Episode 057-The Biggest Misconception to Master the Business Travel Life
Manage episode 384881787 series 2652641
Welcome to the ERW podcast, I’m your host, BpB, fellow road warrior, husband of one, father of five, and wearing proudly a winter tan while strategically traveling to warm places during a Chicago home winter.
I even coined a phrase I use often called the Travel Triangle:
Airport
Board Room
Hotel Room
Wash - Rinse - Repeat.
Travel Resource
Not Forgotten Journal
Book
What were the two very important parts of my life that believing the misconception that WORK was the only thing that mattered on a business trip?
More trips.
More presentations.
More meetings.
More emails.
More calls.
But then when I turned 40, things internally were going wrong.
I was getting very strange symptoms:
- Heart racing
- Flush face
- Eyes glazed over
- Migraines
- Diaherria
- Inability to absorb content
- Sleeping and never feeling any effects of the rest
How’s that for a vulnerability bomb?
What resulted was the foundation of the Three Focus Areas of Elite Road Warrior:
Work
Health
Home Life
Remember, the biggest misconception to master the business travel life was on the 1st focus area: WORK.
Is it important? Absolutely. In fact it’s Energy Habit #4: PERFORM. It’s why we’re ON the road.
But nobody can take care of your health except you.
Will the business world end if you took 20-30 minutes to go for a walk or run or workout in the hotel fitness center or hotel room?
Hence energy habit one: MOVE.
Prioritize the 2nd Focus Area of HEALTH.
Here’s the point:Your business world will change entirely if you stopped believing the biggest misconception to master the business travel life that it only has one focus area: WORK.
All six of the energy habits are encompassed within the three focus areas:
Work - Energy habit 4: Perform / Energy Habit 5: Develop
Health - Physical Energy Habits - Energy Habit 1: Move / Energy Habit 2: Fuel / Energy Habit 3: Rest
Home Life - Energy Habit 6: Connect
