Justin Wright – How to Become a Digital Nomad
(While waiting on Youtube…I posted to Vimeo)
(Should have known to use Vimeo after four YouTube fails.)
I just noticed that I have been adding little to no commentary on some of these video so if you don’t have twenty minutes to learn how Justin Wright made the transition from wage slave to digital nomad and entrepreneur, here are the highlights and summary of the main points.
Highlights:
- Justin’s Story [0:12]
- What do you use your Vibram Five Finger Shoes for? [3:10]
- Why minimalism? [4:29]
- 7 Days without spending a dime? [7:28]
- Justin’s expertise: WordPress and Zoopmedia [9:31]
- Advice for the aspiring digital nomad [11:38]
- Future Plans: Bloghelp.org & Justin’s book Coming Soon! [15:23]
Justin’s Advice:
- Decide what you really want to do with your life.
- List the obstacles.
- Stay at your job while you conquer the obstacles one at a time.
- Wait until you have replaced your working income through other means.
I should note that Justin and another entrepreneur I recently interviewed both had skills for the new economy. Justin is the expert on WordPress and is dangerously knowledgeable about SEO. Colin (interview to come), is an expert at personal branding and web design and graphic design. I study internet marketing and copywriting and I know a little bit about SEO, but I when I reach expert status in these areas I will be able to live where I want and do what I want.
What do you love or what have you decided to be the expert on?
