๐Ÿš€ Building a Multi-Million Dollar Business While Traveling the World

mouse glowing

Hey nomad fam! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Ever been told you can't build a big business while hopping between countries? Well, Jodie Cook's recent Forbes article, "Can You Build A Big Business As A Digital Nomad?", shatters that myth.

Cook, who sold her social media agency in 2021, reveals that her company's revenue soared when they ditched the office. She argues that the old-school belief that you need a physical space to grow a business is outdated. Entrepreneurs are now building multi-million dollar companies from anywhere they choose.

The real hurdle? Mindset. Traditional leaders cling to the idea that culture and management require a physical presence. But Cook points out that companies like Zapier, Buffer, and Basecamp have thriving remote teams with strong cultures. It's all about intentionality and clear communication.

Another myth Cook debunks is the notion that business growth is limited when traveling. She emphasizes that clients care about results, not your location. By packaging expertise into scalable offerings and leveraging digital systems, entrepreneurs can achieve significant growth without being tied to a desk.

Managing a remote team effectively is also possible. Cook suggests hiring for accountability and independence, setting clear expectations, and measuring outcomes rather than hours worked. This approach ensures productivity without micromanagement.

Investors are increasingly open to backing location-independent businesses. Many angel investors have built and sold companies while traveling and understand that results matter more than office photos. A compelling pitch showcasing growth and revenue can attract the right investors.

The stereotype of digital nomads working from beaches is fading. Serious nomads create professional environments wherever they go, investing in reliable technology and joining premium coworking spaces. This professionalism ensures that work gets done efficiently, regardless of the backdrop.

In essence, building a big business as a digital nomad isn't just possible, it's happening. With the right mindset, intentional strategies, and a focus on results, entrepreneurs can thrive while embracing the freedom to work from anywhere.
