  • Summary

  • What is the laptop lifestyle and how do you get there?

    This week we join Chris and Jack at their villa in Tenerife as they discuss the benefits and gains of the ‘laptop lifestyle’.

    This podcast finds the boys giving their views on what this lifestyle means to them, what it entails and how they have got there within their businesses. 
    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    What is the Laptop Lifestyle? “Whatever your business is and looking at it and how can I step away and be able to work remotely anywhere.”

    “Doesn’t matter what stage you’re at, it won’t have any value, it won’t enable you to have the freedom you’re looking for unless you start doing these things from the beginning.”

    “You can only sell a company, and there is so much value, it will genuinely add actual monetary value to your company if it’s systemised, processed, has bookkeeping from day one and it’s clean and tidy. That company will be worth way more because they’re buying into that lifestyle you’ve created.”

    “Whatever business, you’ve got 4 key elements. Finance, operations, sales and marketing. Behind those elements you need to have systems and processes that lie beneath them.”

    “Whatever gets you paid should be your sole focus and get rid of everything else.”

    “If you can get yourself to the position where you can walk away and work just 1-2 hours reviewing what your company’s doing, you’re building a business of true value.”

    BEST MOMENTS

    “You can’t have this lifestyle unless you’ve got the day to day operations covered.”

    “Set your business up so you can be free from it.”

    “A company that is reliant on you is worthless.”

    “It doesn’t matter what position you’re in, at some point, depending on why you’re starting your business, you’re going to want to go on holiday for 2 weeks and forget about your job, otherwise you just become more trapped than what you were if you had the 9-5, having 25 days worth of annual leave.”

    “With the laptop lifestyle and the freedom that we’ve got right now, social media is a massive point, but don’t go wasting hours and hours and hours creating content that is completely not talking about the business that you’re building.”
