Do you dream of travelling the world? Wouldn’t you love to indulge your wanderlust and take off for an extended trip? In this information age, it is very possible to build into your life breaks away from the everyday.
In his bestselling book, The 4-Hour Workweek, Timothy Ferris advocates mini-retirements and streams of income that continue even when you’re off on safari. He encourages people to go on a low-information diet, and to have staff take care of administrative details while you do what you really want to do with your life. In a few short years, he has become a tango dancing champion in Argentina, been a breakdancer on MTV in Taiwan, and competed in the sport of hurling in Ireland, to name a few. Described as “the Indiana Jones of the information age,” Ferris makes the mobile lifestyle sound as doable as it is appealing.
Ferris’ book intrigued Don Giberson, a Law of Attraction coach and trainer. Don created an audio program called Ten Weeks to Freedom, which focuses on the principles described in Ferris’ book. Don challenges his clients to create a “Muse” – a stream of passive income that supports them in taking their first mini-retirement. Then he encourages them to enjoy the mobile lifestyle, even if just for a few weeks. Don reports that most of his clients are so enthused after their first time away that they make a commitment to having mini-retirements for the rest of their lives.
Isn’t your life supposed to be about more than earning a living so you can have a few years to do whatever you want? Think about building in mini-retirements now. Where would you go? What would you do?
Or, how about continuing to work while you travel? Read my next blog to hear about someone who is doing it for six months!
