I’m traveling today. Going to France and Venice Italy for six weeks. By the time you read this I’ll be on a jet in business class having champagne with my honey Nan. I’ll keep everyone up to date on what I’m visiting. I’m a photographer so I’ll be posting my photos on an almost daily basis.
I love to travel and I love people’s travel blogs. My favorite being Where the Hell is Matt? Matt has released a new video of his travels around the world dancing in front of the video camera. Take a look.
This just shows that anything is possible. He has a sponsor that pays for his travels and then he comes out with a video and the sponsor gets exposure. Anything is possible. Just find a way to do what you want to do.
I love to travel and I love my business. Since we are doing home exchanges with only places that have high-speed Internet I can work while in another country. I’m working on three different clients website at the moment and any changes can be done by me or my team while I’m anywhere in the world.
In fact business is booming. But, I’ve noticed that I’m more productive when I’m not home. I get more done and I get to see fabulous places. I also get great ideas. Travel is my favorite way to get ideas. I talk about it in my book Prosperity Games a lot.
Don’t let your business get in the way of enjoying life. In fact, find that enjoying life makes your business better.

Are you an artist? Publish your own magazine with your artwork. Do you want your own comic book? Or do you want to create a travel magazine about your last trip?
The technology is there only your innovation is the limit.
Government types say that businesses fail because they don’t have enough money. I don’t believe this at all. Businesses fail because business forget to sell. Professionals think they don’t have to sell.
Everyone has to sell. When you ask someone out on a date, you are selling your qualities that make the other person want to go out with you. When a doctor is explaining a producedure he is selling his skills and how they will help you. Everyone sells.
Business that forget that are doomed. “Build it and they will come”. No. No. Sell it. Sell it.

You may know James Layfield as one of the youngest ever Managing Directors in Richard Branson’s Virgin group.
James, named in the Top 30 under 35 UK Entrepreneurs by Growing Business Magazine, caught the entrepreneurial bug from Richard Branson and went on to found youth marketing agency The Lounge Group.
Here is a great checklist before you send out that email. Here is just a few. Click the link at the bottom for the full articles.
1. Is it going to just one person? (If yes, jump to #10)
2. Since it’s going to a group, have I thought about who is on my list?
3. Are they blind copied?
4. Did every person on the list really and truly opt in? Not like sort of, but really ask for it?
5. So that means that if I didn’t send it to them, they’d complain about not getting it?
6. See #5. If they wouldn’t complain, take them off!
