So you travel a lot…so what! Any successful person who lives on the road for business knows that they way to make more money is to get out there and see more clients. So why when the rains of heaven come down when we’re trying to catch a flight, every grown professional loses their mind? This is the life you’ve chosen to live, just like commuters hitting traffic every morning and every night. Embrace it, be productive and MOVE ON!
If you haven’t read my first book, “Living with No Balance and Loving It” – here are some tips to keep you calm during the hectic dog days of summer travel – you know you need this!
Summer storms are usually worse than winter storms. The lightning and tornadoes keep planes on the ground. So, get real with your technology – make sure your mobile office is really set up for travel. I can’t tell you how many people I have to lend my power cords too and so many other things because they were only expecting to be gone for 1 day of travel. Are you kidding? Always be prepared – charge your devices and maybe yourself!
Pack smart! Your business suit is not fun to set around in at the airport – either change before getting to the airport or travel with a change of clothes – it is not fun eating your pizza on the floor of ORD in your Armani suit.
Bring entertainment – download those Netflix episodes PRIOR to your travel so they’re all ready to go!
You can always reach out to me for more tips when it comes to travel since I do live on the road and love the smell of jet fuel in the morning!
