How To Create a Lifestyle Business With Crowdfunding

It’s not really about the money, it’s about the lifestyle dummy! I don’t like it when people create a false choice: make a bunch of money and hate what you do OR love what you do and don’t worry about money. Why not have both? People lack imagination. It is very possible to love what you do AND make a ton of money.

That’s why I use crowdfunding to launch my businesses. It gives me more flexibility. Instead of just looking for business opportunities in my area or thinking about some way to simply ‘make money’, I focus on my interests and passions. Why make six figures a year doing something that you hate?

This lead me to think about a LIFESTYLE BUSINESS. A good lifestyle business is where the daily activities are fun as hell. For example, one of the things I always need to do is take pictures with sunglass models in exotic locations. I’m cool with doing that. It doesn’t feel like work at all. Its an adventure. That my friend, is a lifestyle business and its possible with crowdfunding.

To find your own lifestyle business you need to think about what you’re passionate about and what interests you. Don’t let all the negativity of friends, family, or society constrain your options here either. If you like riding bicycles all day, then find a business that allows you to do that! Seriously!

Ok, now you may think I’m joking or exaggerating when I said the “ride bikes all day” thing. But I’m not! One of my Crowdfund King students did just that! Ben loved bicycling everywhere and riding long distances. He thought of a gadget that would help people ride bikes safer. It was a hands free phone / speaker attachment that you can put in your bike. It allowed people to listen to music or directions from their phone without using headphones.

Guess what? I helped Ben raise about $25,000 in just 30 days to launch his own lifestyle business too! His company now sells the bike phone / speaker combo gadget on his website. He collects automated income while he tests to bike products, promotes the gadget by riding in bike events, and even does marketing promotion strategies where he rides across the US to get publicity for his brand.

That’s right! Ben makes money riding his bike all day, doing what he loves. Now you see how this new crowdfunding economy is not only helping people be financially free, but also giving us a lifestyle business to enjoy. Having the skills to crowdfund your own lifestyle business is the most important thing you can learn right now to capitalize big time on the crowdfunding economy.

Travel the World with the New Crowdfunding Economy – PART 2

Mike Lauchlan April 3, 2014 Blog Crowdfund King, Lifestyle, Michael Lauchlan, Travel

I always hire my own private boat to take me through all the islands. Adventure is the spice of life!

The only thing that’s missing from this picture is a beer, and my beard. One of my favorite places to travel to is Thailand. I’ve traveled through this country twice in the last year. It has amazing beaches, amazing food, attractions, parties, weather… amazing everything!

One of my favorite islands to visit is called Koh Phi Phi. Its actually quite famous as the nicest beach in the world. It was made popular by the movie “The Beach” starring Leanardo DiCaprio. It had the most pristine Crystal clear waters I’ve ever seen. And it was super warm and nice to swim and relax in all day.

Koh Phi Phi Island, made popular by the movie “The Beach” staring Leonardo Dicaprio. The small entrance to inner beach cove is there on the left, you can barely see it! Some of the best beaches in the entire world are inside!

Before I launched my business, traveling to exotic places like Thailand for months at a time seemed like a distant possibility. A dream. Or maybe i’d get to save up and take their “big” one week vacation there like I see my friends do on Facebook. Luckily I took a different path.

Checking on things and “working” form my jungle bungalow, a few steps from the warm clear beaches.

The new crowdfunding economy is making more young millionaires than the stock market right now. Its a mecca for first time entrepreneurs to finally strike it rich. And the best part is you can do this anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection…

I think humans are meant to live care free and travel. We aren’t meant to stay in one place, live the same day over and over, and worry about things. It causes stress, depression, and unhappiness. Its no wonder that half the US is on some kind of anti-depressant medication. People need to live!

Besides traveling, I think people also NEED (not want), they NEED to do something they are passionate about. You need to enjoy what you do. And I don’t mean work a cashier job and “tolerate” what you do. I mean actually have no difference between work and vacation. You don’t want to spend more than half of your life doing something that you hate, so that you can use the other half to “take a break”.

Swimming in the Kawasan Falls in the Philippines. These waterfalls are getting popular, I see them on Instagram all the time lately! Its a magical place.

You need to do what you love and have financial freedom at the same time. That’s the key to happiness. Its something I love about crowdfunding because its allowing people to launch the business they always wanted. There’s nothing more satisfying then traveling the world and doing what you love. For me its doing photo shoots in exotic locations for my crowdfunded business Waybu Eyewear. I also enjoy helping others succeed and launch their first crowdfunding projects too.
