Burn-out Proof Your Biz with Location and Time Freedom

What if instead of taking a single vacation when you're on the verge of burnout you structured your business to feel like you were on a permanent vacation? Online business owners have never had so much freedom when it comes to structuring their schedules and the ability to work from any location. Whether it’s from a beach in Mexico or high up in the rocky mountains of Colorado, having the freedom to work from anywhere can be a key element in creating a life you don’t need a vacation from. 

Dr. Kristen Guillory is an example of an entrepreneur who plays by her own rules. She is a world renowned speaker and coach who went from teaching in the classroom to motivating thought leaders around the world with her unique approach to public speaking. She is a fierce champion for others to experience true freedom in who they are and build lifestyles and businesses that reflect their values. And she’ll be doing just that during the four-day Speaker Bootcamp she’s hosting August 4 - 7 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. You can find all the details here! 

Dr. Kristen was so committed to her own vision that she hired the Flourish Media team to help her transition to a new level in her business and personal life. She intentionally chose to relocate to South Florida, which allowed her to serve her clients while simultaneously living a lifestyle that incorporated more leisure and play. While her day to day workflow focuses on creating value for her clients, she has more flexibility in her schedule and location now that she has a reliable team to manage creating visuals, graphic design, and other media content for her brands. 

By delegating tasks and upleveling her brand presence, Dr. Kristen is an inspiration for entrepreneurs who desire to live on vacation. Want to set up your business for flexibility and location independence? Here are a few tips for getting started: 

Simplify and Prioritize

In terms of creating more freedom in your business, what do you value most? This is an important question to ask yourself so you can design your business around these priorities. Do you crave more time to travel abroad and be untethered from technology? If so, automating systems and outsourcing is one way to make a business that is more conducive to your values. Or maybe you want to take off for several months at a time. In that case, you may want to structure your launches and offerings around seasonal opportunities such as holiday retail sales or tax deadlines. By simplifying and defining your priorities can give you clarity for your next steps. 

Allocate your resources 

Time and money are two resources that are required for creating a lifestyle business. If you desire to be location independent, consider renting out your home or office space while you travel. There are many digital nomads who travel year-round and many destinations throughout the world that are set up to accommodate remote workers. If it’s more free time you desire, make a list of what you can outsource and how much more revenue you would like to bring in to offset the expense of hiring. 

Digitize Your Business and Create Passive Income 

If you desire location independence and flexibility, consider creating digital products and offerings that do not require your physical presence. While it might require an upfront investment of time, creating courses, templates and writing books are all offers that can be fully automated. That means you can get paid while sipping margaritas on the beach! At Flourish Media, we take the guesswork out of launching digital products so you can book that flight to paradise sooner rather than years from now.
