The other day I did something radical.

I disconnected my TV from the wall socket. The cable TV wall socket that is.

I’ve been kind of “anti-TV” for some time. I never watch much of it. Mostly I just use my TV screen to watch stuff I’ve downloaded from the net.

Lifestyle design. Everyone’s at it – or so it seems. Live the rockstar lifestyle. Become a digital nomad. Find the way to location independence. Learn the secrets of geo-arbitrage.  The lifestyle design thing seems to have taken off in recent years. Was it Tim Ferriss who popularized the term? I don’t know for sure, but [...]

If you’re planning a trip abroad, there’s one customer-friendly and clued-up travel insurance provider that’s well worth taking a look at.
It’s called World Nomads and it operates almost entirely online.

The other day I went to a web entrepreneur’s event held in the centre of Brussels called BetaGroup Belgium. BetaGroup Belgium was founded in 2008 by entrepreneurs Jean Derély & Candide Kemmler as a small group of friends who met initially on a casual basis. It’s now since grown in just three years to a [...]

I find bucket lists a bit kind of cliched. They’re sort of  like something every “lifestyle design” blogger seems to have on their site. I feel bucket lists can all too easily become a “been there, done that, got the t-shirt” kind of exercise. Because of this I was a bit hesitant to write up [...]

Sites that are basically just a time suck or a complete waste of time and which do nothing to bring you forward. Like forums for example.

BreakingOut.NET has just adopted a charity

I decided that it’s time I did more than just building my own business and media activities.

Maybe like many people, I’ve tended to regard charity as something I just do “now and then” or when cajoled into it by others.

But from now on I want to use my online presence and my own business success to also help less fortunate people. I think business should be about more than just building your own wealth and success. Business should have a social dimension as well.

So I’ve decided to actively promote a charity here on BreakingOut.NET.
