If starting a business FEELS hard, it’s because you don’t understand these fundamental mindset concepts.

In today’s episode, I want to go through a series of topics that I tend to talk about with my clients often, where it's like they're thinking about business with a mindset that actually keeps them in scarcity, or it keeps them confused, it keeps them feeling stuck. And then when I share my perspective about business, suddenly—boom—they're unstuck.

Boom, suddenly they have clarity.

Boom, suddenly they have more motivation.

Boom, suddenly they feel more free to actually take the next step in building their business.

So today I want start talking about these aspects of business that you really need to understand if you want to have an easier time building a business.

Building a business is NOT easy, but it also doesn't have to be that complicated.

You don't have to be that smart to build a business.

You don't need to have an amazing idea.

You don't need to have a ton of upfront capital.

You don't need to have really anything specific in order to build a business.

So let's dive into these mindset shifts about business, hopefully then it will be easier for you to build your uncomplicated business.

Today, I want take you back to where my nomad life all began because I happen to recording this where it all started, Costa Rica.

And to be honest, being there on this trip has surfaced some emotional stuff for me that I wasn't fully expecting to surface and it’s kind of caught me off guard. I want to share the lessons that are coming up, my story and some things I want to come clean about.

I've kind of been a little bit l offended when people ask me this question, which is: what are you running away from? And I have always thought, why do I have to be running away from something?

I'm not running away from anything.

But to be honest, I now understand 10 years later that at the time I was running away from something, that I just wasn't ready to acknowledge. And today I want to talk about that and my story of how I became a digital nomad and now have a life in Bali.

I also think that with everything that I share I just really hope that it falls upon the right ears, that there is someone out there who needs to hear this story and is gonna resonate with it, not just to help you feel less alone, but also to as a conclusion to this whole podcast to give you permission. Give you permission to follow your dream, whether you are running away from something or not.

So let me take you back to when my nomadic life began..

We will dive into:

• The travel story of how my digital nomad life actually began
• Why Costa Rica changed everything for me
• What it felt like taking the first steps toward a remote job lifestyle
• The emotional side of returning to the place where your dream started
• The excitement, uncertainty, and discomfort of building a life as a digital nomad
• Why sometimes our biggest life pivots begin with one spontaneous trip

Today, I am interviewing one of my previous clients, Aleigha Knight, who has such an amazing success story I wanted to share it with you.

We are now recording this in Bali where she lives with her digital nomad business she built, but that isn’t where she started. She started in New York working a corporate job, getting no sunlight and working in a basement and realized this can’t be it for her.

So she invested in my program, The Digital Nomad Life Academy to redirect and change the trajectory she was on.

This year, she sold all of her stuff, let go of her apartment, and took her new Fractional Chief of Staff Business across the world to Bali.

Today we are talking about her transition and also how her story is a testament that you too can change the trajectory your life is on.

This episode is for you if:

• You feel stuck in your 9-to-5 but don’t know how to leave
• You want to quit your job and work remotely
• You dream of becoming a digital nomad
• You want to get paid to travel
• You’re curious about starting a service-based online business
• You want proof that it’s possible to reinvent your career
