Video: My Virtual Business Lifestyle Sunrise in Cebu, Philippines
Location: Home Office – Reading & Viewing Time: 2mins
I wanted to publish this quick post to share what I woke up to yesterday – and in fact what I wake up to most days when I’m home and not traveling. This is the sunrise from the balcony that leads off the bedroom at my house in Cebu, Philippines. In the short video below you’ll hear me say that this is what the Virtual Business Lifestyle (VBL) has provided me.
I want to obviously point out that I wasn’t talking about the sunrise, the house, the balcony or any one particular thing when I said this. Instead, I was trying to get across that the VBL gives me the chance to get up, take my time, enjoy the goodness that the earth has to offer (instead of focusing on all the horrible things that happen around the world each day) and look forward to having breakfast with my 11 month old son, Charlie, and then spend some time playing with him.
The fact that I own my own business, run my own life and fundamentally have created a lifestyle for myself and my family that allows me to slow down regularly and enjoy the more important things in life is a very, very beautiful thing.
So, enjoy the sunrise, have a great week, and start thinking about embracing your own VBL soon. Take care!

Chris, this looks amazing. You are a very lucky man to be able to see that every day. Hope you enjoyed breakfast with your son. Regards from Canada. RF
@Ralph – Yes, the breakfast was fantastic, as always. The one thing I love about having the freedom to pick and choose where I work and the hours I work, is that I can genuinely spend more time with my family. At the end of the day, that’s what life is all about.
Sure, we HAVE to work hard to be able to provide for them, but when all is said and done, the more time you spend with the family the better feeling you’ll have about everything you do in life – well, at least I do, anyway. Have a lovely weekend with yours!
Hey Chris
Cebu City looks beautiful. Would you recommend it over Manila as an outsourcing centre for an entrepeneur with a young family?
I’m seriously considering the move but want to make sure the family enjoy it as much as me.
Cheers
