No matter how much you know or don’t know about Bitcoin, you really cannot avoid the subject.

Bitcoin is one of the most talked about subjects these days and for a very good reason …

it’s giving us all the means to take back control of our money.

Isn’t it about time we rise up and say

ENOUGH! ????

What is Bitcoin?

It’s digital crypto currency that is transferred peer-to-peer …

*without any government regulatory interference and restrictions

*without outrageous transactions fees

*without limitations on who you can send money to or how much, and

*without waiting 3-5 business days for a transfer of money.

In addition to all of those huge sighs of relief I just listed, your investment can grow far beyond the minimal, ridiculous interest rates of savings accounts, money market accounts or IRAs.

We began investing in Bitcoin a few months ago. At the time, one Bitcoin was worth $700. In just four months, that value has increased to $1240 (as of this writing.) No savings account or IRA gives you that level of growth from your investment.

Have I got your attention now?

What Companies and Businesses Accept Bitcoin?

You might be thinking that all of this sounds fantastic, but wondering how you will be able to use your Bitcoins for your every day living needs and pleasures.

The list continues to grow as Bitcoin becomes the most simple and logical way to exchange payment for products or services.

Here’s just a snippet of the companies and businesses that accept Bitcoin:

Amazon, Apple’s App Store, 1-800-Flowers, CVS, Expedia, Dish Network, Dell, Fiverr, Home Depot, Target, Microsoft, Overstock, PayPal, Payza, Ebay, Sears, Shopify, Subway, Victoria’s Secret, Whole Foods, WordPress, Zappos, Simple Freedom, and of course The Naked Hippies Way … to name a few.

What Do The “Experts” Say About Bitcoin?

I don’t know about you, but when Bill Gates and Richard Branson give their opinion, I listen.

How Can I Get Started With Bitcoin?

You can do what we did several months ago … do the research and learn what you need to do on your own.

It’s doable, but it is definitely a time consuming self-education path.

Or, you can keep reading to see how the Naked Hippies are using Bitcoin on a team crowd funding platform where you not only get all set up with Bitcoin, but you can start your own team crowd funding as an income stream for whatever project or purpose you desire.

The potential is enough to take a serious look at CryptoFundraiser:

$641,362.50 (or more!)

It’s a simple and familiar process …

and it creates momentum and fun as you get your first three, then begin to help those three get their three, and on and on.

Quit Your Job and Travel

On August 5, 2016January 24, 2017 By Trisha BarnesIn Travel4 Comments

Quit your job and travel? Really?

Most people think the odds are against them when they hear “quit your job and travel.”

But it’s the #1 response people give when asked “what would you love to do more than anything?” No. 1 is travel and the No. 2 response is quit my job.

The #1 reason they give for NOT doing either is money.

You’re about to meet some people who will inspire you and show you that it doesn’t take a lot of money to travel.

And, you’re going to learn that there are countless ways to travel cheaply and even make travel your business.

Meet the dreamers and doers:

First off, meet Nomadic Matt who will prove to you it’s possible to travel without a lot of money.

In 2006, he set off on a year long adventure around the world that turned into eighteen months. When he returned home, he realized he couldn’t go back to the 9-7 and was back on the road within three months.

Matt has turned his love for traveling into a thriving business. He has become a world renown blogging expert on traveling on a budget and is a featured writer for many top publications.

His blog is a treasure chest of articles and his books that will give you endless resources and ideas for traveling the world cheaper than you ever dreamed possible – plus he teaches how to build an income as a travel blogger.

Nomadic-Matt_and_the_Naked-Hippies — What fun we had meeting Matt in Portland last summer.

His #1 book is “How to Travel the World on $50 a Day: Travel Cheaper, Longer, Smarter” He has written city guides available for budget traveling in New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Bangkok and Stockholm.

It all started with Matt’s desire to travel.

QUIT YOUR JOB AND TRAVEL … life’s too short to wait.

It was the title of Allison Vesterfelt’s first book that grabbed my attention and interest …

“Packing Light: Thoughts on Living Life with Less Baggage.”

Allison dreamed of being a writer and finally made the leap by quitting her full time job, selling nearly everything she owned and taking off on a year long journey across the country in her Subaru Outback.

Her story of the journey and struggle to get her book published will inspire you, because of the insights she gained as she moved past obstacles. She now is an author of two additional books “The Chase”, and “ Writing to Find Yourself: Becoming More Authentic Through the Art of Writing” and is helping aspiring writers become published authors.

Subscribe to her list to receive her inspiring messages of creating your own awesome life.

It all started with a year long roadtrip for Allison.

It all starts with the dream to quit your job and travel.

Nadine Pisani had a dream to quit her job and move to Costa Rica. In her book “Happier Than a Billionaire: Quitting My Job, Moving to Costa Rica, and Living the Zero Hour Work Week” she share’s how she and her husband risked it all for the dream of living the life they desired.

Her wit and humor will have you laughing as she shares how they found reliable utilities are not that reliable, quirky neighbors are unavoidable, and tackling red tape takes the strength of a linebacker

She has since written two additional books to help you even more if your dream is to move to Costa Rica. “Happier Than a Billionaire: The Sequel” is their story of moving to the beach to build their dream home and discovering that not all dreams come in the form of brick and mortar. Some appear after taking a chance when all odds are against you.

The third book “Happier Than A Billionaire: The Escape Manual” is your how-to manual, your guide for moving to, living in or traveling through Costa Rica.

Check out her blog.

It all started with a Nadine’s desire to quit her job and live in a tropical paradise.

Quit your job and travel … on the cheap!

We learned about Vanabode by Jason Odom long before we were living in our pickup camper. Is it any wonder that his message intrigued us when we were still dreaming of living on a never-ending roadtrip:

I will show every single person how to get out of their current situation and on to the road trip of a lifetime by using the strategies and equipment my wife and I have used for 21+ years.

If you want to be successful and have fun every single day of your life let me spoon-feed you our solid, proven, well-explained plan. I cover everything you need to have a great life on $20 a day; including delicious food, lodging, transportation, a hot bath, a good night’s sleep in your own clean bed, and days and nights filled with great fun, romance, and new experiences.

Wikipedia’s definition of a “disruptive technology” or “disruptive innovation” describes Vanabode precisely; innovations that improve a product or service in ways that the market does not expect, typically by being lower priced or making something for everyone that was previously only available to the rich.

We immediately bought the book “Vanabode happily camp, travel and live forever on $20 a day.”

This book is as wondrous as the Sears Catalog used to be for my grandparents! We devoured it, began to see how traveling was possible without having a huge bank account first. And there are times we still consider a white Chevy van. (Get the book to find out why.)

For Jason, it started with a dream to live and travel cheaply.

Miracles happened to us … it can happen to you, too, when you quit your job and travel.

Finally, meet the Naked Hippies! That’s us! Since November 2013 we have been traveling the open road on a never-ending roadtrip. It’s our dream come true.

Did we have a huge savings when we started out? No.
Did we have a top of the line RV when we left Missouri? No.
Did we have an online business that we could do from anywhere we parked our camper. YES!

We had the dream, the desire and the belief that everything would be provided as needed. And it has been.

12071894_10208713955626951_1220778536_n I just published my first book, written to tell our story… you can read how we got rid of everything and lived in a tent one summer … how our pickup camper literally dropped in our laps… of our adventures and fun as our dream became real and we hit the road.

And most of all, just like the others mentioned above, you’ll be inspired to go for your dream … NOW! Pick up your copy of “RV LIVING The Naked Hippies Way: Live YOUR Dreams, Don’t Wait for “Someday”

I know you’re thinking … are they really naked? You’ll have to read the book!

For the Naked Hippies, it started with a dream to live, travel and work on the never-ending roadtrip.

Every single person featured in this blog post started with a dream. A dream to travel, a dream to quit their job, a dream to write, to inspire, to show others how it can be done.

Yes, you can quit your job and travel.
If you could take off and go anywhere right now, where would you go?
See you on the road!

Losing Weight the Naked Hippies Way … Remove Clothes

On August 20, 2015June 5, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Personal Growth, Vanabode Dream2 Comments

Losing weight the Naked Hippies way?

Yes, it requires you to remove your clothes, and there are some who will think of running around stark naked! While, there’s great freedom in being a naturist, it’s not the subject here. (we’ll get to that in another blog post!)

We’ve been carrying around excess weight for nearly two years.

Lugging around all of this: (it’s shocking, really!)

Guess what happened as soon as I finished clearing out the excess clothes?

I tackled books, papers, junk drawers, kitchen utensils and pots, and all that bathroom/personal stuff that had accumulated.

The result? Losing weight! A TON OF IT! Two huge trash bags of clothes removed to donate; two huge, HEAVY trash bags of junk to throw away; dozens of books to take to the library, a table full of items to sell or donate; a huge box of papers to burn …

And it feels so goooooooood! There is a lightness to the camper now. Our clothes can breathe. Not every drawer and cabinet is stuffed to the brim.

Now we’re wondering how our gas mileage will improve!

This was phase one as we prepare to reduce and simplify our life to live and travel in our Vanabode home. There will be MORE downsizing when the official moving day arrives.

For now, we’re good.

That was how to lose weight the Naked Hippies Way!

This downsizing experience has served two purposes …

First, Losing weight! The physical result of eliminating unnecessary and unneeded items from our living space feels so freeing.

Second, reflecting and realizing how much “junk” we carry around in our minds that weighs us down and keeps us from living the best life possible.

This is losing weight the personal growth way:

We carry around fear, anger, jealousy, lack, low self-worth, bitterness, doubt and worry.

It’s a huge burden that if not removed, will drag you down to the depths of a hellish life, a life where you just exist, you just get by, go through the motions … survive.

When you take time to reflect on the limiting beliefs you have been carrying all your life, you’ll say exactly what I said when I viewed the massive amount of clothes piled in our camper …

“Who NEEDS this?”

You definitely don’t need the negative, limiting beliefs in your life.

They have been taking up space in your thoughts for too long. It’s time to downsize … to clear out the junk drawers of your mind.

Make space for joy and happiness and expectancy and hope and creation.

How?

By going within … through meditation, reflection, getting still. By listening, seeing and feeling your connection to The One, God, the Universe, the great I AM – whatever name you give to your higher power.

Meditation is something Bruce and I take time for every day. No matter what. It is making a huge difference in our life, in what we are seeing manifested.

It is the ONLY way to find yourself, your true self, your higher self, your Divine self. Go within in order to soar without.

There are many roads that lead you to your inner self. Find the one that works for you. The only “mistake” you can make is in not taking the time to meditate.

No matter what road you take, the journey will be remarkable. It’s the focus of our morning mindset call “Journey to Magnificence” where we read and study and discuss personal growth books and ideas.

The call is open to anyone seeking guidance and understanding and knowledge about the Law of Attraction, about manifesting your desires, about being and doing and having all that you dream of.

Always remember this, expressed so beautifully from “Winnie the Pooh”

-A.A. Milne

You are MAGNIFICENT!

Lingering in a Soaking Bathtub Can Kill You

Who doesn’t love lingering in a soaking bathtub?

It feels so damn good … it relaxes you and relieves stress. You have escaped from the frenzy and you love the feeling.

Did you realize that lingering in that soaking bathtub can kill you?

Forget coming back for the soaking bathtub for a while. It will be there when you need it, but right now – you need to be doing the work, talking to people, making connections, closing the sales.

Building your business requires your participation as the CEO … full out … get it going action.

It’s not easy, it’s worth it.

You’re going to get dirty, you’re going to fall down and scrape your hands and knees, you’re going to sweat like crazy …

Not easy, but oh so worth it.

So worth it to fight for your freedom … fight the daily battles of procrastination, fear, doubt, worry.

So worth it to try something that stretches you.

So worth it to learn from something that didn’t work.

So worth it to see what you’re really made of.

You business won’t grow on its own. That comes later after you’ve been to the battlefront, trained and fought for the victory.

soaking-bathtub-naked-hippies-roadtrip — Dirty-up time!

Don’t come back to the bath until you are covered head to toe in mud … drenched in sweat … smelling like a pig … hands and knees scraped from crawling when you were knocked down …

because that’s who never dies in the bath … the ones who get up and get out there … they don’t need a pat on the back to keep them going … the ones who aren’t afraid of lunging at life … the ones who dare to say “watch me” when someone says they are foolish, crazy, dumb … the ones who leap up when someone pulls the plug on them …

the ones who don’t have time to bathe because there’s money to be made … people to talk to … lives to change.

Get out of the soaking bathtub!

Living in Instant Gratification Mode

On March 31, 2015June 6, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Coaching, Personal Growth, Work From AnywhereLeave a comment

We are living in instant gratification mode.

We want everything NOW. In fact, we EXPECT it.

Our culture has become one of instant gratification, instant reward.

For example …

We go through a fast-food drive thru and get irritated if we have to pull forward and wait a few minutes for our food.

Our internet doesn’t load pages instantly and we get start gritting our teeth.

Our viewing habits on the internet reveal the impatience that has developed by the instant gratification culture.

A recent study of 6.7 million internet users revealed that viewers became impatient after waiting for 2 seconds. After five seconds, 25% of the viewers clicked off. At ten seconds, 50% were gone.

Retailers now offer same-day, overnight or two-day delivery services.

Our Smartphone apps eliminate the wait for a cab, a date, or a table at a restaurant.

Streaming movies and TV shows has become the norm. Netflix has 33 million customers who stream videos compared to 8 million who order the DVDs by mail.

Visitors at Disney World and other amusement parks pay for a “fast” pass so they don’t have to wait in line.

It’s apparent – we are gravitation toward being more focused on quick fun and instant results than on reading books or magazines.

That echoes the Pew study where researchers found the rapid pace of technology can lead to more nimble thinking, but that “trends are leading to a future in which most people are shallow consumers of information.”

And that’s just the beginning of this discussion …

Instant gratification prevails in the internet marketing industry, too. It constantly shows up when people join a business opportunity and expect to receive income immediately, and become angry and bitter when it doesn’t happen for them. (Of course, hype and spammed ads play a huge role in this – ads which promise big money in 30 days.)

And then, there’s the personal development journey of discovery and growth that many entrepreneurs value and study; but even in this quest, people desire results NOW.

We read books like Think and Grow Rich, the Master Key System, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and we “get it” – we understand what is being taught – but the changes we desire don’t just miraculously happen overnight.

Charles Haanel writes in Chapter 23 of the Master Key System:

Perfection in this is not acquired in six days,
nor in six weeks, nor in six months. It is the
labor of life.

A favorite saying rings true, “The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.”

It is best to remember this advice as you are seeking to grow personally and financially:

To go fast, go slow. To go slow, go fast.

We will always be learning more about ourselves, our power, our ability to create and manifest our desires. Sometimes, results will be instant; however, most of the time it will seem like it’s taking
F O R E V E R.

When the wait seems so long, problems arise. Doubt starts to seep in and take over your thoughts and emotions.

Maybe I’m not cut out for this,

Maybe I’m not smart enough, techy enough,

Maybe I’m too old

Maybe I should give up

These doubts sneak up on you because you start looking around and see other people’s results, and it seems like they are just breezing through, having all kinds of success.

Your thoughts begin to drift away from your ability for creating more, taking inspired action, being open to the people and things that are put in your path to help you achieve all that you desire.

Doubt sneaks in until you are thinking more about what you aren’t accomplishing rather than what you are.

And, as the Law of Attraction teaches – what you think about comes about.

Another issue that often develops on the journey of personal development is separating the study and practice from all that you do.

If personal development is just a thing you do in your spare time, as opposed to a way of life, well, the results will be temporary and unfulfilling.

If I asked most people, “What do you do for personal development?” I know the answers I would hear: I read, study, meditate, visualize, repeat affirmations, etc.

If you view personal development as a tool to pick up and master in order to get results, you are missing the secret.

Personal development is not a tool, it is a way of being.

But, if you totally immerse in personal development – in thinking, acting, believing, doing all that you have learned and have yet to learn; if it has become your normal operating mode – where you don’t have to think about it – you just live it 24/7, you will create the life and results that you desire.

August Turak author of Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks: One CEO’s Quest for Meaning and Authenticity writes

“Whether you call it personal development, personal growth, self-actualization, self-transcendence, or spirituality does not matter. What matters is realizing that the reason you were born is to become the best human being you can possibly be. Personal development is not a tool for reaching a bigger goal. Becoming a complete human being is already the biggest and most noble goal you can aspire to.”

Really, it just goes back to familiar words: “seek ye first … and all these things will be added unto you.”

It is through aligning your thoughts and beliefs with Universe – God – Source – Spirit that is the goal. Making the connection – creating the harmony between your desires and beliefs.

Seek the connection, the alignment first in every single thing you do.

Ask yourself as you go through your day making decisions, marketing your business:

Will this help me become a better person?
Does this serve the highest good?
Am I growing?
Am I moving forward?
Am I becoming more aligned?

Of course, it’s hard to take your mind of the money because as Charles Haanel writes in The Master Key System “money weaves itself into the entire fabric of our very existence.”

It’s why we go to work at the 8-5. It’s why we decide to start our own business. Money is woven into our existence.

But our success is not measured in a dollar amount. That’s what the world wants us to believe and we get caught up in that. We ooh and aah over income levels.

Success is not measured in dollar amounts.

The law of success is service.

We get what we give.

To get more get value, you must give more give value. It’s the Golden Rule, Karma, the Law of Compensation.

For this reason we should consider it a great privilege to be able to give.

Not only of our money, but of our time, our joy and happiness, our patience and understanding, our love and encouragement. You have much to give to others.

When we avail ourselves as servants to others, we become a conduit for more, for the flow, for the alignment with Universal Power.

When we look at the outside and see what others are achieving and start comparing, we start doubting and the flow is stopped.

Les Brown speaks on giving in this powerful speech:

See yourself as an opening for the Universe to work through to move through to make a difference in life. –Les Brown

You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
There are those who give little of the much which they have–and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.

And there are those who have little and give it all.

These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty.

-Kahib Gibran

Serving is the way of being and
giving is the means of serving.

Living in instant gratification mode can be rewarding if you focus solely on giving to others. The instant gratification will be a feeling of joy and love … and you absolutely can’t beat that feeling.

Here’s to your life of serving others.
