Series | How to Run a Business From a Hammock | Step 1

Step 1: Choose to.

After prolonged soul searching the last few days I have decided to spin off my varied interests into numerous blogs for mini projects that I have been starting, then incubating, then forgetting, then dusting off, ad nauseam.

So spinning off these various interests (more on this later) which have made this blog somewhat unfocused will also breath life into the other projects and give them something to develop from and build off from over time. Rather than just sitting in the proverbial corner of my mind, muttering about potential and opportunity.

So this blog will refocus onto my chief entrepreneurial hobby and document (sounds quite official?) my journey along this path. This path being that of an increasingly mobile and nomadic solopreneur. Or as a title “How to build a business that travels well.”

This fits with the whole Beach Bum Billionaire concept and is essentially the distilled core, of determining the course and formula of freedom of location, time and financial constraint, very much inspired by Tim Ferris, and his mini-retirements. There is a distant goal of taking a much needed gap year and travelling, the challenge though is to not stop working, to reformat that “work” such that it is not a burden and is also completely mobile and nomadic.

Its about the greedy pursuit, with the best intentions, of the best of both worlds. The world of work and the world of ‘not work’. Seeking work that is meaningful and purposeful such that it ceases to be work, and the reconfiguring that process so that it can be conducted within the best of changing environments.

Its about getting rid of the physical hindrances, being leaner and lighter, getting mobile, and getting going. Its the combination of doing and seeing. Broadened horizons breed bountiful perspectives.

So I hope you’d care to join me on my journey to discover “How to Run a Business From a Hammock”, I’m sure to share the odd tip, trick and tale.
