When most people think of entrepreneurs, they think of someone who had a good idea and started a business with it. Johnny Ward is not this kind of entrepreneur. He had a calling and did everything he could to not work in a business. Throughout all his childhood, Johnny had an urge to travel the world. Jonny grew up in Northern Ireland then moved to England for college. Just 15 hours after his last exam of senior year he was on a one way flight to New York City. Once he was in America he moved around, worked for a bit, traveled, worked more, traveled more, and repeated. He moved to Australia to work and save and there his website onestep4ward.com was founded. He hated having to to everyday, so he moved to Zimbabwe and really picked up his blogging. He currently lives in Thailand (although he is rarely actually there) and has accumulated over 1.5 million from his blog website and a few other ventures of his.
Now, he says that he is free. Johnny believes that life should not be spent cooped up in an office, saving for retirement, when you’re too old to enjoy it. He encourages everyone to do as he does and travel and share it with the world. He says the best way to work is to play. He shares his life and how wonderful it has been, urging everyone to follow his in adventure, saying that they can even make money like he did. His website is the perfect platform to use to do so. It has become very popular and has changed the way that people travel.
i think that this is a really cool life style to lead. i had never understood how people were able to live and travel with out a stead source of income so how he acchomplished this is cool.
I really love this story because I too enjoy traveling. Johnny Ward was willing to take a risk while doing something he loves. This is very inspiring and gives people hope to pursue their passion.
