Last week I was sitting in the lobby of the Hoxton Hotel in London, settling into answer some emails after a crazy two weeks of traveling. Normally I’m pretty good at getting work done on the road, but this trip with my wife and various friends through Paris, London, and Amsterdam had taken its toll […]
Lifestyle Design: How to Create the Life You Want
Lifestyle design is a catch-all buzzword that was made famous by Tim Ferriss around 2007.
The concepts of outsourcing your life, working for yourself, and creating a "4 hour work week" might be a little cliche these days, but the reality is that fundamentally they're all things we should be thinking about.
So many of us are in jobs we hate, routines that are dis-enchanting and we're not able to do the things we like to do on a regular basis.
So "designing our lives" to figure out how to integrate more of those things is a really valuable proposition and something we should do more of.
At Location Rebel our lifestyle design posts cover a broad range of topics like travel, blogging, productivity, and bucket lists.

Why A “Bridge Business” Has Been the Missing Piece in Your Life
Seven years. It’s been seven years since I first launched Location Rebel Academy.

I still remember the moment on […]
17 Businesses You Can Run from Anywhere on Earth (And Start Today)
Note: this post has been updated as of March 2019 to maintain accuracy. I still vividly remember the days before Location Rebel (then Location 180) where I’d sit in my cubicle reading blog posts about location independence from Chris Guillebeau. The office building I worked at had an outdoor garden patio, where I used to […]
7 Mistakes Beginning Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Make (And How to Avoid Them)
Over the last 9 years I’ve had the privilege of getting to know, hundreds, if not thousands of budding entrepreneurs who are set on creating a lifestyle brand. In that time, I’ve seen an equal number of “lifestyle design” blogs that have come and gone (can we ditch that term yet?) There’s a harsh reality […]
4 Types of Membership Sites That Will Crush it This Year
Let’s face it, the internet has evolved. Making money online, passive income, lifestyle business – whatever you want to call it – it’s more difficult than it used to be.

Best Travel Hacks: The 5 Travel Hacks that Save Me THOUSANDS Each Year
Unfortunately for me, I have expensive tastes.

For the average person, you’d look at these […]

Here’s What’s Been Going on at Location Rebel…
Yesterday during a deep binge into the dark recesses of our archives, it hit me, that you well, haven’t heard much from me over the past month. I went overboard with our daily blog in September, and then since then it’s been a bit of radio silence as far as posts from me and our […]
