Lifestyle Online Business Model Characteristics

During our conversation Dan spoke about Position, Strategy, Community, Starting, and the power of Peristance.

1. Not all models work for all people. It’s dependent on personality, history, and runway on capital. In many cases, people move to Asia to figure out how to make $1K/mo and live well. It’s a great place to bootstrap a business.

2. Too often people try to reinvent the wheel when it would make more sense for them to copy what works in a slightly different model.

3. Amazon FBA is a common path for Digital Nomad success.

4. It’s important having a community that can help you. If you’re all alone it will impede success.

5. Take action and get started. Don’t let perfection kill an opportunity.

6. Perseverence wins the race. Don’t take rejection personally. Move on to the next opportunity.
