Lauren Bateman discusses how aging makes travel harder—older adults often avoid long flights because they need bathroom breaks and more frequent rests—and uses this to argue that people should build their businesses around their desired lifestyle so they can take extended trips and enjoy experiences while they are able.
A big thing that a lot of older adults say prevents them from traveling is the fact that they have to use the bathroom more frequently, and that's why they avoid going on long flights. Travel just becomes more difficult as you get older, so those are things that you want to keep in mind. You got to take more frequent breaks. So when you're younger, you want to get these experiences in while you can. And I don't mean to be like a negative Nelly on that, but it really hones in on what I believe is that your business really needs to be built around your lifestyle so that if you want to go and take a month off somewhere, you can. And you can go and enjoy something. And that's typically what we do now.
