Today's topic: The Digital Lifestyle. Hi I'm Doug Holt with Author of Your Own
Story and this is your daily growth hack where each day we give you a tip trick
or insight to help you up level what we call the five to thrive that is your
mind your body your soul your relationships and your business now I
just got back from the beach and I'm here in beautiful Santa Barbara
California and we're staying on a beach house overlooking the ocean it's
absolutely magnificent so I'm running up here to shoot this daily growth act
because I just got off the phone with an old client of mine and when I got the
phone I related the conversation to a colleague of mine who said you know what
that's a perfect daily growth hack because Doug you get asked this question
all the time and they were totally right I've been asked this question four times
today alone and the question goes something like this
Doug love what you're doing but I want it - I want a lifestyle that actually
works around me and my goals and my dreams really what they're saying is I
want to develop a digital lifestyle where I can travel where I want to go
still run my business still affect people in a positive way but I don't
know how to do it I feel like I'm chained to my current business or to
whatever I'm doing currently whether you be a business owner or an employer or
see the employee that doesn't really matter these people all happen to be
business owners and that's really my circle of influence now so what really
was asking is this is an old client of mine and he said gee what can I do now
what is the fast track what's the fast track sir I just shrink it a job with
somebody that's digital and sell my business should I just go to our class I
can take no MBA really covers this how do I do this Doug what's the next step
now he was a young business owner and so what I told them was the same thing when
I tell you it's the same thing I would tell you if you've been in business for
30 or 40 years running a business digitally is no different than running a
brick-and-mortar business you must master the fundamentals of business you
must master all those skills first what people don't see they don't see that I
started this journey ten years ago by hiring my first virtual
we which forced me to actually build the systems around my business and really
learn and learn exactly what needed to be done what communication styles what
software to use how I could run this in a digital matter you see back then I
owned three businesses one of them being a brick-and-mortar business that
actually required me to be at that physical location for the most the time
this is 2007 I remember exactly where I was sitting writing in my journal and
realizing that I was not living the life of my dreams I was not being the author
of my own story so I'm going to share with you exactly
what I told this individual this morning so what I told them was look digital
lifestyle is great you want to make sure though that your business works around
your lifestyle and not doing the opposite of what the 99% of the rest of
people do is they work their lifestyle around their business always hoping to
have a vacation always waiting to live life when they're done with work see
being a digital nomad means you're almost always working yeah although I
was just down on the beach I'm down here with one of my employees and of course
we're enjoying that we're having a great time but at the same time we're also
talking business strategy and while we're doing that I have it so I can pull
out a mobile device and talk to the rest of my team so for me it's an iPhone and
I'm able to chat with them on slack or HipChat or some other system we use
boxer we have different protocols for each of our systems this is what works
for me and so one of the reasons I record these daily growth acts isn't
just to hear myself speak really what I'm doing is I'm actually decided to do
this so I could speak to Doug 10 years ago the idea was what if I could talk to
myself 10 years ago and help him leapfrog all the things that I've done
the courses the classes the mistakes all the experiences that brought me here
today to allow me to live a lifestyle that I'm truly grateful for and one that
actually Garner's all these questions about how do I live this life this is
also exactly why we created the author of your own story University launching
September 1st we wanted a structure program because there's no place for me
to direct people every time I get asked this I don't have
a place to send somebody I don't tell you where to go what class you can take
it's a multitude I've read thousands of books I've taken courses I spent well
over half a million dollars on this program what I want to do is share that
all with everybody else this is just like the overnight success you know
there's no such thing as an overnight success yet each of us is still trying
to achieve that so an overnight success is really something to put in the hard
work and their success is overnight only because you're now seeing the shining
star and so this is exactly what I told this young business owner I said look
yeah I can recommend books yeah there's some online courses I can recommend for
you as well but there's not a structured program that exists today that I'm aware
of that allows you the opportunity to develop a digital lifestyle or a life on
your own terms that really allows you to be the true author of your own story you
see because the digital lifestyle isn't just about business you also need to
balance your relationships your fitness your soul and also of course your
business and your mind this is where we came up with a five to thrive this is a
holistic aspect because I'll tell you when I first started the digital
lifestyle I was missing a lot of the legs to this table I had the business
but I was missing some of the relationship issues I was missing some
of the things with wellness there are all kinds of things falling as I was
juggling all these plates because now you have ultimate freedom and schedule
but less structured so what do you do with that how does your time become
efficient but then it's easy to work all the time because you don't have any
hours so these are things that people often don't think of when they think of
the dream of the business lifestyle or of the digital lifestyle and these are
things I want to share with you because you can have it and you can have it all
and you should and you deserve it so go out today what I want you do is
grab your journal write out the reasons why you want the digital lifestyle and
maybe this doesn't apply to you if it doesn't don't worry about it
but I do get to ask this question at least 2 times a day if not more every
day on social media in person people just want to know how do I do it there's
no secret its structured educational learning and again this is exact
why we're opening the author of your own story University because to our
knowledge we can't find it anywhere else to direct somebody and so this is a
limited group of people we're taking through structured educational forms
it's not about a digital lifestyle it's about a holistic balance will pick one
topic every month a generalized topic and we deep deep
dive into it we deep dive into it such a way that we creating meaningful
conversations discussion and growth out of that topic as well as we roll into
the next month it's another topic that builds upon that
layer by layer to allow you to leapfrog my ten plus years of experience doing
this as well as our team you see need to remember that my team is also living the
digital lifestyle and they're also growth motivated these are the kind of
people I surround myself with and this is why I've become the author of my own
story I'm really passionate about this and I hope this is coming through
because I get asked us so much I want you to have it all I want you to live
the life of your dreams and if it encourages or includes this I want to
help you get there that's all I have for you today I'd love to hear your comments
as I always do in the Facebook group go over to author of your own story calm if
you haven't already and get on that waitlist for the author of your own
story University it's not a commitment just means we're accepting the first 50
people that apply and get accepted because not everybody's going to get
accepted into the program and I want to make sure you have that opportunity I've
done this before where we've had people come in and even it's 51 or 60 and they
just can't get in and I feel bad but I need to limit this so I can focus my
personal attention on helping those people and helping giving them and
deliver the best that's it for me today just a reminder go out today and be the
author of your own story
