Travel Based Businesses That Work

I’m in the process of trying to figure out a gameplan to start travelling again. However I’m in the middle of growing another new business. Over the years I’ve learned that constant blogging just isn’t a great option for me while I travel. I need to build a better more stable business that can handle a few weeks of just having blackberry access.

One of the things I’ve learned about travel and business is this: It’s Hard.

When I’m travelling I have absolutely no focus on work. I have the Look It’s Shiny mentality and I get nothing done. Last year after barely exiting Mexico with my head in tact I managed to find a way to lock myself into a small house and just work for a few months.

Sometimes this is what it takes. However I need travel in order to find peace sometimes. I think a great business that could work is a lead generation business for certain businesses like Real Estate and Mortgage companies. Now this is just an example and I wouldn’t touch that industry with a 27 foot pole but it could be worth a shot.

In your experience what has worked for you as far as mixing business with travel. What brings you success and a measure of happiness?

    Hi there,

    My husband & I travel the world as we work. We’ve got a business model set up based on the coaching I do but we’ve also found that as we travel we add various different ’services’ to our repertoire.

    Coaching however is great - you can coach on all sorts of different things and if you create a coaching program, you can run a business that requires no more than an hour a week group coaching call with guaranteed income for several months at a time.

    Best wishes with your traveling & working.
