Every successful individual goes through a phase of endless grind and struggle, and Ian Northmark knows that very well. From a workaholic stuck at the desk and focused solely on getting that promotion and bonus, he shares all ways traveling can help one grow as a person, as it did him.
A confessed overachiever in his 20s, Ian Northmark believes that changing yourself begins with changing your environment. So, after a decade of keeping the hustle in a global fortune 100 company, he decided to do his first world tour, starting with Tulum, Mexico.
Stepping out of the comfort zone, making new memories, and meeting new people can stimulate inner growth. Ian shares that traveling can help you gain a lot of life experiences, ideas, and opportunities that could propel your success. Traveling is a remarkable teacher.
The triangle of life, Ian said, requires balance. The second thing that traveling can do is teach you how to enjoy your success. After working 80 hours per week and endless grinding, he started to enjoy the fruits of his achievements and it’s much more pleasurable when you know what you sacrificed to get the luxuries you have.
Thirdly, traveling made Ian realize that there is more to life than money. Stuck in a desk all day, there is only a tiny window for soaking in on whatever is around you. Seeing the world teaches you how to be more present.
Lastly, traveling, according to Ian, also cultivates a growth mindset. Gaining a deeper understanding of different ways of life, culture, and values can help improve your relationship skills.
Armed with the lessons and ideas from his worldwide travels, Ian offers one-of-a-kind expertise as an entrepreneur and a top financial advisor in his Beverly Hills company, Northmark Wealth.
If you feel like your life is stuck and not moving forward, Ian Northmark encourages you to travel to somewhere new and it will change your life, an idea well worth considering.
