So, remember that post I made asking how you would leverage local flexibility for the benefit of growing your business?
Well, I found my answer.
As I write this, I’m in Boston. I’ve been here for three days, and will be here for the entire month of July. After Boston, I’ll be going to Chicago for August and September. Denver/Boulder for October.
And so on, and so forth. For 12 months.
Through the trip, I intend to make use of my physical location to meet some great and interesting people, grow my business, and see some fantastic cities around the USA.

This blog will still be updated on it’s usual sporadoc schedule, with the atypical quirks you’d expect to leave my brain. Like this crazy trip.

If you could travel around the country, spending 4-8 weeks in each city you chose, to grow your consulting business, how would you do it?
There have been many conversations about leveraging the flexibility of locations now afforded by technology in order to free up your time for the things you want. But what happens when you want to grow your business? What if you want to use that flexibility to work from many different places, and apply the use of your physical presence to grow your business rather than your vacation?

Instead of the usual nutrition/fitness stuff, I figured I’d put together a list of some things that have caught my eye over the past week or so.
- PatrickRhone.com - One of my new favorite blogs. One of the best designs I’ve seen in a long time, great writing, and similar interests. I’m not quite there on the GTD stuff, but his interest in it seems to bring forth other great things like this 37 Signals article on Workplace Experiments. For those that have worked with me in the past, it’ll be quite clear why I like that post.
- Confident Goal Setting - I’m currently constructing an ontology for improvement, and this post references a great experiment that took a person of “average intelligence,” worked with them for 3-5 hours a week, and brought that person’s memory level (tested by memorizing random strings of numbers) to that of the best memories in the world…well, within the realm of random number. I’m waiting on the specific details of the experiment, but you can see how well this fits in with deliberate practice and expert performance.
- Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sleep - When it suddenly hit me that sleep was simply a series of chemical reactions in the body, I started researching further to see how it could be hacked for more optimal performance (ie: less sleep, more benefits). This article is mostly geared toward the chemical process of sleep, and is certain to help lead you to more specific research and questions.
- AnyWired.com - A new blog I found today about the cross between lifestyle design, entrepreneurship, and doing business online. Sounds comforting.
