To become international you must be independently wealthy or you must have a source of income which does not restrict you to one geographic area.
Since most of us are not independently wealthy that leaves one option: Start a location independent business that allows us to live with the freedom we want.
What kind of location independent businesses are there?
There are many but they all have one thing in common: They are internet based.
The absolute beauty of the internet is that anyone with half a brain can learn to make money online. Internet work does not merely depend on skills learned in school or in apprenticeships. Anything you want to learn about online business can be learned online. Internet work does not require a degree from a top-tier school, it does not require introductions from higher-ups, it does not require you be born and bred into wealth - the only thing it requires is your willingness to learn. After your initial learning stage you must take action. You must continually take action, refine, build and collect.
If you are willing to do these things, and do them daily, you will be rewarded for your efforts.
The barrier to entry into online business is the lowest of any business in the world. One could get started spending zero dollars if one were so restricted. A domain can be purchased from $2-$10, hosting can be had for the same monthly price. There are no costly start-up fees, everything you want to learn can be found online, and your online business can provide you with substantial monetary returns and even more importantly: FREEDOM AND TIME.
Money is spent online. Not dollars and cents, but billions of dollars per year spent online. That number is only increasing, the number is not going down.
The internet is today’s Gold rush. A pick-ax can be purchased quite cheaply. To get your little piece if gold all you have to do is start digging and the sooner you start digging the better.

Not to be a pessimist, but what do you have to say about this:
http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2009/04/21/8-reasons-why-you-wont-make-money-from-your-blog/
I was intrigued by your post about $7 on 7. However, articles such as this dampen my spirits, in addition to my discussions with blogger friends of mine who say you only make about $1-4 on every 1000 visits to your blog from affiliate marketing. Doesn’t seem like an easy way to make $100 per day.
I know very little about blogging. And, because i understand that many people are making a mint online, of course i would like to get in on it. But, i don’t personally know too many people who are making a bundle strictly from blogging.
That said, I make over 90 US dollars per hour at what i do offline, so I figure I am already winning. Still, extra income never hurt anyone. I am skeptical but trying to remain optimistic.
Peter,
Have you ever read that woman’s blog? She is certifiably insane. It’s a laugh riot. I did not read that article, but no, you won’t make much money from blogging and relying SOLELY on a blog for income is a surefire way to be broke.
As an illustration, just this month I made more money off a silly little new website with 5 only articles written by an Indian with poor writing skills than I made the entire first year on BOLD & DETERMINED.
If your goal is to make money, blogging is one of the worst strategies.
Peter,
I see your article and I raise you http://www.problogger.net/archives/2011/05/18/how-to-quit-your-job-move-to-paradise-and-get-paid-to-change-the-world/
Every BOLD & DETERMINED reader should read this article ^
Great read!
Needed to read that, thanks.
I’ll be checking out the 7 on 7 stuff. I do not have any expectations…..I just thoroughly hate my job and want out,lol. I am taking a marketing program along side 6 days a week of shift work and am burnt to a crisp. There seems to be no escape route for me at the moment and if this offers something cool…if not…cool.
Very impressive mr.victor!
Thanks for posting this, Victor.
