get paid on the road rv entrepreneurA lot of people would love to buy an RV and travel America for an extended period of time, but travel isn’t free. One obvious solution is to wait until you’re older and have plenty of money saved for traveling, or escape on short vacations throughout the year. But for some, this isn’t enough. Some people want to hit the road full-time, downsize their lives, and experience America while they still have the energy to appreciate everything they see.

So, the question is… how do you buy an RV, travel full-time, and not go into debt or lose a ton of money?

Start a business you can run from anywhere.

Inside my book, The RV Entrepreneur, I’ll share with you how to transition from living in one place to buying an RV, starting a business, and hitting the road (not always in that order) using examples from my own businesses and from fellow RVers I’ve interviewed on the podcast.

The goal of this book is to present you with practical ideas and inspiration for how you can make a living while traveling America in an RV.

I won’t make the false promise that by the end of this book you’ll be a millionaire. I hate those types of promises. I do promise to share with you everything I’ve learned about how to find financially beneficial opportunities while on the road and what I’ve learned from interviewing over 25 different RV entrepreneurs.

While we’re on the subject of making millions, I feel inclined to tell you that none of the RV entrepreneurs I feature in this book are actually millionaires. Most of them don’t even have employees (but some do). These are people who created businesses around a central goal: live simple, travel, and have a high quality of life while still earning a living.

Build A Business Anywhere

Our generation is realizing that “the dream” of buying a bunch of crap, putting half of it in storage, and signing your life away on a mortgage is a terrible way to live. Plus, we no longer have to choose between meaningful work and a geographic location– we can now have both.

We can create companies with remote teams that reach millions of people all over the world, and do it all from our RV, van, fifth wheel, bus or tiny house while traveling across America.

The RV Entrepreneur documents how a new generation of tech-savvy, location independent entrepreneurs are building businesses that allow them to travel anywhere.
