Manage episode 483845590 series 3432852
Let’s get real. Are you tired of online gurus telling you that you’ll hit 10K months in 90 days- or is this just a smooth marketing tactic?
Well I’m breaking down the real timelines and mindset shifts behind launching a location-independent business so you can finally live your dream digital nomad life.
I'll walk you through the honest truth about how long it actually takes to build an online business that supports a remote work lifestyle. Whether you're starting from scratch with zero digital skills, or you're an advanced professional pivoting from the 9-5, this episode gives you a practical, soul-aligned roadmap.
We'll talk about:
- The difference between “beginner” and “advanced” timelines
- The #1 thing that slows people down (and how to avoid it)
- Why clarity is your most important asset when building a digital nomad lifestyle
- A breakdown of my signature High-Ticket Small Service Provider business model
- Month-by-month timeline based on seasonal energy (yes, really!)
- The emotional and mental growth required to actually succeed as an entrepreneur
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a totally new perspective on what it takes to build a freedom-based business—and why now is the best time to start.
