If you have to work staying put for a while is just what you have to do, just try do it somewhere you actually like. That said if you find yourself having to stop somewhere longer than expected too often you’ll need to address that so that whatever those issues are can be dealt with by someone else of more efficiently.

Whenever I’m out of the office I have to delegate super effectively. I write up the plans but mostly I try to have folks run things by the credo or principles.

The wonderful thing you get reminded on the road is — wherever you go, you take you with you, and your skills are your best asset.

I guess you’d really need to be at the stage where your business is semi-automatic to be able to travel with your business quite comfortably and enjoy the fun at the same time.

Traveling or not traveling, I know that this is something I really need to get set up and running. I’m beyond clueless on the whole subject! I tried to research it at one point, but I got confused somewhere and it died. I lost a lot of data a few months ago – scans – because I copied it to a disk in a hurry and then deleted it, later to find out that it hadn’t copied. I couldn’t recover it at all because they were all jpegs. This was a side-affect of travel to a degree because I was in a rush, packing and preparing for a flight, and I slipped up.

I would be very interested to know about good backup solutions! Especially something that could be done automatically regularly. But if you use Mac, you might not know what’s right for PC users. Just a thought though.

This article you left your comment on ended with me asking a question of my readers as to what questions they would like answered regarding traveling overseas with a business. Hence most of the comments are questions.

I haven’t answered these as I intend to respond to them, at least those that I think are relevant to the majority, in future resources, which I mentioned in the article.

I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear and I can understand how reading through all these comments without my response might make me look a little rude.

With so many questions it’s often best to respond in an article anyway, which generally is more widely read than comments to an article, so I’d actually suggest to bloggers that they respond with a new article rather than in comments if a lot of questions surface in response to one article. That’s a great way to create new content for your blog.

Obviously you need to plan for certain things like conference calls or interviews, but that’s just a case of keeping your calendar up to date.

If you are the kind of person like me who enjoys working, the balance between about 3 hours of work and the rest of the day doing other things works really well.
