Work Spaces While You Travel

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

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 =).

My Favorite Gary Vee Quotes

Do you ever have those days when you just don't want to do anything? I have that more than I would like to admit, so when that happens, I pretty much need a BUTT-KICKING from one of my favorite Social Media Entrepreneurs "Gary Vaynerchuk". He's one of those guys that you wish you had on your ass all the time to keep you in check.

When I start slacking with my online fitness business, I start watching his youtube videos and start listening to his podcasts, and guess what? I start getting into WORK MODE!

For All The Haters
This video PUMPS ME UP every single time!

So with this blog post, I wanted to create a place to where I can go and see my favorite Gary Vee quotes. It's kinda a lazy post, but something that I know that will help me during my tough days, and hope it helps you as well.

Just as a warning, if you do not like profanity, some of these quotes may offend you. Gary Vee is known for his direct approach and uses language that may be offensive, but if you can look beyond that, Mr. Gary Vee means well. Let's face it, he knows what he's doing.

Running with the Pagoda Pacers - Reading, Pennsylvania

When I travel, one of the most challenging things for me is to be consistent with my workouts, so what I enjoy doing is looking for free workouts and group runs. I am currently in Reading, PA in between filming obstacle course races for my OCRTUBE media project, so during the week, I try to either do my P90X workouts at the park, or wherever I am staying at, but sometimes I like to change things up a bit. Do you feel me? =)


GOOGLE is your friend!

I went online and searched for running groups and I ran into the Pagoda Pacers website. This group has been around for about 37 years now, and have well over 500 members. They are basically one of the oldest running groups in Pennsylvania. The Pagoda Pacers group organize group runs, bike rides and special events. Most of the group runs are on trails which I very much enjoy. Yesterday I went on my first run with them at Shilington Park, Shilington PA. It was nice and hilly and the terrain was a mixture of trails and roads. The cool thing about the trail runs is that it changes every week, so you will never get bored. They meet every Wednesday night at 6:15pm. Check them out here!

THAT WAS MY 2ND WORKOUT

Earlier in the day before the group run, I did my normal Beachbody workout which I decided to do Max Out Strength from the Insanity Max 30 workout program. And with Shaun T fashion, I got my ass handed to me =)

Here's a quick clip of my workout!

Running up to the PAGODA - Reading, Pennsylvania

Watch Video Below

So I'm traveling and filming obstacle course races (for my OCRTUBE Media Project) in the Pennsylvania and New York area for a few weeks, and a friend of mine was kind enough to let me stay at her place while I am in between races. She told me about this Pagoda that I can run up a little north of Reading, PA so I decided to give it a go. It was pretty flat running through the city of Reading, but once you hit Hill Rd, that's where the steady incline and the real workout begins. There was a nice park on the way which I will probably end up doing some sort of Insanity Max 30 Workout there before I leave, but the run was pretty scenic, and the homes were beautiful. I even ran into a couple deer kinda scared be a little because they were STOMPING at me, I guess they weren't thrilled that I was taking photos of them, they just wanted me to leave =)

Once I made it up to the Pagoda, it was closed, but only the inside. You could still access the viewing areas and some trails below. When I was up there, I actually felt like I was in Japan, it had a sorta calm feeling about the place. I spent about an hour there just walking around and taking photos.

The Pagoda is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And they also allow guests to rent out the place for events. If you would like more information on the Pagoda in Reading, just click here.

Here is my quick video on my run up to the Pagoda. I plan to be doing this run at least a couple times before I leave Pennsylvania, it's really a great workout! If you're ever in the area, definitley check it out. Oh and you don't have to run up, you can also drive too, but where's the fun in that?



Stay active my friends!

Juggling Your Way to Success

Beachbody Coach Tips, Entrepreneur Tips, Become a Beachbody Coach, Beachbody Coach Life, Digital Nomad, Own an Online Fitness Business, Fitness Entrepreneur, Juggling with Life and Business


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.


Beachbody Coach Tips, Entrepreneur Tips, Become a Beachbody Coach, Beachbody Coach Life, Digital Nomad, Own an Online Fitness Business, Fitness Entrepreneur, Juggling with Life and Business


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.
