I love travel. And I love travel even more when it can help me to legally reduce my tax bill. Almost any trip can be made into a completely legal, tax deductible business expense.

Not only that, but I’ve seen time and time again that travel really can make money. Internet marketers would have us believe that everything is done online these days. It’s not true. Face to face meetings are still really valuable. Looking your business partner in the eye, or going out partying together, is one of the best forms of due diligence there is.

Travel is also a great way to meet new people, or to improve existing relationships. I’m talking, of course, about girls. An exotic, mysterious James Bond style foreigner gets the interest and attention of girls anywhere in the world much more easily than a boring, wage slave taxpayer type local loser.

Working just a few hours a day on your trip, you will earn the same amount as at home – and if you are a taxpayer you will be deducting expenses for the entire trip on your tax return. Anyway, tycoons are always working – learning what is different, seeing how things work in different countries, and developing new business ideas. All tycoons have far more good ideas than time to implement them.
You too can do this! Here are five ways to turn the long trip you’ve been dreaming about for ages into tax-deductible – and profitable! – business travel.

Here are four ideas to get you started on money making, tax deductible travel.

1. Seminars. I’m not talking about huge events that need months of planning. Just by announcing your itinerary to your existing small list, you can set up ad hoc seminars  along the way. Besides appearing at events sponsored by an stablished organization, you can line up co-sponsors who know one or more of the areas you’ll be traveling to and who will take charge of your leg-work in exchange for a percentage of the profits.

2. Client meetings. People you have met and done business with over the internet will be thrilled at the opportunity to meet up in person whenever you will be passing through their area. Some of these meetings turn into enjoyable social occasions, while others materialize as paid consultations. You need very little lead time for this. It’s more a matter of “hey, I’ll be in your town next week, would you like to meet for a beer?”

3. Research. Have you always wanted to find out how businesses deal with the financial crisis differently in different parts of the world? If you want to make money from the financial crisis, this is essential intelligence. If you want to justify this as a business expense, but you didn’t have the chance to meet any clients, just write up an article when you get back about what you learned, and publish it on ezinearticles.com or some similar site. That way it becomes a legitimate research and promotional expense

4. Focus groups. Convene small groups to feel out the market for possible new joint ventures with your business. These also serve as a means to grow your business network very quickly. You really only need one business contact in each city where you are planning to set up focus groups. Offer a free lunch or dinner for participants and something more for your contact, and ask him or her to round up colleagues for an interesting informal meeting about real estate investment (or insert your type of business here – just be sure to focus on what’s in it for the participants, not what’s in it for you…). It’s worth making clear that this is a networking meeting for exchange of ideas, and that it’s intended to be fun. Specify that the meeting will include no selling. Otherwise people may get the idea that it’s some network marketing or party plan scam.

REAL ESTATE
There’s nothing fancy about it. You buy a building, upgrade it and take a profit.

The problem is no liquidity. Low interest rates are a beautiful thing, but no one can buy.

What determines the price of real estate? Location, location, location.

I love real estate, it is predictable. It will not run away like the banks or shares.

It’s really the time to buy.

Now is the best time to buy real estate, and the banks cannot finance.

It is the best time ever to have money to invest in real estate.
MONEY
Why make money in the first place?

Most things don’t pay off, you put money in the bank and the rates are so low inflation eats it up.

Money is just paper printed by the government.

We don’t need military, at the end of the day, the bankers can cause the world to collapse.

It is a privilege to live during the worst financial crisis ever.

You should be proud to see and experience the financial crisis first hand, other generations will never get to see this.

The general rule is if you don’t have to sell real estate you shouldn’t. I think that is conservative, if you can get the price you want, sell.

BANKRUPTCY
So many people are bankrupt, it is a fascinating thing.

STOCK MARKET
Stock market is a piece of shit, you may as well go to vegas.

AMERICA
America has the most beautiful nature in the world.

America should have seen what was coming, too many imports, not enough export.

I don’t believe American currency will fail, America is a great nation, that’s all there is to it.

The American Dream is changing to a better dream.

PHILOSOPHY
If you really want to achieve your goals, having a normal job will probably not help you realize them.

Happiness is when your reality matches your expectations. If they are not in sync, you will be confused.

Reality is flexible, it is big. You  can change your reality if you expect to.

You have to climb the ladder. Do your best on every step. Accept every step on your way to the top. No one starts at the top.

People born poor are fortunate. They must face themselves to their goals, and can be proud of every step they make towards the top.

If you want something you have to work to get it, not sit around on the couch.

It is hard work to make money, that’s why it is important to do what you love. Then making money is easy.

‘What is your definition of sanity?”
‘As long as you’re not a direct threat to yourself.’

It’s nice to be on the top, it gives a lot of feeling.

Gotta dance man. Dancing makes your life much better.

The day I cannot afford to drive a Mercedes is the day I will kill myself. I will jump in front of an S-Class on the freeway.

“I’m going to Andorra to go skiing.”
“Sounds like a good life”
“It is”

Why complicate the basic’s of life? People complicate the basic’s so no one understands what’s going on.

I like to keep it simple, no bullshit strategy.

The amount of movies you watch is very important and if you think you are James Biond or not.

I only believe in cash and teenies.

The basics are important. Without those your fucked.

If you never got love, you can never give love, it’s impossible.

You gotta do what your good at, that’s what’s important.

There is something seriously amazing about the world right now

‘back to basic’s with a gold card’

Being rich is not about money, it’s about what you enjoy and have. That’s it.

People should go to the garden for good food, to enjoy each other and good sex.

I see the world differently. I see every day as an opportunity to do something.

It’s complex to rule the world, it’s not easy.

Every time I’ve lost something the next thing was better. It’s just like that.

Today people only see pleasure in buying, for what? Poor way of seeing life.

The best thing to do now is to go some where where it is cheap to live in the sun and go to the beach, until the banks decide to loan money again.

I have a no bullshit strategy, I only talk about what I know about.
