Sharing is caring!

Do you wonder how to quit your job and travel the world?

It does sound amazing, doesn’t it? Put all obligations aside for a while, get lost somewhere in jungles, wild beaches, or romantic cities, and just be for once.

One way of making this dream a reality is to save up money, sell your stuff, and run off to new adventures.

That’s at least what you expected to read here, isn’t it? 

But if you knew already how most people say they do it, why haven’t you done it yourself yet?

While we think we know they reason why, you have to admit something. It sound pretty easy in theory, right? You hand in your resignation letter, pack up your stuff, get cheesy goodbye presents, and close the door behind you.

Actually, we know many who did exactly that. They quit their jobs, sold all their belongings, and all that romantic sounding jazz. They went traveling, and you know what? Only a few short weeks or months in, they decided to turn around and come back home!

Why? Because they couldn’t handle seeing their money being drained out of their pockets. They didn’t have a longterm plan and they started freaking out once savings started to get tight. And they will get tight … sooner or later!

Let me guess.

You haven’t quit your job and gone traveling on your savings because you know that this is not the right way.

At least not for you? We agree. That’s why we did it in a totally different way. In a safer and longterm sustainable way.

How to quit your job and become a digital nomad entrepreneur with an online business

We know, this sounds almost too good to be true but just roll with us for a moment. You will very soon understand what we mean.

Oh and no, there is no secret hook, and it’s easier than you think it is.

Let us start by telling you a short story about us and how we have been traveling the world full-time without without touching our savings and while doing what we love.

Secret #1: How we went traveling full-time without working and without touching our savings

The story of becoming full-time travels and digital nomad entrepreneurs starts on a sunny spring afternoon 5 years ago. It was Sunday and Tomer and I were strolling along the beautiful canals of Amsterdam when the pre-Monday blues started to settle in. Sounds familiar?

We had been dreaming about going traveling for a long time but I had just received a juicy promotion and it didn’t seem like the right time to leave.

I remember getting into a heated discussion. We concluded that if we didn’t go traveling soon, it was likely never going to happen.

At that time we used to live in a rented apartment that cost us $1600 a month. Our landlord rented it out because he was traveling around South America.

We found this fact so fascinating that we started looking into mortgage prices to figure out how much profit our landlord was making on us. We learnt that if we bought an apartment ourselves, our monthly total cost would be $1000. That’s $600 less than what we were renting our apartment for! That meant that our landlord had an additional $600 for his travel budget coming out of our bank account, every month.

Learning this was a game changer for us.

Over the course of the next 2 years we bought 3 apartments and gave them up for rent. You can do the math how much that made us. The best thing, apart from some small administrative tasks of about 2 hours a month, we don’t need to work for this income.

This type of income is called passive income.

Passive income is any earnings that you make without having to actively work for. In simple words, it’s money that you earn while you sleep.

Before you object and say “Ok, thumbs up for you guys, but that’s not realistic for me.”, let us calm you down. Real estate is not the only way. In fact, there are many more options — especially those that require less than $20 to start. We summarized the 11 best passive income streams that we see great potential in here.

Instead of watching your savings run out and stress about urgently needing to find random remote jobs, passive income will give you peace of mind during your travels. Besides being an essential ingredient for smart money management, it is also a cushion. A financial cushion to explore what you actually want to do, without stress.

… which brings us to Secret #2 to creating a lifestyle in which you do what you love where you love and when you love:

Secret #2 is to turn your passions into an income source. Or in other words, become a digital nomad entrepreneur.

Secret #2: Turn your passions into income as digital nomad entrepreneur 

How would it feel if you could do something you love all day long and make money while you’re at it?

This was our vision. We knew there had to be another way of making money. One without being chained to your office desk from 9 to 5 and doing work that drained our souls.

Instead, we wanted to do do our own thing. We wanted to be in control of our own schedules, travel, and spend our time on projects and people that inspired us.

So after leaving our Fortune 500 leadership careers thanks to passive income, we started building our freedom based online business in Bali.

That’s the ultimate ticket to freedom. Finding your marketable skills and passions and turning it into an online offer that people will love to buy … Starting an online business as a solo-preneur allows you to work from anywhere in the world on your own terms. And it doesn’t have to be complicated!

The fastest and most profitable way to become a digital nomad entrepreneur is to create a consultancy or coaching service

Why is that? Here are the benefits of becoming a digital nomad coach / consultant:

  • You stop working on somebody else’s schedule. Instead, you decide what you offer to whom and how, allowing for control and flexibility.
  • You can get started with skills you already have, without the need for retraining (or becoming a bigger expert!).
  • You can charge a premium price and make substantial money relatively fast. This means you sustain your travels with the business as soon as possible.

Becoming an online consultant or coach is a great way to monetize skills you already have. You do that by turning them into value that others are willing to pay for.
