Five Lies About Business Travel

Business travel has many misconceptions. Someone who lives in the 9-to-5 office world truly does not understand our world. At all.

They have the essence of routine, consistency, and predictable-ness. Every single day.

Almost the exact opposite of a business traveler. And we like it that way.

Then there are family and friends who think we’re continually on vacation and we “have the life.”

Although they may think this is the case, whether we realize it or not, there are realities about business travel that are just not true.

Two specific groups of people within our inner circle of business travel, need to know the truth:

  1. Future business travelers – whether you’re in a company that is grooming you to travel or you want to switch jobs or even careers to begin to travel for work
  2. Leaders of business travelers – those that oversee and influence the work life of a road warrior

Why these two specific groups?

It’s because perception becomes reality and truth oftentimes just must be shared to expose the lie.

I’ve uncovered five specific lies I want to expose especially for future business travelers and those who lead business travelers. Each lie will also have a pushback, the truth, and an elite tip.

Five Lies About Business Travel

Lie #1 – Business Travel is a luxurious life

This is the one I hear all the time from friends and family. When someone meets me for the 1st time or hasn’t seen me in a while, they usually ask about all my “cool adventures.” Aka: tell me about your luxurious work life.

Here’s the Pushback – When someone hears you travel for work, they think or even say, “That’s awesome. You get to fly to cool cities, stay in really nice hotels, eat out at restaurants all the time, and get served. And you’re by yourself. That’s the life! I would do anything for your life.”

Does business travel offer some great perks? Of course. But like anything, too much of a good thing, or anything for that matter, grows old and loses its luster. The same is true with business travel. Just ask a road warrior who’s been at it for a while.

We’re not going on a vacation with a stress-free flight to an exotic place. We’re going to work, man. I’m in a suit, not shorts and flip-flops.

Hotels begin to look the same. The food begins to taste the same.

The outsider, whether an office-only co-worker or friends/family just doesn’t see what we know as “traveler friction” – delayed flights, canceled meetings, endless traffic, late nights with people we don’t really like. And on and on and on.

Truth: Business travel is a vocation not a vacation with different expectations and needed results.

Elite Tip: Find something to look forward to “doing or seeing” on every single trip:

  • Go to a ballgame
  • Visit a cool site in the city
  • Eat at a local favorite restaurant

In Elite Road Warrior lingo, we call this Downtime – time to be, not to be on. You need downtime to allow yourself to unwind so you can perform at your best. If I’m by the ocean, I always see a sunset. If I’m in a town I’ve never visited, I always see the sites. If they have a sports team, I must see a game. If they’re known for a certain style of food, I find that premier restaurant. You get the point.

Business travel is not a luxurious life but it doesn’t have to be a boring life either and if we play it right, the road can bring us the energy to perform at an elite level.

Lie #2 – It’s hard to eat healthy on the road

At first, this lie is very easy to believe.

For too many years, I believed, supported, and defended this lie. I flew by the Travel 20 to the Entitled 40… pounds that is, when in reality, I simply had no food boundaries and literally had the weight to prove it. I didn’t pass up on any of the king’s food or miss any of the king’s wine. So, of course, I said it was hard to eat healthy on the road.

Here’s the Pushback – Many of my meals I don’t actually choose the food (meaning the client provides lunch or chooses the dinner location).

This is a generalization and, again, I get it since it used to be me. It’s true, this happens, but sometimes, most of the time I have choices. And even if the client provides the lunch or chooses the dinner location, there are still healthier options.

Truth: Eating healthy is a proactive decision, not a reactive determination.

You can influence the client far more than you realize. Often, they’re uncertain what to choose in the first place. I’m often very clear that I eat on the healthier side. And I never let them determine “what is healthy for me.” I’ll give them examples of a grilled chicken dark green salad for lunch or steak or seafood with veggies for dinner.

I also realize there are often limited options at the airport. I get that but don’t rely on the airport for your nutrition.

Elite Tip: Do your intel at an airport. For example, as I’m walking out of the airport from the gate after landing, I’m looking around at all my food options but not for right now. But for when? My return flight home so I know if I can eat at this airport or I need to prepare in advance to eat somewhere else.

Elite Road Warrior teaches four words that should be your guide on eating healthy on the road: Make the Healthiest Choice.

Not the easiest choice, or the quickest choice, or the largest choice, or the tastiest choice but make the healthiest choice. It can be done if eating healthy is a proactive decision, not a reactive determination.

 

Lie #3- I have no control of my time on the road

This lie is a sneaky one because we subtly learn to be reactive on business travel. We watch others. We see our co-workers, bosses, fellow road warriors.

We do things in the moment. We’re just not trained how to do Road Life.

Every company I’ve ever worked for did a good or great job training me on the product or service but when it came to how to do road life and how to manage my time and energy on the road, it happened only… NEVER!

The road is a completely different animal that is a developed, learned skill to know when and how to work in the margins so you’re not working all the time which leads to burnout and inconsistent results.

Here’s the Pushback – I’m not in charge of my schedule. You don’t know how many meetings I have or what’s required of me on every single trip. I work every second I can on the road.

I hear you on that one and have been “that guy” before for way too long.

Truth: You have far more control of your time and results than you realize.

Once I started taking personal responsibility for MY time and MY energy, everything began to change. I didn’t wait for my company to train and teach me because in my case, it never would’ve happened. In fact, this is the very reason I created the Elite Road Warrior Group! I want to train business travelers, like you, how to make the most of the road.

Elite Tip: Intentionally put up Road Blocks every day of your business trip. Huh? I thought Road Blocks were a bad thing. Not if you use them properly.

A Road Block is a barrier around something to get work done. In this context, you want as many Road Blocks on the road as you can get in your day!

You need to schedule blocks of time to focus on one specific task (email, phone calls, quotes, data entry, presentations, etc) for a set period of time so you can get consistent results.

When you schedule Road Blocks and focus, you’ll be amazed at how much you can get done in this set window of time and you’ll have more time than you think on the road. It’s the work smarter not harder principle.

Energy Habit Four is Perform and goes into a ton of detail about how to perform at an elite level. The book, Elite Road Warrior goes into far more detail so pick up the physical, digital, or audio version today.

Lie #4 – My family is not affected when I’m on the road

This lie gets personal quick and can easily get exposed by a handful of inquiry questions.

A few questions can expose just how any given road warrior views “life back home” while on the road.

Or to put it another way: “Says the man who leaves his wife or significant other to take care of everything back home including YOUR kids!”

Disclaimer: Women don’t fall for this lie at all in fact they actually feel the stress of home on the road worrying if things back home are going as planned.

For the rest of us, do you know who is really affected?

  • Your spouse who is left to take care of everything on their own
  • Your kids who now have to rely on just one parent

Here’s the Pushback – Well, they’ve never said anything or they don’t know anything different because I’ve always traveled.

Truth: Your family needs you to be present on the road just as you are at home but leverage the time in a different way.

Energy Habit Six is called Connect and it focuses on leveraging your time on the road to connect with those you love back home in intentional, thoughtful, and creative ways.

This means leveraging the road to continue to be present in ways you wouldn’t normally do at home and end up making an impact on them.

Even though I’m not physically there with my family, I can still be visually and audibly present.

There was a stretch that my travel was so heavy and it brought on so much stress with my wife and kids. It was brutal on my marriage and my relationship with my kids, especially the younger ones.

I finally heard my wife say “something’s gotta change” (words you never want to hear) and realized she had been giving me clues all along. I just wasn’t listening and noticing.

As a result, I vowed to “change my ways” but realized I need to be patient, purposeful and planned.

Elite Tip: three tangible “change my ways” products to help you stay connected with your family on the road…

  • Not Forgotten Journal – learning to take just two minutes to write something to my wife each day in a journal I would one day give to her
  • Flat Kiddos – colored characters that I take pictures of in my world
  • Connect Cards – creative cards made by kids for kids that I leave and send to my kids writing meaningful words

I challenge you to stop denying that your family is not affected and to make connecting a huge priority.

 

Lie #5 – There are no temptations with business travel

We’re all wired differently from our interests to our style to our preferences to our attractions.

For those who don’t travel and are put in a place where temptation can appear, they can easily assume and even judge that it would never happen to them.

Here’s the Pushback – I’ve handled being put in a tempting position before and would be strong again

But do you know what changes? Being potentially thousands of miles from home and nobody may ever know.

Episode 085 and the article from two weeks ago discusses the dark side of business travel because it’s real, scary, and dangerous. We discuss the five downward spiral choices into the dark side of business travel.

  • There are food temptations / drink temptations / sexual temptations on the road
  • We have endless opportunities to experiment that can lead to new road habits that can lead to hidden addictions
  • We can even be put into moral decisions we thought ever thought we would be put in and respond in ways we may regret the rest of our lives

Truth: You can have integrity on the road when you’re aware of the temptations and have boundaries.

Elite Tip: Two Powerful Words: Know Thyself

The phrase came from the teachings of Socrates and popularized by Plato. It was the first of three maxims inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. The two maxims that followed “know thyself” were “nothing to excess” and “surety brings ruin”.

The 2nd phrase is applicable here too: nothing to excess.

Know Thyself means to recognize how human I really am and the right place meeting the right circumstances can take me down. So, let me get personal: I know I have an addictive personality. I’m a risk-taker and too easily push boundaries.

As a result, I MUST be very cautious on the road to not compromise my integrity, reputation, and family. I’m old enough to know the difference between short-term pleasure and long-term regret but must never believe the lie there are no temptations that can affect me on business travel.

Awareness on the road is key. My hope is this article was revealing, challenging, and a reminder of how easy we can fall into lies that can affect so many aspects of our road results and ultimately our lives.

Leverage….. to help you become and remain an Elite Road Warrior today to eliminate burnout and exceed results.

Seven Things I Do On Every Flight

Most business travelers have one thing in common and that is they’re on an airplane. But how they use their time on the flight is where things change.

How we use our time is a very personal thing. Not convinced?

Tell someone they’re not using their time wisely and just wait for THAT response.

I suggest stepping back or ready for the inner defense attorney in them to come pouring out.

And since I’m a student of road warriors as a business travel performance expert, I’m always watching, listening, and learning how they spend their time.

One of the best labs for this observation is the airplane, imagine that.

You can tell who is on the plane for business travel and who is there for leisure. The ones that stand out as the business traveler use their time doing three primary things:

  • Work
  • Watch Something
  • Sleep

They sleep because they’re exhausted before they even land to their destination on the very 1st day of the trip.

We know how THAT story goes and not the ideal way to start your Anchor Day.

I’m often either asked how I spend my time on a plane and/or those around me comment on my use of time on the flight.

Let me give you a money PRO TIP this early in the article.

Create Your Flight Plan.

A pilot has a flight plan and so should you. Both take you from one place to the other.

This is the exact opposite of most road warriors.

Again, what do they do?

  • Work
  • Watch Something
  • Sleep

Some multi-task and somehow able to do all three at the same time and doing none of them well.

Have you seen that guy or girl? Is that you?

If it’s an early flight, they’re knocked out before the flight even takes off.

When they awaken from their coma nap with award mocking, I mean marvelous hair, they crack open their laptop and randomly go at it.

Then they get bored and start to watch something.

That’s more of a Flight C’mon Man than a Flight Plan.

There are four arguments going on with business travelers on “who’s time” it really is on a flight:

1.  The company time and no matter what time you’re on a flight (I’ve worked for companies like that and despised it by the way)
2.  The company’s time during normal business hours (and is there such a thing on the road?)
3.  The company and your time as long as you get your work done
4.  YOUR time and only your time unless you choose to use YOUR time for work – after all, business and personal hours are easily blurred on the road

No matter where you stand on the four arguments, the point is you need a plan and I propose…

The Elite Road Warrior Flight Plan which has the following three elements:

1.  What you’re going to do
2.  The order you’re going to do it
3.  Approximate times

The moral of the story here, Road Warriors, is whatever you do, you do on purpose.

If you work, you know…

  • What you’re going to do
  • The order you’re going to do it
  • Approximate times

If it’s a blend (between work and your time), you know…

  • What you’re going to do
  • The order you’re going to do it
  • Approximate times

If it’s only your time…

  • What you’re going to do
  • The order you’re going to do it
  • Approximate times

Why is this so important? Because how we use our time is how we spend our lives and this includes a flight especially if you fly a ton as I do.

Elite Road Warriors use their time wisely in their Work, their Health, and their Home Life, the three focus areas of Elite Road Warrior.

And it starts with one of my favorite locations to do Focus Work.

It’s where the phone doesn’t ring.

Someone can’t swing by my office.

I can choose to be online or offline.

And that my fellow road warriors, is the gift of the plane.

 

Seven Things I Do On Every Flight

The following things everyone can do on every single flight no matter if it’s an hour, across the country, or across the ocean.

What changes? The length and frequency.

The longer the flight, the longer each of the following may occur and just how often I chose to do them. The important point here is what they are.

And remember, our Flight Plan exists of:
1.  What you’re going to do
2.  The order you’re going to do it
3.  Approximate times

It’s asking this very critical question:

Where Do I Want This Time to Take Me in the End?

When you land, how did you use your time?

So learn to ask:

Where Do I Want This Time to Take Me in the End?

  1. Read / Listen

The 1st thing I do every single time is read/listen to a book.

Why first?

Personally, I just can’t get any work done because of all the interruptions of people boarding the plane, getting by me since I prefer the aisle to get up to stand, stretch, and walk.

So, through the years, I’ve learned that if I don’t read the first thing, I rarely get to it later on, but that’s just me.

I find it also calms my mind and puts me in a place of personal or professional development which is energy habit #5.

Prioritize the important not urgent first.

To be clear, my reading time is boarding time after I find my set and get situated until once I reach 10K feet is my goal is my read/listen time.

It always happens and 100% predictable that I choose my seat and get set, we take off and the announcement of 10K feet.

So, leverage this predictable time to get your “read/listen on”.

Challenge:  If you’ve not read the Elite Road Warrior book, I challenge you to get it, and dedicate this boarding to 10K time to read the book.

 

2.  Drink Water

Most people avoid water on the plane for a couple of reasons:

  • They say they don’t want to have to get up to go to the bathroom but then will have two cokes or an adult beverage or three.
  • They just don’t drink water normally when they’re on the ground and it’s just not part of their Road Routine.

But the reality is you should double your amount of water on the plane. Huh? Why?

When you are on a plane, you’re basically flying in a sky desert, according to Life Hacker, where the humidity hovers around 10- 20%, which is less than the Sahara Desert, crazy enough.

This is due to the plane’s air circulation, or lack thereof.

Compare that to normal humidity, which is between 30-60%, and it’s no wonder you’re more dehydrated on a plane, which is why you often feel a little more fatigued, have headaches, and nausea when flying.

On a plane, if you were to bring a soaking wet washcloth on to the plane, within 90 minutes, it will be completely dry!

The last thing I do before boarding the plane is head to the bathroom and try and go (I hear my father say, “Son, just push and try anyway!”), then I fill up my water bottle.

It’s the times when I don’t and rely on drink service that we hit turbulence for six hours on a two-hour flight and the flight attendant can’t get up – or can they? Hmm.

And did you know every airline has at least this one thing in common? Free Refills on water.

So, I chug water often and let it do its magic.

Challenge: Drink about 8 ounces of water for every hour you’re in the air, According to Dr. Peter Hackett, the director of the Institute for Altitude MedicineSo just plan on drinking twice as much water on a plane when you’re flying.

 

3.  Think Space

What is Think Space? Taking time to think and put your thoughts on paper.

It’s the key element of Process the Thoughts which is the 2nd part of the Invest in You Formula of energy habit 5, develop.

Why take time for Think Space?

Personally, my brain is always and I mean always going. I need time to get what’s in there, out of there.

I’ve always been good at the 1st part of the Invest in You Formula of Sharpening the Mind by putting things in but not getting things out.

And hence the need for Think Space.

What do I use?

The Elite Road Warrior Journal which has two sections: one for Think Space (process the thoughts) and one for Road Life journaling. (monitor the heart).

How long do I take?  It depends on the flight but anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.

What do I think about?

You name it.

Sometimes it’s just free form. I just open it up and go wherever my mind takes me.

And since it’s scary in there, what I think or write about maybe all over the place.

But usually 5 minutes or so into Think Space, my mind starts to settle and I think about something specific and process it.

Ideas:

  • Your trip
  • Follow-up
  • Your goals
  • How to connect with fam/friends

The point here is leveraging the peace and quiet in the air and create time to think.

I have a blog post about Think Space along with an entire chapter in the Elite Road Warrior book for more details and examples.

Challenge: make just 5 minutes to do nothing but think on your next flight and write it down, preferably in the Elite Road Warrior branded journal (just sayin’ man).

 

4. Stand and Stretch

Believe it or not, you’re actually not completely at the mercy of the seat belt light or everyone else’s sedentary behavior.

30-60 seconds to stand and stretch makes a huge difference every 30 minutes.

Why?

Your body gets tight especially the older you are.

And your mind gets tired.

I define a break as Move the Body and Rest the Mind. And a break can be a micro-break of 30-60 seconds. Perfect time to stand and stretch.

If you don’t stand and stretch consistently, you’ll be surprised and quickly of just how much this one act will do for you on a flight to go back and do whatever you’re doing.

Challenge: commit and take just one stand and stretch break during your next flight

 

5.  Work

This one goes back to the four arguments of who’s time is it really on a flight.

If and when I work, I try to leverage this unique time:

  • No phone calls
  • No work chat or texts
  • No stop by your office to chat
  • No WiFi if you want to – if I want to be officially “off the grid”, I can be and ain’t nobody can do anything about it

My guidelines for working on a plane:

  • Have Rules – how long
  • Have a Plan – high leverage tasks
  • Have focus – drill down on only one task

This can be Deep Work time. If you abide by the guidelines, you can knock out this Time Block of focused, deep work time to make some serious progress.

Challenge: Choose one high leverage task at a time and focus on that one task for a set period of time

 

6.  Walk

Every hour or more I get up and am “free to move about the cabin” as they say.

My water I drink (from Drink Water, 2nd on the list of things I do on every flight) kicks in and it’s Go Time and I mean literally.

It’s a great reminder to stand, stretch, and walk.

I always choose the bathroom in the furthest direction. Why? Get more walking and potentially stand and stretch time if I have to wait.

Again, going back to the definition of a break, Move the Body and Rest the Mind, a walk no matter where you walk is a great catalyst to do both and then come back even more refreshed to get back to the task at hand.

Challenge: commit and take at least one stroll down the aisle during your next flight (if you did #2, drink water, this may just be your trigger reminder)

 

7.  Meditate

Once we’re about to land and the cabin is getting cleaned/ seat trays in their full and upright position, I use this time as a trigger to meditate.

I don’t get down in a lotus position and make a scene to go Zen on everyone.  But I do take a few moments to meditate after I put all my gear away.

Why? Get in the right headspace.

I want to get where I’m going prepared, focused, and in the right state of mind.

And this is done by mindfulness.

You can hear more about it on the Elite Road Warrior Podcast episode #27 on why meditation didn’t work for me on the road… (which is a hook title, FYI) so I’m a big believer in the benefits of taking time on a flight to meditate and get my head in the right place.

Why? Because, at least for me, once that plane lands and I stand, it’s Go Time. To Work or head home.

Either way I want to be mindful.

Challenge: take just one minute to try and meditate once your flight begins to ascend to become mindful of what’s next after the flight

 

Honorable Mentions…

A. Watch Something

The default and the top two tasks by far most do on a plane.

If and when I watch something, this is my binge-watch something. Breaking Bad was my show and now it’s Bosch from Amazon Prime.

Sometimes, especially on a late flight on the way home, it’s nice to zone out to a show or a movie.

There’s nothing wrong with it but to me, it’s a reward once I get my Flight Plan high leveraged tasks complete.

 

B. Talk To Your Neighbor

The irony here is one of the unwritten rules of a business traveler on a flight is applying the DND international symbol – putting on the Do Not Disturb headphones then not making contact.

But sometimes it’s nice to talk to someone – you never know where it could lead. My last keynote came from someone I sat next to on a flight!

 

C. Develop

Learn something beyond a book/audiobook.

For this very reason, I’m creating an online course called The Kickstart Road Course which is the “video how-to” of the Elite Road Warrior book.

This is definitely “ELITE” Road Warrior status but a great use of focused time.

 

Let’s Land This Plane

I want to prove to you the power of a Flight Plan in action with focused work.

The Elite Road Warrior book was written over a nine-month period of time by committing to this very plan of the seven things I do on every flight. I prepared myself with reading, drinking water, and standing/stretching/walking to stay sharp to write flight after flight after flight.

This can be done Road Warriors and if you’ve read or listened to my book, you’ve benefited from it too!

000 – The Unofficial 1st Episode of the Elite Road Warrior Podcast

 

Welcome to the Elite Road Warrior Podcast where we believe you can leverage the road to transform your work, health, and home life while on business travel. And my challenge is to help you master the business travel life.

I’m your host, Bryan Paul Buckley and welcome to the unofficial 1st episode of The Elite Road Warrior Podcast. This is the prequel, 411, the backstory, and off the record episode designed to give you the purpose and focus of this podcast so you know what to expect moving forward.

In this episode you’ll learn:
Who I Am and why you should consider listening to me in future episodes – 1:42
Ideal Listener – 3:31
Topics – 4:31
Rhythm – 5:12
Length – 5:49
Tone – 5:52
Future Episodes – 7:47

Let me answer a question you may be asking right out of the gate (and it just may mean airport gate) depending on where you’re listening to this episode right now.

Bio – 1:42
Been a business traveler more years than I’ve not with a heavy focus as a Road Warrior over the past decade
I’ve been primarily a North American traveler and done my share of international working for companies in Australia and Spain
My travel is mostly planes and rental cars
I grew up with a father who was a Road Warrior and gone around 35 of 52 weeks of the year so I get the good, the bad, and the ugly of business travel and especially how it affects the family
Husband of 1 / Father of 5 and live in the Chicago land area (with children of all ages!)
Avid Sports fan (especially Chicago teams)
I have an eclectic education in business, psychology, religion, and believe it or not, music
Health Nut (now) and quite a story to get me there
I’ve been 40 lbs overweight on the road from eating the best of the king’s food and drinking the best of the king’s wine
I’ve had and recovered from major health and energy issues from business travel
Most of all I’m passionate about helping Road Warriors become elite by leveraging the road to transform their work / health / and especially their home life all while on business travel and master the business travel life

Ideal Listener – 3:31
Your day job’s focus is traveling for work
There’s a term in psychology called an Egoic Label which simply means you ARE or you ARE NOT that person. For example, you’re pregnant or you’re not. You’re a father or you’re not. In this case you’re a Road Warrior or you’re not. If you travel once or twice a year, you’re not a Road Warrior
Ideal listener is also someone who could be just starting out with business travel, who strong desire to constantly improve, but often the road has just plain beaten you up and you want and need to make some changes

Topics – 4:31
Anything that affects the effectiveness of a business traveler
But specifically The Elite Road Warrior concept centers around the Six Energy Habits which we’ll get into the weeds in future episodes.
Topics we’ll frequent: productivity on the road / sleep / your health from what you eat and drink to how you move (or don’t move for that matter). We’ll talk about professional and personal development, connecting back home with those you love, and so much more.

Rhythm – 5:12
I have high variety needs so most things I do have an element of variety. As a result, this podcast will have this rhythm:
Odd Numbered Episodes – content driven from me
Even Numbered Episodes – interviews with subject matter experts and road warriors that are excelling that we can learn from their practices and habits

Length – 5:49
Well, I’ve done extensive research in this area and have determined with incredible accuracy the sweet spot for this type of podcast is exactly (drum roll please) exactly two hours.
A HUSH comes over the crowd / dramatic pause
Laughter track
I could NOT be more kidding
20-30 minutes tops is the ideal time
The only letters at the back of my name do not consist of PHD or MD but ADD and ADHD so we’ll get in and out with valuable content so no one gets hurt

Tone – 5:52
I’m a challenger / motivator / but also can be sarcastic so buyer (or in this case listener) beware
In the end, I want you to think about your Road Life and want you to walk away challenged and motivated to make the necessary changes to stop limiting the road and what it can’t do for you but learn to leverage the road and what it can give to you

Preview of Future Episodes – 7:47
001 – Five Reasons Why You’re Not an Elite Road Warrior Yet But How to Become One
002 – Interview
