30 Cool Things For Successful Entrepreneurs To Do
The best bit about being a successful Internet Entrepreneur is the wonderful Internet lifestyle and freedom that goes with it.
You set your own hours for working, vacation when you want and if you wish, work from anywhere you can get an Internet connection.
Many internet entrepreneurs travel for as much as 6 months at a time – just logging in for an hour or two every day or so to keep on top of things. (count their earnings!)
Some of these experiences are relatively inexpensive – getting there will not be.
Check out the list below for some possibilities – which of these adventures inspires you?
Or perhaps we are missing some adventures you would like to recommend?
| Name | Description | Country | Prices From |
Camel Ride to the Pyramids |

Canyoning in Australia |

Baja Racing in Mexico |
Get off-road and try going over speeds over 100 MPH on rough terrain, now that’s fun! | Mexico | $3,000 |
Naturally Heated River Bathing |
All through this experience isn’t “extreme” – it is by far one of the coolest things to do. In Iceland if you walk up into the hills, the rivers get hotter and hotter, I was able to find a spot to match the heat of my hot tub with a waterfall hitting my back, now that’s a cool experience! | Iceland | FREE |
Go into Outer Space |
Virgin Galactic, set to launch in 2012, will be the first opportunity for commercial space flights. Its planned trajectory will overlap the Earth’s atmosphere at 70,000 feet, which will make it a sub-orbital journey with a short period of weightlessness. | USA | $150,000 |

Sand Dune Boarding |
Just like snowboarding, without the snow. This exhilarating sport allows you ride the dunes on a sandboard or boogie board. Nothing beats the feeling of standing strapped to a sandboard on top of a wind crafted sand dune with wide-open spaces surrounding you. | South Africa | $45 |
Scuba diving at Night in the Caribean |
Swim through the deep waters of the open ocean in the middle of the night. Adventure out to see the nocturnal wonders of the deep blue sea. | Bahamas | $2,295 |
ZapCat Racing |
Take an insane trip on the English channel in a ZapCat race boat with a professional and see just how crazy it can get. | England | $350 |

Zero G Force Flight |
Some years back just before Yanik Silver launched Maverick Business Adventures, I was able to go with him and a few other big-name Guru’s on a Zero-G flight. An amazing experience and the best fun I have ever had! | USA | $4,950 |

Definately looking forward to doing some of those things xD
Amazing list! Ill have to give a few of these ago when I generate the funds!
Not sure about the Baja Racing though, not with all this swine flu business going about! Maybe when it’s died out like everything else!
Baja Racing is super fun — I was in Baja back in January — those are awesome driving machines
And I am of to Necker Island in 2 weeks!! 😉
Oh my God, these are some amazing things to do. Perhaps I should get some posters featuring these activities, paste it on my wall so that they can push me forward to achieve my dreams – remember $1000 day?
Can’t wait to get my hands into some of that! 😀
Well when I have the funds I’m going to go and do some of these 🙂
Kewl list!
I’ve done sky diving and bungee jumping in France.
Also, I’ve done Scuba Diving in the South East .
Will be doing more kewl stuff hopefully!!
Nice 😀
Id love to do that bungie jump in China!
Sounds like fun – I’m working my way through that list!
I would love to go hang gliding!
Very inspiring post!
For me it would be the GUMBALL! every single time. Id have my DBS Volante, screaming down those highways with my roof down.
I’m with your there! I love checking out the Gumball videos, one day I want to be there in my Ferrari 😀 ha
I would be terrified, but would love to try eveyr single one of those!
I think I’d just prefer a well deserved lay-in and breakfast in bed 🙂
Sometimes thats all we need David 🙂
Cool.. We are in the process of going there..
Nice..
Thanks,
Srini Centhala

Heli-Skiing is definately my pick! I cannot wait to be able to do that.
Man, awesome list! Love the photos too!
I’d do one of those glamour tours in exotic cars like the Black Palace Rally: http://blog.paradizo.com/luxury-vacation/black-palace-rally-ultimate-experiences/
Or heli-skiing in New Zealand, that has to be amazing!
Some really rad stuff here! I personally would love to do the HALO skydive – must be such an awesome experience 🙂
Absolutely fantastic list, so inspirational. I’ve been dreaming of the private island idea for a while too =D
screw the crocodile cage diving… get rid of the cage and just go crocodile diving! 😛
if you’re looking for a bigger adrenaline rush! HAHA
really cool list btw!
Michael,
Nice job putting together a list with stuff I even have not done yet 😉
Cage diving with Crocs. Might have to add to my South Africa trip for next year. Great ideas you put here to inspire some wild entrepreneurs to add to their Life lists.
-Yanik
Hey Yanik,
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the list. Haha… no problem, you inspire most of us with your wild Internet lifestyle.
Michael
Great list and really beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing that with us Michael.
Great list Michael. There’s a strange error in the text not matching the pictures though, on the Baja driving and the Gumball Rally.
I was quite chuffed to see that I’ve already done ten of those! Benefit of being a “Not young” entrepreneur I guess!
Virgin Galactic is my next objective.
Thanks for spotting that Mike 🙂 Glad you have been able to do 10 of those, not many people have even done any. Let us know how Space was 😉
Wow those all look like fun. Wish I could do those!
I was watching videos of the gumball rally yesterday!
I didn’t think this list was going to be very good, sorry! But one look at it and I have to say I want to do every single thing on there!
Reading this list is a good way to start the day 🙂 Now I know some of the upcomming events I the following years.
Nice list. Dont forget the 8th wonder of the world in Kenya the wilderbeest migration. http://tr.im/kver. An experience of a lifetime
AW ! Never done even one of those. So sad of me Hope to do some of those 🙂
I can do many of those on the profits I make, the ones like private island and gumball I can’t without sinking everything I have into it lol. The private island looks better than the gumball one though.
looking forward to be go to that places! hope my blog can make a living
Blech! Wish this was named things for a “male” entrepreneur to do… because I for one would not want to do any of them. Yanik’s a great guy, he’s just really a Guy. Maybe I need to post a blog about the things a female entrepreneur gets to do. Like buying houses. And shoes. And that carpenter to do stuff my husband will put off for ages. And planting my new fruit tree orchard. And donating computers and Internet access to orphanages. And helping our favorite rural church build a new roof. etc etc. I do not want to go near a fast car/plane/bungee/boat..etc ever. If only Yanik had mentioned Nordstroms shoe department!
Awesome list! You should submit this to the travel channel, and have them foot the bill. I leave the show theme and pitch up to you 🙂
I agree with Anne, there are many other things in the world I would do, but that is the beauty of each person being different.
I know I would seek a home abroad and some creature comforts (such as the £2500 rocking chair I saw Saturday in Libertys, London) before I spent on the above, if any at all.
Hopefully I’ll be successful enough to be able to take all those trips. I’m just starting to plan my first trip out of the country- maybe I’ll try the Costa Rica zipline…
why not try the philippines, they have good beaches and great spots.
Wow, we can all see that you love your country a lot!
Really cool things we can do if I have extra money! Just wonder how you compile this comprehensive list, is a lot of efforts!
I have got to say you have the best list posts on the internet I have ever read. All of these are awesome and I hope I get to do just half of them. My favorites would have to be Pebble Beach, Zero G flight and the zip line sounds pretty cool as well. Thanks
This makes me want to travel again and not sit in front of my computer.
Helps a great deal in working on a concrete plan.
If anyone here has ever done duneboarding, I hate you. I want to try it sooooo bad…. 😀 I love snowboarding, but duneboarding just looks like something else :O
those are cool things but I like sports more then travelling or stuff like this. I would go to lots of hockey games if I had the money I dreamed of.
