    Hola Amigos! In today's episode, I share the unexpected turns from Bali to Kuala Lumpur and how these detours parallel the unexpected challenges we face when changing careers or starting new ventures.

  • Ep 31 - Why Starting a Business Feels Like Jet Lag (And How to Get Through It)

    Hola Amigos! Welcome to the first episode of 2025! In this episode, I'm sharing my recent journey to Bali and how dealing with jet lag got me thinking about how starting something new, whether it's a business, a career shift, or a new lifestyle, is a lot like adjusting to a new time zone. It's all about embracing discomfort, staying patient, and focusing on small daily wins.

    What I Talk About in This Episode:
    • The story of my trip to Bali, including an unexpected layover in China where I met another traveler in the exact same situation as me.
    • How dealing with jet lag mirrors stepping into entrepreneurship or making a big life change.
      • Disruption of routine: Whether it's changing time zones or starting a business, it throws your usual habits out of sync.
      • Patience and persistence: Neither jet lag nor building a successful business happens overnight—it's a process.
      • Embracing discomfort: Being uncomfortable is part of the journey, but if you stick with it, things will eventually feel natural.
    My Tips for Getting Over Jet Lag:
    1. Sync your schedule immediately – The first thing I did when I landed in Bali was set my watch and get on the local time zone as soon as possible.
    2. Stay hydrated and eat light – Long flights can leave you dehydrated and sluggish. Staying hydrated and eating smaller meals helped me recover faster.
    3. Get sunlight and move your body – Sunlight in the morning helps reset your internal clock, and moving around boosts your energy.
    4. Rest and be patient – Everyone adjusts differently. Give yourself grace, focus on small wins, and stay consistent.
    Key Takeaway:

    Whether it's jet lag or starting something new, embracing change, focusing on small wins, and staying patient are key. What feels foreign today will eventually become second nature.

    Whether you're planning to leave the 9-5, start a business, or just want more freedom, this episode has the blueprint you need.

    Want More?

    In this episode, I also share actionable steps that launched my digital nomad lifestyle, including how to:

    • Set smart objectives
    • Stay accountable
