Therefore, it is essential to take time to learn how businesses can earn more frequent flyer points.

Maximise Mileage Earnings

One of the most important things in your business travel is money. Of course, you need the right amount of money to fund your travel, but what I mean is how you bring your travel money and how to send or receive money while you are not in your home country.

Whether you are a budding entrepreneur doing business overseas – business setup, supplier search, etc. – or an entrepreneur living the location independent life, the Tim Ferriss-way, you need to do money sending and receiving somehow.

Here are some travel money issues to consider when traveling for business.… Continue reading »

Cash or no cash?

This is a great travel business opportunity for you and me: Helping travelers to find the right hotels that deliver them the most value for their money.

If you do business travel a lot, you need to find the right business hotels to stay. The keyword here is ‘right.’ By ‘right’ I mean the hotel I stay in must deliver the most value for money – entrepreneurs should spend every penny carefully while getting the most of it.

Not only business travel, in any other travel purposes – especially for leisure – travelers need to find the right hotel to stay in; not necessarily a budget hotel, but at least a hotel that delivers luxury on a shoestring budget.… Continue reading »

While taking a short break (or a mini-retirement, as mentioned by The 4-hour Workweek’s Tim Ferriss) is nice, as not many entrepreneurs have the privilege to take days off from their businesses, I don’t believe that any entrepreneurs can shut themselves out from entrepreneurship.

Your mobile phones and any other communication equipments can be turned off, but you can’t simply turn off your creative mind. Here’s something that I do while on vacation – Start a business.

Why starting a business while vacationing is good

Trust me – You need an outlet for your creative juice to flow freely.… Continue reading »

It should be every small business owner’s dream: Travel the world while having your business runs on autopilot. Nice!

While most of us don’t (and can’t) see that happens in the near future for some reasons, it is a dream worth pursuing. And yes, it’s a reachable one – If you do the right things at the right time.

What’s holding back?

Entrepreneurs and business owners are well known as those who work a typical 16-hour work day. I remember the comment of one of the co-founders of College Hunks Hauling Junk – a junk removal specialist franchise, Nick Friedman. He said that after a-consultant-turning-into-a-business-owner phase, he has the same, old, problem: It seems that here’s not enough time in a day to do what he wanted to do.… Continue reading »
