The 5 Habits of 7-Figure Solopreneurs (That Aspiring Nomads Can Steal Right Now)
Because success is built on what you do daily..
The most important habits of 7-figure solopreneurs have nothing to do with money.
Most people chasing seven figures aren’t actually chasing cash — they’re chasing freedom.
Freedom to travel.
Freedom to rest.
Freedom to work from a hammock if the mood strikes.
Freedom to say no thanks to stuff that doesn’t serve them.
But the irony is you don’t need seven figures to get that.
You just need to adopt the habits of people who’ve built that kind of freedom, and apply them to your version of life on the road.
Here are the five most common habits of 7-figure solopreneurs that you can start adopting today:
1. They Err on the Side of Action
Successful solopreneurs don’t sit around waiting for clarity.
They launch before they’re ready, post before they’re confident, and sell before the funnel is perfect. They don’t need the stars to align or Mercury to be in retrograde to press publish — they just go.
That momentum creates results. Even if the first attempt flops, they learn fast, pivot faster, and keep moving.
This habit is especially useful when you’re living a nomadic lifestyle, because there’s never a perfect time. You’re in a new timezone, the Wi-Fi’s patchy, your Airbnb smells weird, but your business doesn’t care.
Action keeps you in the game.
Action Tip: Got an idea? Launch the scrappy version this week. Set a timer, make a plan, hit send. Most people wait. You shouldn’t.
2. They Take Risks and Embrace Failure
Building a portable income means trying things that might not work — new products, new platforms, new offers.
Seven-figure solopreneurs are willing to suck at something long enough to get good at it. They’ve failed in public. They’ve launched things that bombed. They’ve posted things that flopped.
But every single one of those failures taught them something valuable. And those lessons stack up fast.
When you’re travelling, you already know how to navigate uncertainty — the bus that never arrives, the Airbnb with no running water, the time you accidentally ordered cow intestine soup.
That resilience is your secret weapon in business too.
Action Tip: Pick one new thing that feels risky. A course. A pitch. A new offer. Give yourself permission to do it badly — and do it anyway.
3. They Surround Themselves with Smart People
Yes, they work solo (clue is in the title) — but that doesn’t mean they work alone.
Top solopreneurs actively seek out mentors, collaborators, and other digital nomads who are doing interesting things. Whether it’s a mastermind group, a casual accountability buddy, or a WhatsApp thread with fellow biz owners, they stay connected.
They know that growth doesn’t just happen behind a laptop. It happens in conversations, over coffee chats, during collaborations, and inside online communities.
This is especially crucial if you’re working on the road. The nomadic lifestyle can get lonely, and your business will suffer if you try to build in a vacuum.
Action Tip: Join a community (like The 50+ Nomad Club 😉), reach out to someone you admire, or DM a fellow creator and suggest a co-working call. Make connection part of your business model.
4. They Never Stop Learning
Whether they’re on a long-haul flight or waiting out a thunderstorm in Chiang Mai, successful nomads always have a podcast queued, a Kindle full of business books, or a course they’re halfway through.
This habit isn’t in the pursuit of collecting certificates. It’s because they’re curious, adaptable, and want to stay ahead of the curve.
Trends change. Algorithms shift. But those who keep learning stay relevant, and resilient.
Action Tip: Commit to a weekly learning sprint. One hour every Monday morning with a podcast, article, or online class that sharpens your edge. If you’re walking, riding, or sitting still, you could be learning.
5. They Double Down on Their Strengths
This one’s big — especially if you’re trying to do #allthethings.
Seven-figure solopreneurs know what they’re good at, and they stick to it. They don’t waste time struggling through tasks that drain their energy or dilute their momentum.
They either automate it, outsource it, or ditch it altogether.
For nomads, this is vital. Your energy is a limited resource when you’re constantly on the move. Use it wisely.
Action Tip: Audit your week. What felt like a drag? What came naturally? Your business grows faster when you build it around your strengths, not your weaknesses.
Bonus: They Care About Impact, Not Just Income
The happiest, most fulfilled solopreneurs aren’t just chasing revenue, they’re chasing meaning.
They build businesses that help people. They write newsletters that inspire. They create products that solve real problems. They contribute to causes they believe in.
And funnily enough? That’s what makes their businesses last.
If you’re travelling the world while building something from your laptop, you already know this lifestyle is about so much more than money.
Action Tip: Ask yourself — what’s the ripple effect of your work? Who does it help? What change are you trying to create? Let that fuel your next offer.
Build Your Business on Repeatable Wins
You don’t need to have everything figured out. You don’t need to go viral. And you definitely don’t need to build the next million-dollar brand.
But if you want a business that funds your freedom and supports your travels consistently, then habits matter more than anything else.
This lifestyle isn’t built in big, dramatic moments. It’s built in the quiet, repeatable wins:
Writing the email when you don’t feel like it
Showing up even when the algorithm doesn’t reward you
Launching the imperfect product
Sending the pitch
Saying yes to the next small step
And the solopreneurs who make it look effortless aren’t magic. They’ve just built momentum by doing the small things, over and over again.
So don’t wait until you feel “ready.” Pick one habit today, and start there.
The freedom will come faster than you think.
