For Digital Nomads, Hybrid Employees, and Remote Workers...

The old 9-to-5, five-day-a-week office is rapidly being replaced by a Hybrid, Remote, and Nomadic workspace and lifestyle.
Many of you – independent contractors and freelancers – are actually businesses, with all the operational components and needs of a regular business.

Also, Hybrid and Remote employees can potentially become part-time independents by investing your “unsupervised time” in developing and running your own side business.

That’s why this book is for you, and all small business owners, too.

This is not another “travel hack” book or just stories of how other Digital Nomads live. This book breaks down and gives you real tools to run your business. Learn from an expert (check out the author’s bio) the business knowledge and processes to drive your company (YOU) in the direction you want it to go.

What makes this new scenario exciting, and sometimes challenging, is that you get to play many diverse roles that sometimes clash with each other. And that can make for interesting conversations with yourself.

This book breaks it down and gives you real but simple tools to run the business called YOU. The Table of Contents will give you a good idea of the five key areas that we will focus on:
  • Marketing: How I can solve your problem.
  • What makes me different (Unique Selling Proposition -USP).
  • Sales: Proposals. Buy now. Hire me!
  • Management in order to Deliver: Service or product. Do it yourself or farm it out. Virtual team management.
  • Finance: Budgeting. Set pricing. Bookkeeping. Bill collection. Taxes and retirement funds.
  • Time Management (BONUS Chapter)

Learn by actually doing the homework. (Yes, Homework!) There will be Homework assignments spread out through the chapters. If you want to get some value out of this book, then just read it. But if you want great value out of this book, also do the Homework assignments because, nothing beats experience and process.

Think about it. As a Digital Nomad, you still have to do most of the usual business operational responsibilities to be successful: You have to get your job/project, get your next job/project, and plan your working future. To do this, you need to wear several hats: Sales, Marketing, Finance, Management, etc.

Whatever type of Digital Nomad you are (or become), this book is for you. If you are a Hybrid or Remote employee taking on extra money-making projects in a business other than what you do for your employer, this book is for you. If you have completely immersed yourself in the freelance world, this book is for you. And if you’re not a Digital Nomad now, but a Digital Nomad wannabe, with some planning, you can definitely do this, because this book is for you.

Regardless of how and why, you are in the business of YOU, you are most likely now just working in your different businesses (perhaps without even realizing it) rather than spending some time working on your business (goals and operations). This book will give you general business knowledge and processes to drive your company (YOU) in the direction you want it to go instead of having it dictate the direction to you.

Getting Beyond the Conflict. Its them. Not us.

Mitchell Bard’s recent article ( War-gaming ‘hasbara’ December 8 JNS) puts forth a very interesting concept: Treat government Hasbara (public diplomacy) as one more weapon in the military arsenal. Therefore, make the messaging part of the military’s planning and execution to be prepared before (similar to air force bombardment softening the ground for a ground invasion) and during the events. However, Israel seems to always be in the middle of some event. His idea is very interesting, needed, and should be explored. It adds to Melanie Phillips’ insightful article “ Why Israel needs a strategy to shape the narrative ” (JNS November 26, 2021) where she correctly proclaims “it is absolutely astounding that Israel still has no centralized communications strategy. Instead, different agencies feud with each other to put out largely uncoordinated responses to the propaganda onslaught that has hijacked language and all but rewritten the Jews out of their own historic story.” Unfortunat...

Yishuv ≠ Settlement. Israelis ≠ Settlers.

Appeared in the Jerusalem Post , August 15, 2023 under the headline: There is no such thing as an Israeli ‘settler’ in the West Bank   According to the Cambridge dictionary a settler is a person who arrives, especially from another country, to a new place in order to live there and use the land. A settlement, according to vocabulary.com, is a colony or any small community of people . However, these definitions take on negative connotations when it pertains to Israel and Israelis. Even Israeli media has headlines such as “Settlers arrested after deadly clash in Palestinian village.” Various Biblical texts refer to Israel as a “land flowing with milk and honey.” This description is in stark contrast to Mark Twain’s observations in 1867 that Israel (then called Palestine) was a desolate and barren country in both people and vegetation. It was only after the start of the aliyah movement in the late 1800’s, when many Jew...

Palestine By Any Other Name Is Still Israel

What’s in a name? An often-asked question whose answer is complicated. Why does the media call them Arab towns but Israeli settlements ? Why did Greece protest when a new country, located to their north, named itself Macedonia, and then forced by the outcry to rename itself North Macedonia? Why does my mother insist I am David and not Dave? The simple answer: Words have meaning. There is history and nuance behind words and names. So here is a little light history. The ancient dates below are approximate. Timeline through history. When Abraham, the first monotheist and Jew, answered G-d’s call it was the beginning of Judaism; 2075 BCE. After 410 years of slavery in Egypt, traveling through the desert for 40 years and receiving the 10 Commandments, the Jewish people (aka The Children of Israel), settled in the Promised Land (Israel) around 1250 BCE and established their kingdoms. When Constantine proclaimed the Edict of Milan in 313 CE, considered by many to be the beginn...
