𝒟𝑜 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓀𝓃𝑜𝓌 𝓂𝓎 𝓂𝒾𝓈𝓈𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝑜𝒻 𝓎𝑜𝓊?⁣ ⁣ ✨Women with fierce ambition and fearless goals.✨⁣ ⁣ ✨Women striving to build lives you are proud of.✨⁣ ⁣ ✨Women who are unapologetically ambitious.✨⁣ ⁣ I already know you are ambitious, otherwise, you wouldn’t be here trying to do something everyone keeps telling you is crazy.⁣ ⁣ But this week I want to challenge your ambition a bit, are you REALLY doing everything you can to pursue your goals? Be honest with yourself, how much time did you spend scrolling the socials this week and watching Netflix vs working toward your online career dreams? 🤔🤔🤔⁣ ⁣ I know you probably have a day job, kids, a needy family member, and jam-packed schedule...but you are also a human. ⁣ ⁣ A human who gets stuck giving so much to everyone else or to what they think they ‘should’ be doing. 🙍‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Then suddenly wake up and realize “What am I doing with my life? This isn’t what I want!”⁣ ⁣ I know because otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. 😉⁣ ⁣ 💪💪💪So let’s kick this into high gear! 💪💪💪⁣ ⁣ What do you need in order to take the next step?⁣ ⁣ I don’t care if your bank account is at $0 right now, I have tons of free resources too so enough with the excuses and LET’S GO!! 🎉🎉🎉⁣ ⁣ Comment where you are stuck and I’ll link my amazing resources you need to get started in the comments ⬇️

You may have noticed I haven’t been posting very

You may have noticed I haven’t been posting very much (or maybe you haven’t, life is busy!) ⁣ ⁣ Well...I’ve kind of been in hiding the last few months and posting has felt too draining 😔 ⁣ ⁣ Over the fall 🍁 we had a lot of travel ✈️ and then I was super sick 😷 with double viruses and a medicine allergic reaction, then I got pregnant 🎉 but also really exhausted...⁣ ⁣ Then 10 weeks in, over 🎄 Christmas, I started to miscarry and am still not really over it 😔 My body dealt with the effects for several weeks and even now I still don’t have all of my energy back, plus emotionally it’s of course horrible. ⁣ ⁣ During my miscarriage we realized Ben and my passports have run out of pages and our visas were expiring in Bali so we had to emergency fly back to America to get new ones 😳 ⁣ ⁣ Except that a minor requires both parents signatures to renew and Bens birth Mom isn’t being cooperative or responsive and now it’s turning into a custody battle. ⁣ ⁣ So yeah, I’ve been a little MIA handling all of this. ⁣ ⁣ And no wonder I’m tired all the time 😅⁣ ⁣ But ya know what has helped immensely? ⁣ ⁣ Being able to earn an income from my laptop 👩🏼‍💻 ⁣ ⁣ Sick? Work in bed 🛏 ⁣ ⁣ Depressed? Work in bed 🛌 ⁣ ⁣ Passports expired? Work from airport ✈️ ⁣ ⁣ Stuck in America dealing with paperwork and custody drama? Work from...beach house! 🌊 ⁣ ⁣ Life happens. It’s nuts. But keeping your family afloat during times of trauma doesn’t have to be more traumatic 💻 ⁣ ⁣ What will be easier for you once you can work online? 👇🏼

It’s 3am and I’m googling long term places to

It’s 3am and I’m googling long term places to stay in random cities around America...⁣ ⁣ They aren’t entirely random I suppose...we chose Orlando 🐊 because we love Disney and ☀️ and Maine because it’s stunning and my family live there ⁣ (also🦞🦞🦞) ⁣ ⁣ We wrote down other cities and places in between we want to see...friends and historical locations. The list is growing. ⁣ ⁣ Most of it will be this “hunt” or test of where we want to settle long term. We can’t decide without spending more then a visit there. and ultimately want to invest in multiple hoAes and bounce between them as the weather changes. ⁣ ⁣ Imagine us, 30 something “snow birds” with our 9 year old and Ed 🐕 in tow 😂 ⁣ ⁣ After 3 years our time in Bali 🏝 is ending 😱 We miss our American family, friends, access to medications we can’t get in Indonesia, not having to leave every 2 months for visa renewals, my husband wants to pursue a career or school...we are ready for a change. ⁣ ⁣ It’s hard. I’ll miss it a lot and always consider it a second home. But it’s time.⁣ ⁣ We are currently stuck in America unable to renew Bens passport as we wait for special documents to be prepared...⁣ ⁣ Our travels around America to hunt for our future home(s?) may begin sooner then we bargained for! Stay tuned as this drama unfolds 😆⁣ ⁣ Thankful I started this laptop life when I did so these adventures can propel us wherever we want to go! 👩🏼‍💻 ✈️ ⁣ ⁣ If you could live anywhere, even more then one place, where would it be? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

✋🏼 questions to ask yourself if you want to w

✋🏼 questions to ask yourself if you want to work online in 2020 👩🏼‍💻⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ Do I have online work skills and a portfolio to show for it? 💻 ⁣ If the answer is no or “I don’t know?!” then start with my free class linked in my bio to get yourself informed and ready! 👆🏼⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ Is my resume remote ready? 📝 ⁣ If you are still using a Word doc with a built in template or the same ol one from high school then the answer is no. Check out my Remote Resume Blueprint in my stories to get yours perfected. ⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ Are my personal social media profiles optimized? 📲 ⁣ It’s an online job, they are checking ALL of those! A great picture and info sets you apart. Check my stories for a recent podcast episode on how to best do this.⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣ Do I know where to look for LEGIT online jobs?⁣ We email them out every week and I am always sharing awesome companies hiring! Check my stories for a few companies hiring right now and join our email list for a weekly fresh batch of jobs 😱 ⁣ ⁣ 5️⃣ Do I have the bandwidth for this? ⏰ ⁣ You can’t work full time from home with 5 kids at home. Can’t work 1 full time job and 1 full time job at home: the math in terms of your time just doesn’t add up! Figure out what WILL be feasible for you? 🤔 Plus consider how much time you need to carve out for applying to jobs every week. There’s only a 1 in 10 return just for hearing back (not even getting the job). So just like anything else worthwhile, changing your entire career is going to take some time and effort baby! ⁣ ⁣ Are you ready? How else can I help? 👇🏽
