Each month I publish a Blog Income Report. My desire is to inspire others to dream big and plan their own exit strategy from the cubicle hamster race. I also want to set the proper expectations that this is tough work. You’ll work harder than when you were working for the man with (a lot) less income at first and more fear than ever.

Read moreAs I sit here in the quiet of my office, I’m keeping one eye on my computer and one on the rock-and-play positioned next to my desk.

Read moreI nervously stood in line for the catamaran that was taking us to the welcome party for TBEX Europe 2015 in Costa Brava, Spain. I had an eerie flashback to my freshman year of high school, standing at the foot of the cafeteria with my tray, not knowing where to sit or who to talk to. I started to measure myself up against others. Was I over or underdressed in my khakis…

Read moreI didn’t know how to start a travel blog. I’d been trudging along at my blog for five years. The results were abysmal. My blog was abysmal. I didn’t know what I wanted it to be.
