This Entrepreneur’s Secrets to Being Productive From Anywhere in the World | Inc
Not only do we want to make the best use of our time, but some of us also want to do that from wherever we happen to be. It’s a bigger job than we probably think (I’m guessing a team is pretty useful) but still doable. Also, the thing about creating an ideal day was an aha moment for me.

I’ve tried to set up Instant Articles but Facebook “rejected” my first try due to code on one page around some video. It’s fixed, but I have to create 10 new articles before I can submit again. I had a horrible time with the WordPress/IA link up and ended up disabling the plug in before I submitted – since only one error came back, I’m hoping this means I don’t need it!
Hi Stacey,
I vibe with the first article.
And Natalie as the example.
She shares rocking tips for sure but I’d add, ya gotta check the energy behind your acts to succeed on the road.
I’ve traveled the world as a full time, pro blogger for the past 5 years. For the first few years, even if someone advised me to be a leader and not micromanager, I’d not have heard them.
My energy screamed follower. Not leader. Had to shift to receive and act on prospering advice.
Things get so freaking busy in Fiji and busy in Bali that I had to follow my fun to make it work. If I felt like blogging was work, I’d be screwed. Too much tension.
But I love blogging and traveling, so mixing blogging tips and travel tips and writing hundred plus eBooks felt like a blast to me. Lowering stress levels. And boosting my efficiency.
I dig Nat’s first tip in the Inc article, big time. I intend to make an impact where I am. This ensures I feel mostly detached and leverages the heck out of my presence.
Take this blog comment; I could post a 2 line bit, and make little impact, or a thorough piece, and make an impact.
I’ve been busy as Hades – and loving – writing and promoting my eBooks but recall my golden blog commenting days.
I recall one of my blog posts where 3 commentors noted how they’d found me thru my comment on Pro Blogger, and they signed up for my lists.
Act like a leader, make an impact, and you’ll have mad time to spend offline in the tropics.
Signing off from not so sunny NJ.

Great bedtime reading that will get me through the rest of the weekend … great job as always!
