11 – How To Travel The World, Crush It In Business, Living With Your Family In 40+ Countries – Brandon Pearce

This is a special treat for me. Why? Because Brandon Pearce has the life I want. Period.

I’m willing to bet he spends less time on his business than you or I combined. He’s traveled the world with his wife and three kids for over 10 years, and he’s been to over 40+ countries, all while his businesses run on auto pilot.

Yes, that’s right, I said business(es). His daughter even has a business! It’s a video production company called Crystal Cut Studios (I mean come on!)

In this episode I’m sharing with you a conversation of pure gold I had with Brandon Pearce. He is the founder of Music Teachers Helper, founded in 2004, now a one hour a work week job.

Brandon has been featured on The 4 Hour Workweek with Tim Ferriss, The $100 Startup and other amazing travel-living-life-hacking-less-working books.  Brandon has a magic touch running other businesses as well. And he did all of this while traveling for more than 10 years with his family.

Together with his family, Brandon designed Family Adventure Summit and Family Adventure Academy (just for parents), which are events focused on how to educate kids on the road from birth to university, how to earn location independent income, and create thriving family relationships. (Isn’t this freaking amazing!?) They also organize the “At home in the world family retreat”, where you can deeper explore how to be at home with yourself, at home with your family and at home with the world, wherever you happen to be.

Brandon emphasizes how important a role great books have had on his road to growth and transformation. By cutting his work time he made his business more successful and even managed to start new ones that branched out of the Musics Teachers Helper. (He tracks his time like a NINJA and makes sure that he uses it wisely. He even developed a super sophisticated but simple to use time tracking tool – which I started using recently.)

He treats his time with so much love and care – he tracks it not only to look back and see if he is spending it on the things that he values, but because that keeps him present on what he is focusing and working on.

 

Highlights:

  • “All you need is a commitment and a desire and you can figure out how to make it work. But it doesn’t come by accident. It does have an element of luck and timing, but it also requires the ability to recognize the moment and to do the work to put it out there.”
  • If traveling inspires you, you can find a way to do it, but maybe it’s not for everybody, maybe something else is calling, so pay attention to it regardless of what it is!
  • He is the founder of Music Teachers Helper, founded in 2004, now a 1 hour a week job.
