Welcome to the ERW podcast, I’m your host, BpB, fellow road warrior, husband of one, father of five, author, and on a mission to help business travelers eliminate burnout and exceed results.
Seven Mistakes New Business Travelers Do Wrong and How to Avoid Them
Mistake #1 - Not signing up for TSA PreCheck
These situations happen often and TSA PreCheck will save you over and over.
(For the podcast: I’ll put the link for TSA PreCheck in the show notes). Simply go HERE to apply. (https://www.tsa.gov/precheck)
ERW Tip: If you travel across the US borders, (north eh to Oh Canada or south, no espanol to Mexico) consider Global Entry. (For the podcast: I’ll put the link for Global Entry in the show notes). (https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/how-apply)
Mistake #2 - Not getting your passport now
Quick Tip: Don’t leave your passport at home but always carry it with you in case you need it for another proof of identification.
Mistake #3 - Not using a packing list
These first three rookie road warrior mistakes are all before your trip:
- Not signing up for TSA PreCheck and/or Global Entry
- Not getting your passport now
- Not using a packing list
Mistake #4- Checking a bag
Personally, I’m using the Genius Pack G4 22" Carry On Spinner Luggage
ERW Tip: Use packing cubes to maximize space. You’d be surprised how much you can get in a carry-on bag if you pack properly.
(I’ll put a link in the show notes for options: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=packing+cubes+for+travel&crid=1LDM7DALES8RN&sprefix=packing+cubes%2Caps%2C194&ref=nb_sb_ss_midas-iss-sm_2_13 )
Mistake #5 - Drinking too much at business events
Busy = Can’t Stop Now and I feel hurried
Beatdown = Can’t Take This and I feel stress
Burnout = Can’t Keep Going and I feel done
Mistake #7 - Not maximizing your destination
These 1st three are pre-trip...
- Not signing up for TSA PreCheck
- Not getting a Passport now
- Not using a Packing List
These last four are during a trip…
- Checking a bag
- Drinking too much at business events
- Working all the time on a business trip
- Not maximizing your destination
