How to be a Digital Nomad

There are some things in life I just haven’t got to yet. I’m a busy man who sleeps a lot, (I believe it’s an age thing), so my time is precious. I haven’t done a parachute jump, (maybe because I don’t like heights) I haven’t yet been down the Grand Canal in Venice, and I have never done ‘Tower of Terror’ at Disneyland, Paris – you know the things most people do in their lives.

I was surprised to find the other day that the term ‘digital nomad’ actually exists. Surprised as I thought it was a made up phrase. According to Wikipedia, Digital nomads are a type of people who use telecommunications technologies to earn a living and, more generally, conduct their life in a nomadic manner. Such workers often work remotely from foreign countries, public libraries, coffee shops, co-working spaces, or even recreational vehicles.

Some of you may recall, that it is now nearly 12 months since the great Andrew Reynolds possibly introduced you to this term. So is this still your dream?  How far have you come since beginning your (Primo) journey? What are you prepared to do to make it truly happen?

If you’re a just a little like me, then maybe you do seek new destinations. Thoughts of long white sandy beaches with the water calling out your name.  Different cities to explore and discover.

To many this could be an ideal life, and you would not be alone in this regards. Many industries are now even accepting remote work as the way forward, indeed you may get offered the chance to do this one day with the company your with now. Although probably to work from home, not on a remote beach somewhere. So you do not have to be self-employed especially to begin with and you may like to try this interesting lifestyle.

However with your (Primo) business, the end aim perhaps is to eventually work for yourself, continually learning, building new sales funnels, advertising your internet business. Your aim to grow your business, with a view to give you a more nomadic lifestyle. If you do it well and make your (primo) business solid then this should be no problem.

Like with all things there is always some risk, but then there’s nothing more exhilarating or more rewarding than traveling the world as a digital nomad. The option to actually choose your destination at will.

Like with many things however, you have to put the work in before this can become a reality. Make the time to really move your business onwards. Set a goal of where you want to be in a year from now. Remember ‘tomorrow never comes’, so if you put it off until tomorrow, it will not happen. Start today and do it now (or even part of it) and I’m sure you will soon be where you want to be.

So I’m off to Venice for a few days, with ‘she who must be obeyed’, as I still have to travel down that Grand Canal, like I said earlier there are some things in life that you just simply must do.
