Let me be honest here: When Josh and I started our first business together, we knew NOTHING about running a business properly, hacking our productivity, or even setting ourselves up for growth. We were just two cocky wannabe moguls who thought we knew evvvverything. Fast-forward a few months later and we were overwhelmed, burnt out, and struggling to get a grip on our business! While that period of time was insanely stressful, it pushed us to start finding tools that could help us manage our day-to-day operations, as well as streamline our lives And let me tell you - it was the BEST thing we ever did for ourselves and our business. Score! Curious to know what these time-saving...errr....SANITY-saving tools are? You know what to do. *psssst* You just click the play button at the top of the page,download this in iTunes or listen on Stitcher.

If there is one thing we know, it's how to settle into a new town, city, or island as quickly as possible, in order to get back into a routine and continue running our business. But it wasn't always that way. When we first started travelling we would take aaaages to figure out where we wanted to live, where we wanted to work, and what amenities were important to us; like having a bar close by. These days we try and get up and running within 72 hours so we can get back into the swing of things and enjoy our new surroundings once we're set up. Sure, this isn't the only way to do it, but it has worked like a dream for us in the past so we figured, hey, why not share the love...and unsolicited advice! Because it can be easy to get distracted and act like a tourist when you're in a new place...but that might not always be the best thing for your business. And really, when you're first starting out with a business together, its growth should be a big priority! Unless growth and money isn't important...but really, let's not kid ourselves here. *wink* Curious to hear what lessons we learned after fumbling our way through our first few attempts at living in a new location?

Today we are gettin' a little craaaaazaaaay and chatting with a couple who are still in their 9-5 jobs. Well, sorta....but I'll let them explain. We met Sophie and Carl back in 2013 in Chiang Mai when they got in touch with us after hearing about us from Mish and Rob's site, and were BLOWN AWAY by their dedication, hustle, and determination to make this lifestyle work for them. At the time they were each balancing demanding jobs and then coming home and working on their business at night and on weekends. I mean, I just freakin' love that level of dedication and belief! Which is why we knew we HAD to get them on the show, because we think it's important (and helpful!) to hear from a couple that isn't quite free of their 9-5's (yet!), but are actively taking the steps to make that happen. Because let's face it: Just because you might want to screw your 9-5 job doesn't mean you can always just get up and quit. Instead, you need an escape plan to help you get to the point where you have replaced your income and can phase yourself out of your day job. Which is exactly what we're going to be talking about in this episode! Trust me, it's a must-listen for anyone still in their job, but dreaming of quitting.

I'm not going to lie, when Josh and I started out with our first affiliate site we made a LOT of mistakes: From the theme we used for our website to our reluctance to create a newsletter, the lack of a Fast-forward to today and it is one of our biggest and most active websites in our arsenal, and we are incredibly grateful to have stumbled along and made a whole slew of mistakes right up front. Why? Because it allowed us to fail fast, and learn even faster. I mean, if it wasn't for those (at the time) humiliating slip ups we would never know what we know today. We also started looking for different resources that could help finesse our online business, and realized there are 5 essential elements that every single online business needs no matter what industry you're in or monetization model you use.

Working together as joint authors, these two have just celebrated their 10 year wedding anniversary (Congratulations!) and released their 4th book, Married with Luggage, that is all about love and travel.
Listen in as these two lay down some serious insight on what it takes to live, work, and travel with the one you love most. And don't forget to tune in for a new episode next Monday at 7am EST. Click Here to Subscribe and Make Sure You Never Miss an EpisodeWords of Wisdom in This Week's Podcast:

Josh and I have a confession to make... Sometimes our work life and love life come crashing together, but not in a sexy we're-still-in-the-honeymoon-phase-let's-renew-our-vows kind of way. Au contraire mon frere! In fact, there have been days when things got...ummm...a little emotional, shall we say. I mean, the fact of the matter is, running a business and being in a loving relationship together can get sloppy when you don't take careful measures to separate the two. So how does one go about separating work from love? Listen in and find out! And don't forget to tune in for a new episode every Thursday at 7am EST.
