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. And keep in mind, I am a very busy person. I'm not even sure where I will be when I respond back to you, so please do not waste my time, and I promise that I will not waste your time as well.

THE TIME IS NOW

So let's summarize everything.

You aspire to become in business for yourself. You understand that becoming an entrepreneur takes an investment of some of your hard earned cash, and of course your time. You understand the importance of being active and eating healthy, if not, you are willing to start. You understand that in order to become an entrepreneur, you have to be willing to help people. You understand that having an open-mind and not caring what others think is very crucial to your success. You understand that this is not an illegal business and it will take anywhere from 2-5 years to become successful depending on what your goals are. And lastly, you understand that I will respect your time just like I would encourage you to respect my time.

LET'S DO IT

I look forward to meeting you. Please email me here, and I will get back with you asap to set up a personal one on one free video call with you. I'm excited for you =)

Run your business from home, a different country, the beach, the mountains, it doesn't matter, 

becoming an entrepreneur is today's world, can yield success anywhere!

My TOP 10 Ways to Work and Travel the World

Exploring Central America - Travel and Work with me!

I've seen so many videos and blogs about this, and although I agree with most of them, I'd like to be more honest about the reality of it.

You see, working remotely around the world is tough, and it's not for everyone. The income is not always steady unless you've had years of experience, or you are employed by a company with a set salary.

Before you think about becoming what they call a Digital Nomad, I highly recommend that you have a game plan before you leave your home. Ok yeah I know, some people would say, "just go, you'll figure it out", and yes...I like the idea of just selling everything and exploring the world, but do you have savings? Do you have a job set when you leave your home? What I'm saying is, don't be foolish. Working remotely as a Digital Nomad is cool, but if you don't do it right, it can become a disaster, and who wants to be stuck in a foreign country without any money. Be smart!

Working in Gothenburg, Sweden

I'm going to give you my TOP 10 List on the best opportunities to become a Digital Nomad and work/travel around the world, but I'm also going to be upfront with you and tell you whether you can make immediate income or not, and for me, thats a very important part that most people don't tell you.

My TOP 10 Ways to Work and Travel List: (not in any order)

1.  TEACHING - This is one of the safest jobs to have while traveling the world. In my opinion, the income would be much more stable working at a physical school or facility. You won't make millions, but you'll have a great experience and learn a lot about the people for which country you're in. The latter is to teach online, but keep in mind, it will take some time to gain clients to produce a significant income to travel with. (Immediate)

2.  LABORER - This can be farming, or anything that involves physical activity for wages. What I've seen is that there are many places to work on farms, wineries, etc. The income may not be great, but some of these places will offer free accommodations as well, and that can help a ton. I've met people who have worked on farms, and it's hard work, long hours, no time to spend your cash, but at the end, they have money to last them at least a year of travel. This could be some really meaningful work especially if it helps the surrounding community or village. (Immediate)

3.  HOSPITALITY - If you have hospitality experience, you will most likely have a good chance at finding a gig. Whether it is bartending, working at a hotel or hostel, this is what a lot of travelers do in between their journey to the next country. I've known people to save upwards to 6 figures before going on the next trip. (Immediate)

4.  WEB DEVELOPER - This is one of the best Digital Nomad gigs. If you are creative, you can develop websites all from your laptop. This is the technology age, everyone needs a website whether it be for a charity, business, or even another entrepreneur, there is so much opportunity. But here's the catch, you need a really good way to promote yourself (which also takes money) if you don't already have a good amount of clients. This is one of the best opportunities, but it does not allow for stable income right off the bat. (Immediate, but not steady unless you already have client base)

5.  GRAPHIC ARTIST - This is the same as the Web Developer. All you need is a creative mind and a laptop and you can be anywhere in the world. Check out this website called UPWORK, you can also promote your services there. (Immediate, but not steady unless you already have client base)

6.  YOUTUBER (Blogger) - There are many ways to do this, but honestly...making money as JUST  a "youtuber" making videos won't get you very far unless you already have a ton of followers. The average youtuber makes about $2-5 per 1000 views, so if you're not killing views, you're not going to make enough income to travel. There are ways to earn extra income while making your videos such as: product reviews, video projects for clients, patreon, and even blogging. If you're a blogger, you can sell advertising on your blog, and even create eBooks about your travel to sell to your followers. (Definitely NOT Immediate, but with consistency and a good niche, it's golden)

7.  NETWORK MARKETING - Multi-Level Marketing is a billion-dollar business, and with today's technology, it is in my opinion the BEST type of residual income out there. I've done a lot of remote work, but this is by far the best opportunity that creates REAL steady residuals (money coming in even when you're not working). Although it is one of the best Digital Nomad gigs, it will take 2-5 years (if you're a rockstar, you can do it in a year) of working to create a significant amount of hustle-flow to allow you to travel around the world. This is my main source of nomad income right now, which also helps me start other business and cause-related projects. I love traveling around the world and working my business from my smartphone, can't beat that with a stick! (Immediate, but not steady until after establishing customers and network)

8.  CONSULTANT - Are you an expert in something like how to manage a restaurant, or manage social media? If you are good at something, you can make some serious dollars by helping businesses, celebrities, or charities. The cool thing is that you can do this via video chat. As long as you have internet, and you are creative, you can do this anywhere! I met a guy who teaches people how to day trade, and this guy makes thousands per day, definitely one of the most successful nomads I've seen. (Immediate, but not steady unless you already have client base)

9.  VIDEOGRAPHER - I love this one, because I also do this "part-time" with my OCRTUBE media project. If you are good with a video camera, all you have to do is contact companies where you are traveling to and ask them if they need a promo video made. There are so many options for this! You can make documentaries of other travelers, specific travel location videos with tips, wedding videos ha ha, and just about anything. I recommend putting your work on youtube to also help get exposure, and maybe even a website to showcase your portfolio. (Immediate, but not steady unless you already have client base)

10.  PHOTOGRAPHER - Who wouldn't want to get paid to travel and take pictures. I mean we all do this when we go on trips, but only a few actually get paid. It helps to have a website and a big following on social media. Just like a videographer, you can contact businesses or individuals about photo projects. I would search for businesses with a website and see if they need some photo upgrades. Go on social media such as Instagram and check to see who's getting married or what events people have coming up, and simply send them a DM. It takes hustle, but what would it mean for you to see the world doing something that you love? Go out and work for it people! =) (Immediate, but not steady unless you already have client base)

So that's about it. There are a lot more remote work type gigs to travel the world, but these opportunities are what I've seen the most when meeting other successful Digital Nomads. The one thing that I didn't mention was the fact that there are a lot of people who work for actual companies, but can do this via their laptop. So yes, they can travel and work online while still being employed by a company from back home, or wherever. BUT, I think the best way to do become a "legit" Digital Nomad and travel the world is to ultimately BE YOUR OWN BOSS...... because isn't that what life is all about, living on your own terms?

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 =).

Juggling Your Way to Success

So I've been wanting to write a post about this for some time now. And oh, it's not about juggling like a clown, it's more about juggling as an ENTREPRENEUR. Let me further explain =)

As a Beachbody Coach and entrepreneur, I've struggled in the past with finding my own niche market. Having a niche is crucial to success in the business world. I mean, ask yourself these questions:

What sets you apart from everyone else? 
Why should people be coached or mentored by you? 
Why should people purchase products and services from you versus a store? 
What makes you so different? 

Is this even relevant to the topic?

Yes, it is, and I'll tell you why. Do you remember growing up as a child and trying different things out: like sports, food, relationships etc? Well, in a nutshell, that's called JUGGLING. We've been doing this since we were born, trying to find out what works best for us, and honing our skills with our natural talents, and experiences.

AND THEN WE GREW UP.......

Life get's in the way, bills start piling up, and life isn't fun anymore. We end up getting comfortable and forget about exploring and taking risks......why? Because we are tired of getting hurt and failing.

Have you noticed that some of the most successful people in the world have multiple sources of income. Take Mark Zuckerburg for example, do you think that he just owns Facebook? Here are just some of the other companies owned or partnered with the social networking giant:

-  What's App
-  Instagram
-  Ascenta
-  Nextstop

You see, success...if that's what you want, is comprised of doing more than one thing.

As a Beachbody Coach, I had to learn to multi-task and stretch myself. Some of the things that I juggled with in order to eventually become a full-time Beachbody Coach and Entrepreneur was:

-  Being more social
-  Reading more books
-  Being more consistent
-  Balancing family, hobbies, and business
-  Learning how to effectively use technology to improve my business
-  Investing

I could go on and on, but I'm sure that you get my point. Success is about juggling. It's about doing things that you are not good at, until you become better. It's not about spreading yourself too thin to where nothing gets accomplished, it's about finding your rhythm, and staying consistent, and then continuing to move forward.

Ok yes, SUCCESS means something different to everyone, but whatever it means to you, whether we are talking about happiness, wealth, or health....the bottom line is that it takes hard work.

So if success is what you want out of life, ask yourself this question, are you a clown, or are you an entrepreneur? It's time to stop playing and start doing.
