Have you ever desired to live and work from anywhere in the world without confinement to a desk or cubicle? Would you give up your home, friends and family to explore everything on the face of this planet — right now? Would you sacrifice the comfort of your surroundings to embrace new ones several times per year? Would you be willing to break social conventions and your own “safe rules” to think outside the box and redesign your life?

Thanks to Timothy Ferriss and Lea Woodward, both are providing the world with the insight and tools to achieve such a life. Ferriss is doing so with his new book, “The 4-Hour Workweek” and Woodward with “X Marks The Spot: The Indispensable Guide To Living As a LIP And Working From Anywhere”.

Woodward’s focus is on living and working anywhere (“Location Independent Professional,” or LIP), while Ferriss’ is reducing your hours, outsourcing and enjoying your life to the fullest with an abundance of free time.

Both Woodward and Ferriss’ approach are both great, as they both enable you to live your life independent of any location while traveling the world NOW — not when you’re retired and older. Both challenge you to think differently and to throw out common concepts about permanent domiciles and the like.

So far, I’ve had the pleasure of reading Ferriss’ book and plan to order Woodward’s soon. In the meantime, I’ve become acclimated with Woodward’s approach via her lipliving.com site, which also features other LIPs (again, “Location Independent Professional”) sharing their LIP plans, challenges, goals and more.

I must admit that this lifestyle appeals to me greatly and is something I intend to pursue. I am also in a great position currently as I have no overheard (house, car, family or significant other) and am self-employed as an imagineer, social media producer (lifecaster, blogger and podcaster) and Internet marketer — all of which are ideal for living and working anywhere in the world. Thus, I am happy I chose the Internet as my full-time focus more than two years ago. It’s the best choice I’ve ever made, regardless of the pitfalls, frustrations, etc.

What about you? Are you ready to shatter the rule book and take control of your life? There’s nothing holding you back but yourself. It’s your life, passion and dream. Don’t place them on hold until you’re well into your 60s. Life is meant to be lived, and there’s no sense in waiting for “retirement.”
