are miraculous.
One of the next most important aspects of running a successful business is building the right team of people who connect with your mindset and are excited to take part in the achievement of your mission. Sure, it can be nerve-wracking handing over the reins, but trust me, it’s worth it! The Monday app has become an integral and user-comprehensive platform for me and my team! It is the best for keeping the organization and flow of the team’s work all in one place. Consider it something like your own mobile office building where everyone has their own space and ability to connect with each other while keeping focus on their own tasks and goals at hand.
A final detail which I cannot forget to mention: When you’re living the nomad life, you must expect curveballs! Wi-Fi headaches, routine struggles, and the quest for community are all part of the ride. Little things like not having the right power converter for your technology devices can create big problems for you down the road. There’s a quote my brother likes to preach to me which has become a mantra throughout my travels as it reigns increasingly true by the day;
“If you fail to plan then you plan to fail” -Benjamin Franklin
Keep all of these in mind and with a little hustle plus heart, you'll find your groove wherever you roam.
