The best part of living on the road is the freedom to work from anywhere. The worst part of working on the road is that you have to work from anywhere! Right now I am actually living and working out of a friend’s house, so I have the best of all worlds - wifi, van, bed, shower, kitchen, office space and everything I need to stay organized and more focused. I’ve started several ebooks on HOW to be mobile AND productive. And it’s been quite interesting!
