My TO DO LIST Post-Lockdown

I remember one of the first things that I learned about GOAL SETTING was, "If you don't write it down, there is a slim chance that it will happen", hence the purpose for this post! =) Have you heard of this? Do you agree?

Currently based in the Philippines, we have been on a mandatory lockdown since March 14th, I can't believe that it's been that long! I totally understand the premise behind the strict rules, and if it can keep my family safe, I will most definitely listen to the EXPERTS! With that aside, I also feel that things are piling up on my TO DO LIST, and with my personality-type being very "picky" and organized, I am just getting a bit ance. =)

With that being said, I've already been thinking about all the things that need to be done post-lockdown. Some of the details on the list are things that have been delayed due to the Coronavirus Outbreak, so I'll be starting with those things first. Do you think it's a good idea to create a list for this sort of thing? =) Have you already done this?

Free Trial for the Netflix of Fitness - Start your Fitness Journey today!

I posted a quick list on my facebook page about a week ago, so this is just a more detailed version. Hope you don't get too bored! Here goes:

1.  Extend my Visa - According to the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines, all foreign nationals (like me) who were here when the lockdown started and could not leave, all fines and penalties will be waived granted that you are qualified within the said dates during the lockdown. Anyways, I have 30 days after they have lifted the lockdown to pay for my visa extension for a few months (Since April). After 30 days, fines and penalties will be implemented.

2.  Visit Bicol Philippines - After I have taken care of my Visa Extension fees, I will be going to Bicol Philippines. As most of you know, this is where my fiancé Arlene and our daughter Penelope is from. We plan to visit and make sure that Arlene's family is ok. Another reason is to help Arlene's niece prepare for high school. She normally walks to her elementary school, but her high school is much further, and from my understanding, her father is not in a place where he is able to pay for the transport costs to her school on a weekly basis. Arlene and I decided that we will purchase a bicycle for her, as well as take on the responsibility of helping her with some transport costs when biking to school is not an option due to weather etc. I would like to add that Arlene's niece is super smart, and it would be a waste if she is not able to further her education. There are a lot of children in the Philippines in this situation whereas the parents cannot afford their education and the costs that come with it, so the kids end up quitting school and working for pennies. The children go on and never reach their full potential and live in poverty for the rest of their lives, its a vicious cycle. Now I know that I cannot help everyone, but I also know that everyone can help one person, and this is how making an impact works. I see a lot of potential in Arlene's niece, and hope my decisions will ultimately help her family with a better future.

3.  Go back to the USA - Since the lockdown the economy has gone to crap. People have been struggling, businesses have gone bankrupt, and unfortunately many people have died. Almost everyone has been affected one way or the other due to this Coronavirus Outbreak, including myself. My purpose for going back to the USA is first, see my family, and secondly, work on some projects that I have missed due to the lockdown. I won't go into detail on my projects but most will be video projects. I plan to spend roughly a little over a month in the USA before heading back to the Philippines.

4.  OCRTUBE.com - This basically is connected with my trip to the USA, but since the lockdown, I have missed many global opportunities for filming video projects for my OCRTUBE.com initiative. There have been many companies that I've worked with who have cancelled a lot of their events in 2020 because of this crisis, so the goal is to reconnect with some of the companies and see what I can do to help them get back on their feet with my video production services. This is a scary part for me as most of these events bring together masses of people together which would be impossible to follow any form of social distancing, so I will have to play this by ear, and take only projects that I feel is safe for me and my family. I may have to focus on one-on-one projects such as single athlete documentaries etc. for the time being.

5.  New Youtube Channel - I won't go into specifics on this one, but I have been in the works of a new and EXCITING youtube channel that will focus on travel exploration and giving back (two things that have been a huge priority since day one). Some of you know about my other channel "Lagalag Mafia", which focuses on my family stuff. Yes, I will continue uploading on that channel but it will not be as active on a weekly basis. The Lagalag Mafia channel was always more of a personal channel, so this new channel will be more business-focused, and not specific to my family endeavors (although my family will be with me anyways). Videos on this new channel will be uploaded multiple times per week. I plan to spend most of my time post-lockdown building this channel, so this will be my biggest project in 2020. More to come =)

My main Camera I use

6.  Arlene and Baby Pippa - Another huge priority is to start working on the paperwork to eventually bring my fiancé and daughter Penelope (we call her Pippa) to the USA. The main reason for this is for Arlene to meet the rest of my family, and for my family to finally meet Baby Pippa. But the biggest and most exciting part about all of this is to have a family reunion with two of my daughters (Lauren and Penelope) together (for the FIRST TIME) along with Arlene and I. This will be like a DREAM COME TRUE for me. This will definitely be the HIGHLIGHT of the year, and the time when you will see me really cry like a baby!

7.  Help One Person Per Month Start an Online Business - Although this is nothing new to me since I've been doing this for over 10 years now, I plan to continue doing this as a way of giving back, but on the NEXT LEVEL.  Not everyone can handle the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur, so I plan to really focus on only the serious people who qualify to a certain criteria that I have created. The reality is, I am very busy as is everyone else. My family is my number one, so I would like to spend as much time with them as possible, which means that if someone is just BS'ing me about wanting to become an entrepreneur, but not willing to do the work, it's just a huge waste of time for me. I have accumulated a lot of wisdom and online business strategies during the years, so I would like to help others get out of the rut that I was once in. If you are reading this, and you would like a new fresh start without all the BS, then feel free to message me, and let's test the waters! Join my inner-circle, message me directly here.

8.  Stay healthy - This is easier said than done. We all would like to be happy, healthy and fit, but it does take some effort. And with the wrong people in your life, this will be even more of a struggle. It has always been about surrounding myself with the right people who support my vision, so with that....I have created a number of online groups for me to stay even more connected with like-minded people like me. You know what they say, "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with". These are the people who will shape your future. How do you keep it simple? I recommend spending time with people who are smarter than you, have more money than you, people who challenge you and only want the best for you. This is a big part of my life, as if I am not challenged, I cannot get better. Do you agree? Would you like to be more happy, more healthy, and have more financial success? Me too! =)

The Pros and Cons of Working from Home

I have been based in the Philippines for a little over a year now starting a new family, but before that, I was pretty nomadic and working remotely all over the world. Did I love it?

The answer is yes! Working remotely around the world gave me a sense of freedom, and the ability to explore a new place excitingly different from where I was from, which is the the USA. I did this for many, many years, and was able to experience so much. The friendships, bonds, and memories that I made along the way are priceless. But doing remote work and working from home are two different things, at least for me it is.

Co working in Changsha International Airport - China

Although working from home might be considered remote work from that typical office type of atmosphere, it is quite different in the sense that traveling is pretty much left out. Yes, you can travel, but becoming a nomad at home is not the same as being a nomad all over the planet. Do I like my new life working from home? Let me share the pros and cons of working from home from my experience.

THE PROS:

1.  Non-Corporate/Political - Not having to deal with the stress of a corporate environment or the politics from co workers and superiors makes working from home a lot more productive and healthy.

2.  Family - The ability to stay home and be with family is like a dream come true for many including myself. As long as you can find balance, and create your own space for family and work, this is a real positive.

3.  Own Schedule - You can create your own hours, and not be bothered with someone else telling you when to work. If you want to take a break, you do it on your own terms.

4.  Saves Money - Working from home and not having to go out to eat can save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars per year. Why pay over $5 for a coffee at Starbucks when you can make your own at home for under a $1.

5.  Comfortable - Home is where the heart is. You can work at home in your pajamas, you don't have to wear make up, you don't have to try to impress anyone. Home is a place where you can always be yourself.

HOW MUCH MONEY I MAKE

THE CONS

1.  Distractions - This is one of the biggest cons if you are not careful. Sometimes being able to work from home and be with family can also hurt you. I don't know how many times I had to stop working because I wanted to hug my little baby. Although there is nothing wrong with that, but from a business-building perspective, its just not productive. At home there are a lot of things going on: friends coming over, family watching TV and talking to you while you are working, the list goes on. If you are easily distracted, this will be a tough obstacle for you to overcome.

2.  Productivity - Yes, you can make up your own hours, and yes you have the freedom to take your own breaks, but that can hurt you too. Most people who work from home tend to take a lot more breaks then they would from the office or a job environment. In order to stay productive at home, I recommend having the work mindset that you would have working from your job at the office etc, or else you will have a tough time getting work done. I'm guilty of this =)

3.  Office Space - People tend to be more productive if they are in the right atmosphere. It is tough to get things done when you are working on a couch in front of the TV, it's just not a working environment. For success, it's recommended to create your own office space at home. If its the kitchen, let the family know that you are working these hours, and ask them to respect that and to not distract you when you are working. If you can turn an extra bedroom to an office, that would be best!

4.  Social Space - Working from home can be peaceful at times, sometimes.... too peaceful and quiet. Sometimes I work well knowing that there are others being productive around me, that's why working at a coffee shop or a co working space has always been a great place for me to get work done as a Digital Nomad. If you need a break from home, just find a local coffee shop or meet up with other remote workers at a co working space to share and learn about business ideas.

The Common Space - BF Homes/Paranaque Philippines

5.  Professionalism - If you are trying to build a business, sometimes a home address may not seem professional. In my case, I really don't care =) Being your own boss is fast becoming the thing to do in today's society. It really all depends on the line of work you are in, but in most cases, an online presence is much more ideal and cost-effective than having a bricks and mortar office. This is a choice that you have to make on your own.

So that's about it guys. I hope this helps some of you get an idea on what it's like being able to work from home. Is it for you? Is there something that you feel that I missed based on your experiences, please let me know!

See you all soon, and as always, make everyday count!!! =)

Anyways, sorry for not posting on a regular! I've been slammed with video projects, but it's been super fun and challenging. I promise to try to post more =)

Top 3 Benefits of Having a Digital Business

I know that not everyone see's the benefit in having a digital business. Some people say that it isn't as personal, and that it is disrupting today's society when it comes to building real relationships. This is definitely something to talk about, but one thing is for sure, the wealthiest man in the world, and founder of Amazon.com, Jeff Bezos is KING when it comes to running a Digital Business with that personal touch.

Top 10 Ways to Work and Travel the World

1.  Location Independent - I think that is by far is the best benefit. Having a digital business allows you to work from anywhere around the world. As long as you have wifi, most Digital Nomads can run their online empires from either their laptop and/or smart phones. This is a huge plus for people who love to travel and work at some of the most amazing places in the world.

2.  No Stock - Imagine running a multi-million dollar online business without owning a warehouse or touching a single product? There are some digital businesses that also just work with digital products so there is no need to handle products at all. Whether you have a digital product, or work with a company who ships you products, or just sell a digital service, this is one of the benefits of having an online company, it's all about freedom, and for some...saving the planet!

Learn more about being an Online Health and Fitness Influencer

3.  Less or No Employees - When you're dealing with digital products, there is no need for full on production employees, and for most Digital Nomads who sell digital services, most of the work is done by themselves or outsourced to freelancers who publish their work on sites like Fiverr.com. I have partners in my line of work who create millions of business volume every week with zero to a maximum of 2 employees. Crazy right!

So there you have it, simple and pretty much to the point! Trust me when I also tell you that there are a lot more benefits than the three listed above. If you have any benefits that you would like to share, feel free to post a comment in the comment section, or share it with me directly! =)

Having Multiple Streams of Income

If you are interested in possibly starting a digital business and don't know where to start, give me a buzz and let's talk some ideas, I love connecting with other like-minded individuals, look forward to chatting with you!

Looking for a Go-Getter - Do You, Get Paid!

So it's about that time of the year where I am in search for a few select people to coach and let them know what I've done to become independent and free from a job. Not to say that having a job is the worst idea ever, it's just not for everyone....kinda like me =)

I'm looking for someone who is hungry, likes to stay active, open to ideas, can handle rejection, is teachable, and has big goals!!! 

IS THIS YOU?

I mean who doesn't want to be financially independent right? Who doesn't want the freedom to do as they please without some "BOSS" telling them what to do. If you're like me, it is so difficult to take orders from someone. Don't get me wrong, I am totally open to learning and taking criticism, but I would rather take it, and then go on with my life on my own terms. 

WILL IT BE EASY?

No it will not. You will need to have work ethic. You will need to be strong inside and out. Becoming an entrepreneur is not for everyone, but everyone can do it if they learn to find that little something inside of them that will keep them going when the going gets tough, and not everyone can do that. Do you get distracted easily? then don't bother, this is for people who are focused on success no matter what curve ball hits them. This is for the 2-5% of the people who think differently, and not like anyone else. If this comes easy for you, then let's talk. 

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I MAKE?

Absolutely zero to a billion dollars, that's up to you. I will be giving you the tools and the strategies that I have learned from my mentors, and my goal is to help you become way better than what I've done with my life. I will teach you several ways to earn while you are sleeping, and most of these streams will be online. Having an online business will give you the freedom to work from anywhere around the world, which is why I'm proud to say that I've been to over 40 countries so far. One point that I would like to make is this.....if you are thinking about money and nothing else, you won't make it! GREED is the worst thing, so if you are money hungry, please move on. If you have passion and know what makes you happy, then let me help you take that passion and make a life with it. 

WHAT NEXT

Get in contact with me. I don't have a any sort of application process, but you will need to WOW me with why you feel that I should spend my hours away from my family to help you build your dream. If I choose you, then you will be considered my family. I will treat you like a brother or sister, and we will become partners for life, that is how I do business. So if you feel that this is for you, and you are a GO-GETTER, then connect with me on facebook here, and send me a message about why I should pick you. Looking forward to meeting you! 

Having Multiple Streams of Income - My Little Story

I'm a World Juggler

IS VERY IMPORTANT AS AN ENTREPRENEUR.

I remember growing up in a small Florida town, and watching my Dad work so hard. I often wondered how he was able to support all six of his children because my Mom didn't work, well she did....taking care of six kids is no small feat, but you know what I mean =)

As I grew older, I began to notice that my Dad worked on multiple projects, he was always busy! He would wake up bright and early, and come home late at night. He was also in the US Navy, but that was just the tip of the iceberg compared to what he really had going on. My Dad has always been a workhorse, and always believed in having multiple streams of income, and that's where my entrepreneurial journey began.

GROWING UP

I always knew that I wanted to be like my father. What I mean by that, I knew that I wanted to be in business for myself. The idea behind someone telling me what to do just didn't fit in with my mindset, it just didn't. During my adolescent years, I worked with my Dad at his restaurants, catering and concession companies. I learned so much as a kid, and by the time I became an adult, I was managing my father's companies.

My Dad and daughter Lauren

PARTING WAYS

As time progressed and I became more and more independent, I wanted to venture out and try things out on my own, I wanted to explore outside of the family business. I went to culinary school and did a culinary apprenticeship at the Walt Disney World Resort and worked at the finest hotels and resorts. I began to learn more about the hospitality industry and thought that this was the place for me.

Working as a Chef at 5 Star Restaurant Victoria and Alberts - Walt Disney World

I worked in the hospitality industry for a decade I would say, and while working, I was woken up by something bigger when I backpacked Europe for a month in the early 2000's. It was nothing that I ever experienced and I knew right then and there that I wanted to do something that would allow me to keep exploring the world we all live in. Travel was now my ultimate dream.

"I grew up reading my Mom's National Geographic magazines, that's where my itch to travel originated"

BUT, BUT HOW?

The internet bubble was just coming in full circle and I bought my first Web TV, some of you might remember that, but unfortunately, the company failed. I started learning about how the internet works early on, but I never found my place it it. I did everything from online casinos, to travel sites, to Amway, and even tried the infamous chain letter lol. Nothing ever brought me success, but I never quit. I was always juggling, exploring, and trying new things.

AND THEN

Finally, after years of working odd jobs, countless business fails, I found internet affiliate marketing, it was the beginning of a new life, and an eye-opener to what I can really achieve online as an entrepreneur.

TODAY

Marks almost 10 years that I have been in the industry. And for those of you who are not familiar with online affiliate marketing, it's kinda like eCommerce, well.....it all works hand in hand. ECommerce and Affiliate Marketing is a very broad thing to say because there is so much that you can do within the field. Let's just say that I partner with companies who already have a strong infrastructure. They take care of my research and development, drop-shipping, customer service, and technical issues. So what do I have to do? Well, I simply market their products and services and earn weekly paychecks. It sounds simple right, but trust me, it took me years to create a full time income!

Hustle and flow at my Airbnb in Cyberjaya, Malaysia

AM I RICH?

Hmmm, that is all based on what you call success. For me, I don't need much as a minimalist, but I still work hard. Heck, the richest man in the world still works hard day in and day out, it's no wonder why Jeff Bezos is worth billions, oh and by the way....his business is eCommerce =)

SO WHAT ARE MY STREAMS OF INCOME?

Glad you asked, and I'm surprised that you made it this far =). I just have a thing about giving people a little bit of history before getting into the dirt. If you want to know what I do, here goes:

1.  Online Affiliate Marketing - this all ties in with everything that I do with eCommerce, Network Marketing. I market everything from health and fitness, lifestyle products, and online travel services, but only market things that I use =) I have to believe in what I share with my friends, that's important.

How I Workout When I Travel

2.  Video Media and YouTube - I run a small youtube based media business where I film obstacle racing events, adventure travel, and cause-related non profit organizations. This is not really a business, but I tend to get companies and individuals asking me for my video services, so if I believe in their mission, I will help them out. As far as non-profit organizations and charities, I create content for them for free, it's just my way of giving back to the community.

3.  Airbnb - I found this business model while traveling all over the world on video projects and decided to give it a shot. I am currently working on a few properties that will also include local tours and experiences. It's what I love to do when I am stationary and not traveling. By the way, I'm a Super Host =)

4.  Restaurant - Well, I am not technically doing this at the moment (but planning and re-designing is in the works), but I am trying to encourage my Dad to retire so that he can relax and enjoy his life that he worked so hard for. Once this happens, if it ever does =) I will be taking over the family business that I left many years ago. Many people ask me why I would do such a thing and run a bricks and mortar type of business, and this is what I say, "it's where it all started for me", I want to continue my father's legacy. For as long as I am here, I will help my parents, because I am so grateful for what they have done for me. Taking over the family business is an honor, and I will cherish it forever.

So I don't know what you thought you would be getting by reading this blog post. I guess the main thing that I wanted to point out is that, if you really want success in life, it's not about just doing one thing. I would not be who I am today if I didn't juggle my whole life. Life is not about monetary things for me, it's all about the experiences. Today's society is moving so fast, and trust me, I know how difficult it is to keep up. My little piece of advice should you choose to take it is, no matter what you do, make sure that you love dong it, and helping people along the way.

What are your streams of income? What is your story? I'd love to hear from you. And if you are looking for another stream of income, please feel free to connect with me, I'm sure that together we can find a solution to help you get to the next level of your life.

Aspiring Entrepreneurs Wanted

Before I get into this post, I just wanted to share this one point. As an Entrepreneur, I firmly believe that anyone who is thinking about being in business for themselves must be open-minded. Forget about what you know now, and start new. What you've always known in the past has changed, and will continue to evolve, the question is....will you?

ASPIRING

What does this mean? It's about having ambitions to achieve something great!

I am looking for people who aspire to do great things. With that, it will take courage, determination, commitment, persistence, and making goals non-negotiable. If you are someone like that, then please continue to read, if not, go back to your life, this is not for you.

ENTREPRENUER

What do you think about when you think of the word "entrepreneur?" According to the dictionary, an entrepreneur is a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on a greater than normal financial risk in order to do so.

So secondly, since you've made it this far, the next question is, are you willing to take risks? Are you willing to make a financial and time investment to create an empire? If you are not willing to invest any money (we're not talking about thousands or millions here, so relax guys) or time into creating something that will leave a legacy for you, then I encourage you to discontinue reading. From here on out, I will be talking only to the serious people.

WANTED

And what I mean by this, I mean I will consider people based on their goals. As an entrepreneur, you have to be selective on who you partner or do business with. You must be selective in who you mentor, and share your ideas and secrets of success with. Am I successful? Depends on what you call success.

I don't have a job, haven't had one in almost 5 years. I travel around the world on my own terms and can spend time with my family any time that I want. My decisions are based on what I want, and not based on an employer. I have total control over my life, so does that make me successful? I guess so.

What does success mean to you?

If you are money-driven, you probably won't last long because what I will share with you is based on passion, what you truly want to do, and how you can turn that into a paycheck. Paychecks that you can only get by helping people. So if at this point you are not willing to help people on your path to success, then please discontinue reading, becoming an entrepreneur is definitely not for you.

Helping people regardless if you benefit or not is a SUCCESS trait, do you have it?

CONGRATULATIONS

Now that you aspire to be great, let's talk.

First of all, what I would like to do is introduce you to a financial vehicle that you can use to lead you on your path to success. This is the same vehicle that I started using about 7 years ago, and I still continue to use this today. With this opportunity, it will help you become more happy, healthy, and will teach you the basic steps to become a leader and entrepreneur. I am talking about an affiliation with a company where they will literally spend over $120 million on advertising dollars per year on your behalf, just to make your life easier.

It starts with learning the basics of networking, social media, the benefits of staying active, eating clean, and not caring about what people think. So if you can't handle the fact that not everyone will understand what you are doing, and that your friends might frown upon what you are doing, or the fact that your family might not even support you, then you might as well quit now.

Remember, you have gone this far, there are more obstacles to endure as an entrepreneur. Here's the bright side to this opportunity: if you work hard for 2-5 years, you won't have to work hard for the rest of your life. Now of course this is based on what you are willing to put in, and numbers are always different for many people, but in a nutshell, you have the opportunity to create an empire from the convenience of your own smartphone or laptop, with virtually no employees at all. I will never promise you success (that's your responsibility), I can only give you the very same tools that I have used, and help you on your journey, that I can promise you!

ARE YOU DOWN?

Again, I want to be honest with you. Becoming an entrepreneur is tough. If you are willing to take some hits from life, your friends, and even your family, then I would like to welcome you to a new world of opportunity. Most people will never see past their current lifestyle right now, it's only because they do no want to. So if you have read this far, then we should talk, because you are a rare breed.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Now this part is crucial, because a lot of people get to this point even though they were not qualified too, are you one of them? If you were just curious, but not really serious, please stop reading now, you are wasting your time.

But if you have read this far, and you think that you have what it takes to really make big things happen in your life, then your next step is to message me directly.

Work Spaces While You Travel

Lancaster Train Station, Pennsylvania

This is a pretty important topic for me since I find myself traveling a lot for my OCRTUBE media project. But in order for me to continue supporting my project, I also have to continue working my online fitness business. Having an online business has it's benefits, but it can also be challenging when it comes to having a set work schedule, there' no such thing, at least for me.

Just to back up a bit, I travel about 7 months out of the year filming obstacle course races. And most people do not know this, but I do this for free! To support my cause-related media project, I rely on my online fitness business to fund my project. Yes, my current online Beachbody Coaching business is basically the financial backing for my ocr media project. The goal for my ocr media project is to help the sport of obstacle racing grow globally, while raising awareness for some of my favorite charities. Everyone has a way that they would like to give back, so this is my good deed for the sport that I am passionate about, and it also supports the causes that I truly love.

BACK TO THE TOPIC

So since I am traveling all the time, the most challenging part is finding the time and space to work online. Traveling in 3rd world countries are the most challenging since WIFI is not always available.

I find myself working in these types of places the most:
-  Coffee Shops
-  Work Spaces
-  Hotels, Hostels, Airbnb's
-  Airports

 Working at ISC - NYC

For me, atmosphere is everything. I do enjoy working in coffee shops the most. Although work spaces have better internet, some of these places do not have the social interaction that I enjoy. I sometimes take breaks and get all caught up chatting with other digital entrepreneurs about what they do, and get tips on other work space travel locations.

Airports, although convenient, is my least favorite place to work. When I am in between flights or have long layovers, I try to be productive with my time, but it always makes me feel rushed knowing that I only have a limited time. Airports just feel very, very hectic to me, and I do not like the feeling that way =). I also dislike it when I am working on an online project, and it's time to board the plane and I'm right in the middle of something big! Un-finished business is just one of my pet peeves, anyone else feel this way?

Working at hotels, hostels, and airbnb's can be very relaxing, but I find that the internet is not as consistent. Hotels are great, but they tend to be pricey. Hostels are cheap and a great way to meet other travelers, and although most of the time they have decent internet, these places can get pretty rowdy at times. Airbnb's are good for your wallet. I tend to book airbnb accommodations when I want to be anti-social, yeah....I get like that a lot especially if I know that I have a lot of work to do.  Airbnb's can be a great place to work, but the WIFI can be inconsistent and far away from things like markets and sight-seeing adventures. Whenever I book an Airbnb, I always ask about their internet, but it's not always working when I get there. =)

WORK SCHEDULE

I try to keep things simple. I do have somewhat of a schedule that I try to follow, but it doesn't always work as planned, in fact, it never does. When you travel all the time, there is no set day when you are arriving and departing. I do a lot of last minute travel, so that makes things even more difficult for me. Here's what a general work schedule looks for me:

- Film and edit obstacle race videos on the weekends
- Complete video editing on Mondays (that is if I only have one video project, if I have two or more, video editing can go well into wednesdays and even thursdays, which I try my best not to do)
- Work my Online Beachbody Business from Tuesday to Friday (this is a huge priority because this is currently my primary income)

So I know that my above schedule is very broad, but setting days to work on my OCRTUBE project and my Beachbody Business is very important. BALANCE is key =).

THAT'S IT FOR WORK SPACES

For someone who's office is their backpack, it can be daunting at times. Some people think that it's a dream come true to wake up in a different place almost every week, and trust me, I'm not at all complaining, but it can take some time to get used to. It's definitely not for everyone, and you can easily be UN-productive, but the one thing that I always have to remember is that if I don't work, I will not be able to travel and help people change lives, and that's the whole reason why I do what I do =).

Do you have entreprenuer tendencies, or open to multiple sources of income? Feel free to contact me, I'd love to share some ideas with you. I'm also available for video chat, serious inquiries only please =).
