Exploring the world and running a successful business both at the same time seems quite glamorous- no time and workspace boundaries. And the best part, you can make your own work schedule, and be your boss. But, the qualities that make it look attractive, and impressive can also make this awful.
From having the option to choose between exploring the country and doing business and participating in meetings, who would want to do the latter things? Well, not many travelers. Given the freedom, you would definitely unplug work to explore the beauty of the place.
The digital nomadic entrepreneurship is quite appealing but can make you freak out if the internet connection went-off right before your pre-scheduled important meeting.
Nevertheless, you can find a balance between traveling and doing business from the road with just some planning and time management. Of course, settling into this routine would take time as you are constantly changing the time zone and locations. But, once you are into it, things will become smooth.
Here are six proven tips to help you run your business successfully when traveling:
Pre Set Everything:
The first thing you need to do is to keep a check on the things you will need later. This will keep you free from the last-minute urgencies, you might face at the time of leaving. Check all the electronic devices to ensure they are in working condition.
Also, keep track of your availability to manage things with the team who is working in another country. Check when you are the most productive for urgent calls and when you can be more available for conference calls. By doing this, you can plan your day for maximum output and productivity.
Get An Internet Backup:
A low bandwidth doesn’t go for people who travel for business; they need a super-fast internet connection to get things done swiftly. However, when operating a business from different locations or managing offices from different time zones, things can become tricky.
So, get a strong internet connection. You can try Wi-Fi hotspots from your hotel or nearby places to get access to free internet or can go for buying a local SIM card to get access to data.
Have A Virtual Mailbox:
A virtual mailbox in another country will give you a physical address, which you can set as your permanent address. To this permanent address, you can easily direct all your emails. In fact, according to Josh from Travel China Cheaper, a virtual mailbox can function as your registered business address as long as it’s in the same state where your business is actually registered.
Also, a virtual mailbox will give you access to open and read emails from anywhere. Besides, it minimizes the chance of emails or anything getting stolen and more. Some virtual mailbox providers even shred your physical mail and delete it from the mailbox, adding more security to your confidential emails.
Use Cloud For Updating And Sharing Things:
Keeping things on the cloud has revolutionized the way businesses store important information. Apps like One Drive, Dropbox, cloud, and more make sharing files and documents with teams easy and hassle-free.
Moreover, if you are in your room or on different land, the cloud service lets you stay updated, and you can schedule a meeting with your clients/staff.
Outsource Task, If Needed:
If you are traveling to the areas where the internet connectivity is low, you can ask virtual assistants to handle some of your work. A virtual assistant can help you in customer support work, booking appointments, scheduling work, and more.
Collaborative Communication will Ease The Work:
Online collaboration has changed the way people communicate and do business. Tools like Skype, Google Drive, and Trello are perfect when you are working with different projects and are collaborating with other virtual assistants.
