If you want more freedom, more control over your life and your income, more time to spend with friends and family, and the opportunity to live and travel where you desire… If you want a business that you can run from anywhere, then you’ve found yourself in the right place.

Have you ever found yourself asking “Is this all there is?”

Maybe you find yourself on the path to the so-called “American Dream”, wasting the best years of your life in a small cubicle, grinding long hours to impress your boss, faithfully towing the the corporate line.

They promise you stability, security, wealth (if you pay your dues and play by the rules)… And eventually, they promise you can retire, exhausted and burnt out at 65-years-old (or is it 70 now?), finally able to enjoy life’s riches: cherished time with your family, exotic travel, and the opportunity to pursue your passions.

But if you haven’t noticed recently, all of these false promises are crashing down all around us. The system doesn’t work anymore.

Maybe not consciously, but in some corner of your mind, you’ve recognized that the world is changing, the economy is changing, and you can’t rely upon these old, broken systems to provide the stability you demand, and the remarkable life that you were once promised when you were a child.

Take a look around you. Is this the life you want to lead? Or is this what someone else decided for you?

It’s time to take back control, to take responsibility for yourself, your financial security, your family and the people around you, and learn how to provide for yourself, create rather than constantly consume, and build something of your own, in order to put the reigns firmly back in your hands… so that you can determine where you want to go and what you want to do in this life.

‘Cause the house always wins. Play long enough, you never change the stakes. The house takes you. Unless, when that perfect hand comes along, you bet and you bet big… then you take the house.

–Danny Ocean, Ocean’s Eleven 

Digital Nomads are a new breed of resourceful entrepreneurs who are hacking the system, leveraging current economic conditions to live prosperously on their own terms, and to live and work anywhere they please.

After watching a few people bend the rules of reality, one day I decided that rather than waiting for retirement and dreaming about exotic travel and the kind of lifestyle I really wanted to have, I’d spend a year building a business that I could run remotely from anywhere on the globe.

And in November 2008, I got on a plane for Asia with a one-way ticket. I was amazed that I could enjoy a flexible and hugely fulfilling lifestyle once I got outside “the box”, and I could very easily stretch my income much further overseas, living like a virtual king even while I continued to bootstrap my business. And I found that I have the ability to truly make an impact in the lives of others, all around the world, all at the same time as having a complete blast!

I partied hard and made literally hundreds of friends from around the world in Bangkok… I volunteered with orphaned kids in the countryside… I went rock climbing on magnificent limestone karsts in Krabi… I’ve spoken at conferences in Kuala Lumpur… met multi-millionaires in Singapore…  surfed and lazed around luxury private pool villas in beautiful Bali… spent month-long retreats on the serene, tropical paradise island of Koh Phangan, taking in it’s gorgeous sunsets… I even ended up being a movie extra once!

Now, after traveling through Hong Kong, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore, Bali, and basing myself throughout Thailand for nearly three years, I have no plans to stop anytime soon.

I’m not tied down to any one geographical location. Running a location-independent business online, and living my life this way has opened many doors to people and experiences I wouldn’t ever have back in my “normal” life, that I would have never dreamed I’d have.

Digital Nomad Academy was created after it became clear to me that there is NO central place, no institution educating or training people to create a successful mobile lifestyle.

For years, I have been on a mission to empower young professionals and entrepreneurs to follow an unconventional path, strive for excellence, and make a positive difference in the world by doing what they’re truly passionate about.

After five years of experimentation, trial and error, failure, and exploration, I’d finally made this work for myself, I’d helped several others make it work, and I’d found dozens, maybe hundreds, of extremely successful people who were doing the same.

I’ve learned such a tremendous amount along the way, distilled the best knowledge and resources, put it into practice, and made it work, and finally it hit me that I was in a position where I could help show other people the path—I could turn around and teach others the lessons (and loopholes) I have learned, and I could bring together many of my peers (who have developed much more impressive businesses than me, and are living even more exotic lifestyles!) to share their knowledge as well.

So I made it my job to build a place where we could all work together, to connect you with key people that I’ve learned from and that I look up to, and to give you the benefit of a five-year head start that I’ve had to learn through the school of hard knocks.

The digital nomad lifestyle ISN’T for everyone. But if you’re here reading this, it probably IS for you.

There are too many people all over the world who crave more freedom, more flexibility, more adventure, who are stuck at home or in the cubicle living vicariously reading OTHER people’s blogs.

We’re here to change that.

“I have my first client… I also have my first affiliate marketing product! … My husband is understandably nervous about my crazy plan. So when I said I wanted to quit in August, he nominated August 31 as the day I quit. … So we’re going to hit Chiang Mai in September, in time for my my birthday!”

–Barbara Adam, TheDropoutDiaries.com, Singapore (now Chiang Mai!)

Digital Nomad Academy isn’t anything like other online courses available right now.

We want entrepreneurs everywhere to have access to stellar training and coaching—everything you need to achieve ultramobility and do work that you’re truly excited and passionate about.

What sets Digital Nomad Academy apart from every other product and course in this arena right now is our focus on direct mentorship, interaction, and participation.

They say that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with… and I sincerely believe in the transformative power of mentoring, MasterMinding, and collaborating closely with other people who have successfully achieved what you want to achieve, and with ambitious, like-minded individuals whose energies are also focused on the same goals.

Well, DNA is a virtual university where that’s exactly what you’ll get, where you’re going to have to invest considerable time and effort, but you’re going to come out on the other side with a great deal of practical knowledge, experience, relationships with a wide variety of people who have DONE IT successfully, and a massive support network.

I’ve spent the last 6 years connecting with some incredible entrepreneurs around the world, and the highest-value benefit you get here inside the Academy is direct access to them:

Other products are content-focused (which is great, and we have plenty of that as well), whereas DNA is more about connecting you with other people.

If you are seriously committed to making the effort required, and ready to make a considerable investment in yourself & your business to change your life this year, then DNA is the place for you. And you’re going to learn from the best damned teachers there are.

“The 1 Year Roadmap has really enabled me to sky rocket with a lot of my goals… I feel like having milestones, deadlines & small goals leading me to them is helping me reach my goals faster and it’s holding me accountable. Being in DNA I feel a lot more focused, and with that focus I have been able to spread my reach of helping others… I just wanted to thank you for being a guiding light and supportive force in my life. By supporting one individual, you’re supporting many individuals. The focus and energy that I get from the DNA community, from Thrilling Heroics & from you, that impacts what I create and how I help others.”

Digital Nomad Academy gives you Direct Access to Top Performing, Successful Lifestyle Business Experts

These are just a few of the successful DNA teachers and contributors whose location-independent businesses collectively bring in millions of dollars a year.

We give you direct access to dozens and dozens of successful digital nomads from all backgrounds who are doing amazing things, so you can ask your questions from the right people who have the right answers to help you overcome all your fears and give you everything you need to build a successful freedom business of your own.

These are just a few of the experienced nomadic entrepreneurs and experts who have already committed their time to our students on Weekly DNA Mentorship Calls and Interactive Guest Lectures:

Dan and his partners have a series of niche manufacturing businesses with offices in San Diego, the Philippines, and a plant in China, that’s set to bring in over $1 million this year. He’s now based in beautiful Bali, though he’s spent the last several years in the Philippines, where he’s become a leading authority on outsourcing. Meanwhile he co-hosts the #1 podcast for lifestyle designers and lifestyle entrepreneurs, The Lifestyle Business Podcast, and sponsors the Tropical MBA internship program.

Corbett started a major Silicon Valley tech company, raised $3 million in venture capital, had employees and the whole package, when he and his wife decided to take a six-month sabbatical to Mexico. Now he has built his own small business around two successful blogs, earning over six figures a year. They typically spend half the year at home in San Francisco and spend their summers either on the sunny Mexican coast or in Eastern Europe.

Now one of the most high-profile marketers and bloggers online, at age 18, Glen left the UK when he was headhunted as a social media marketer for some major big brands like Hewlett Packard and Land Rover. At age 22, he sold perhaps the most high-profile personal development blog on the web (PluginID.com) for a very healthy sum, and he’s been traveling and living in South Africa, Amsterdam, and Asia since, funded by niche site income.

Nora had a successful financial planning practice in Canada when she realized her life’s dream to travel extensively around the world was passing her by. In 2006, she sold everything she owned to travel the world full-time and has already set foot in 15 countries while she works as a freelance travel writer. Her travels have taken her to Hawaii, across Asia, Australia, throughout Europe, New Zealand, and the Caribbean, and along the way she’s discovered the secrets to permanent full-time travel for less than $14,000 a year.

Rolf is one of the most accomplished travel journalists of our time, having reported from over 60 countries for major venues like National Geographic Traveler, The New Yorker, Outside, and the Travel Channel. He is a high-profile proponent of independent travel. He authored the groundbreaking Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel, followed by Marco Polo Didn’t Go There, which details personal anecdotes from 10 years of traveling and travel writing. With his extensive experience traveling on a shoestring, Rolf shows how nearly anyone can achieve the dream of extended overseas travel.

Adam, his wife Courtney, and their three year old daughter Milligan spent over a year living and traveling abroad, in Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand. They spent a year preparing for their trip, selling all of their possessions, and getting out of $18,000 in consumer debt, so Adam brings a lot of insight into personal finance and minimalism. This year, they’ve voyaged all around North America in a newly-purchased RV.

Sean quit his full time job and utilized a special Tropical MBA internship with Dan Andrews (one of our dedicated Faculty members, above) and a few location-independent side jobs to build his expertise in Search Engine Optimization and create an information product business of his own that affords him an incredible lifestyle.

Max (formerly known as Markus Urban) has made over a million dollars through affiliate marketing in the last decade, and is now “living on impulse” as he calls it, able to jetset with his fiance anywhere from Thailand to Vegas to Italy on a whim. He and Ashley travel frequently between Florida, New York, Mexico, and basically wherever the fuck they want, doing shit most people literally can only dream of. Seriously, go watch the video on his incredible website.

Karol is a location-independent blogger who’s made a solid living with affiliate marketing for the last several years, traveled in Europe, India, Asia, and put out some great products of his own—about minimalism, how to stay productive, and the nomadic lifestyle—and gotten involved in some really fun adventures like a cross-country rollercoaster tour. He lives life on his own terms, where he wants to, he’s not afraid to be himself, and he’s on a mission to help 100 people achieve Ridiculously Extraordinary Freedom.

Benny has been traveling for 9 years, during which time he’s picked up quite a lot of short-cuts, unconventional learning techniques, and a pretty good mentality that has hugely helped him to learn 8+ languages, and earn the title “the Irish Polyglot”. He’s had many jobs along the way, but in recent years made his way as a location independent freelance translator of technical documents, and now as a language coach and through selling his own language products.

Chris and Cherie are two gen-X geeks and technology-enabled nomads, in other words, technomads. They started working remotely via cellular data, laptop and solar power in 2006, traveled cross-country full time across the US from 2007, spent five months out in the tropical US Virgin Islands on St. John, and now they’re back on the road again in a vintage GM bus. They earn their income through their full-fledged tech and software development company, working for clients and recently developing consumer iPhone applications.

Brian is the author of A Philosopher’s Notes, who has distilled the knowledge of all the greatest minds of history and created a handful of lucrative small lifestyle businesses with his wife that allowed them to live in luxury on the “Island of the Gods” on Bali, Indonesia, and now back home in Los Angeles, and that also has a positive mission at its heart and helps make the world a better place.

Andy launched two online ventures at once. Sharing Travel Experiences is an online travel lifestyle magazine where he puts to use many of the skills he developed when he used to do a lot of writing for clients, and Travel Online Partners is a tourism marketing company that he has spent time working on while he’s been in Spain, Canada, and California in the last year. He is also an iPhone app developer and a published travel author.

Maneesh is a 24 year old Stanford dropout who found a way to completely build himself out of his business 100%. Since then, he’s been traveling the world for 3 years, living and learning the languages of five countries, starting NGOs, throwing DJ parties with Tim Ferriss, doing pushups, and finding all kinds of ways to take advantage of the system and basically be incredibly awesome.

The Soultravelers3 are a digital nomadic family into their fifth year of an open-ended world tour, who’ve been featured in Tim Ferriss’ second edition of  The 4-Hour Workweek. They’ve raised their daughter to be tri-ligual in Chinese, Spanish and English, and they’ve now seen 38 countries on 5 continents, usually spending their winters in Malaysia and summers in Spain.

Chris is a British national who has lived for 11 years in the Philippines and built up an impressive outsourcing firm with nearly 300 employees, helping matchmake entrepreneurs and businesses with ideal virtual assistants and more. At the end of 2009, he decided he was done working 14-hour days, six days a week though. He set a 1-year goal to get out of the office, and worked his ass off to become a virtual CEO so he can work from home and spend time with his wife and young son.

Josh is an independent business professor, education activist, and author of The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business. After spending time as a Proctor & Gamble brand manager, and after reading thousands of books related to business, economics, psychology, communication, mathematics, science, and systems theory, Josh designed the Personal MBA business self-education program, which synthesizes the essentials of sound business practice into a comprehensive, world-class program.

Hannah and Chris are a delightful couple from the UK who transformed their work into a location independent business together. Hannah took her background in psychology, organizational development, and counseling with fire & rescue service employees, and together with Chris’ background in systems, networking, web development, and IT they’ve build multiple online-based businesses that provide consulting, assessments, and other services for firefighter recruitment, promotions, and training.

That’s me! I’ve made my income primarily through my marketing & web development company for five years, and now spend much of my time building online communities like Untemplater and Digital Nomad Academy, all while living in Southern Thailand on the gorgeous Andaman Sea. I’ve traveled to 25 countries, including all of North America, France, the UK, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Switzerland, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, and more, and I’ve lived in Asia for nearly three years now.

Since our students are all over the world, all classes are delivered via webinar/phone and are recorded for easy access if you miss one. If you can’t be on the live teleconference calls, we’ll always make call recordings available for all members to listen / download in the DNA Mentorship Call Library afterwards.

“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

—Steve Jobs

“It’s amazing I never even thought in my life that I was going to be able to learn all this stuff from all these amazing people, and now I’m doing it thanks to you, thanks for everything!”
