The Jet Set Alphaville

View:

For most people who own pets, these furry friends are more family, than simple pets. For this reason, we see a growing number of people who take their pets on vacation. While this makes things more fun for the owner and the animal, it also comes with a new set of challenges. The best option is excellent planning so you and your pet are comfortable and safe while having a great time.

One of the greatest challenges of traveling with pets is trying to locate a hotel that accommodates. Even though we see the problem lessening, you will still find many hotels that do not welcome pets. This means you end up staying in a hotel other than what you would prefer just for the sake of the animal. Therefore, we suggest as you plan your next vacation, check with the Convention and Visitors Bureau for the state you will travel to, which can provide you with a list of pet friendly hotels. Now, even when you receive this list, you should call ahead to make sure there are no surprises and that you understand any additional charges that may apply.

In addition, always make sure pets have a collar, tags show they are up to date on vaccinations, and an ID tag with your name, phone number, and the pet's name. This way, in case your animal was to escape from your care, you would have a much better opportunity of having your pet returned. These ID tags might also include your veterinarian's phone number. Then, before you leave on vacation, contact your veterinarian, letting him or her know where you will be staying. That way, if your pet is lost and the person phones your veterinarian, you could be contacted. ID tags are sold at most veterinarian offices, as well as retail stores for less than $5.

We also recommend that when traveling with pets, you carry a current photograph with you. That way, if your pet were to become lost, you could show the picture to people, thus increasing your chances of finding your furry friend. If you will be traveling by car, you want to make your pet as comfortable as possible. For this, bring a favorite blanket, toys, and food and water dishes. These familiar items will put the pet at ease. In addition, if you will be traveling with pets on an airline, you can place a favorite blanket in the bottom of the carrier, again providing something comfortable and familiar.

Most importantly, always keep your pet on a leash, take bottled water if you plan walking or sightseeing, and never leave a pet unattended in a car. Unfortunately, people forget that a car can reach 150 to 200 degrees inside in no time. Even with a small cracked window, the car would become an oven. Therefore, to protect your pets, keep them with you where you know they are safe, and sound.

The Jet Set Alphaville

St. Tropez has historically been the summer playground of the old monied Jet Set. Not any longer. The New Jet Set have arrived. The difference between the two classes of Jet Setters on the surface may seem indistinguishable, but make no mistake they are very different. One is concerned with making a bunch of cash and the other is concerned with creating an income that is automated, scalable and location independent.

The Old Jet Set

The old Jet Set model has been primarily based around amassing a bunch of cash either through inheritence or a lifetime of hard work. Good old hard work and savings will produce cash, yes, but it has its price. This deferred living model is flawed for many reasons. The most evident of which is the state of our current economic crisis. Fortunes are being lost over night and in many cases won't ever be realized again. Now, compare that to how the New Jet Set have things set up.

The New Jet Set

The New Jet Set is "A subculture of people who choose to live their life now, instead of deferring their dreams to later in life. They have learned to leverage technology to create income, time and freedom......". That's it. Right there. "They learned to leverage technology to create income, time and freedom."

Leverage Technology and Create Income, Time and Freedom

We are in a new world. We have CNN and Ashton Kutcher fighting it out for the top spot on Twitter. Newspaper companies dropping like flys and grandma's turning to Facebook to connect with their peeps. We can't look to the future using a rear view mirror any longer. Things are changed forever. The information age isn't coming - it's here. It's time to leverage that technology, harness it and bend it to our favor. The old model is d-e-a-d. Here's something to consider. Last night Kim and I were watching a 60 minutes report about the 401k collapse. So many sad stories about peoples life savings gone, or almost gone, in the span of just a few short years. Kim pointed out (brilliantly) that if all those nice folks had spent equal time in creating their muses as they did funding their 401k's they would have a monthly income to access now. No judgement here. I really feel horrible for these families. I'm not sayin' I'm just sayin'. What we're really talking about is not focusing on the big pile of cash at the end of the rainbow, the defered life plan, but rather income now and savings second. In NO way am I saying don't save. That's stupid. I'm saying work on creating income that is scalable, automatable and location independent FIRST!

Two Ways to Get to the Same Beach

Let's get back to where I'm most comfortable. The beach. The same sexy beaches of the French Rivera will have two different people on it. The ones who have stepped into this wonderful new world of leveragable, scalable, technology driven income and those who haven't figured it out. Save yourself the headache and the drama and get to work on figuring out how to create this for yourself.

If you already have your muse in place and will be in St. Tropez over the summer send us a Tweet here. Try not to loose your shirt in these crazy economic times unless of course you're in St. Tropez - then that would be a good thing :)
