    110) How to Set the Price For Your Offer and Make More Money in Your Online Business

    Today’s episode is for any entrepreneur out there who has already started their digital nomad business, but isn’t quite sure what to charge their clients. I’m here to help you come up with a price that you feel really good about—a price that makes you feel well compensated for what you’re doing, but also feels fair.  But I am guessing you might be feeling resistance or even imposter syndrome when it comes to charging the price you want. Or maybe you’ve been pricing your offer based on “inflation,” or because “you’re worth it,” or simply because “that’s what my competition charges.” Today, I’m going to show you exactly what I teach my clients inside the Digital Nomad Life Academy, how to price your offer with intention, clarity, and zero imposter syndrome. What We Cover The two BIG questions that determine your priceWhy pricing is an ENERGY exercise, not a math equationHow your money mindset is quietly sabotaging your incomeWhy your clients WILL find money when they believe your offer is actually worth itWhy market research matters WAY more than competitor researchThe real reason most early-stage entrepreneurs struggle to charge high-ticketResources Mentioned Check out Episode 49 next:  “How Your Money Mindset Will Dictate Your Success as a Digital Nomad” Great next episode,  if you’ve ever felt weird about charging money, receiving money, or wanting more money.

    108) The AI Wake-Up Call: Save Yourself, Start Your Business and Take Back Your Time

    Hate to break it to you, but AI isn’t going anywhere , but your job might. In today’s episode, I want to teach you how and why you need to save yourself. We’re diving into how AI can fit into your business, how to protect your time, and how to start building your freedom. Technology is evolving fast, but you get to choose how you live your life. Lately, I’ve had a massive wake-up call with technology,  both the rise of AI and my own screen-time addiction (I know you’re probably addicted too). I want to talk about how these shifts are impacting remote work, our attention spans, and most importantly, our freedom — financial, location, and emotional,  in a world that’s changing faster than ever. If you’ve ever felt like tech is taking over your life (or maybe even your career), this is your wake-up call. Today we will dive into: How many years of my life I realized I’d lose to my social media  addictionHow AI is reshaping remote work and why corporate employees are the most vulnerableWhy now is the time to start your own online business or side hustle (and how to use AI to your advantage)My “social media nutrition” metaphor that’ll forever change how you think about screen timeThe #1 app that helped me take back my life (and how you can use it too)Real talk about loneliness, connection, and how to stop using tech as a mask for your real feelings🔗 Resources & Mentions App: Be Present — the screen-time app I swear by Listen next: [Episode 33: My Career Assessment Process] — for a deeper dive into discovering your next remote-ready careerDM me on Instagram @christabellatravels with the word “apply” to explore working with me 1:1 Or message “RRR” to book your free Remote Readiness Rating call with my team and find out how ready you are to launch your remote career AI, digital nomad, remote work, start your own business, online business, location independence, career coach, Christa Bella Travels, Digital Nomad Life Podcast, Be Present app, screen time, entrepreneurship, freedom lifestyle Send us a text 🎧 Ready to take action?

    107) How Reverse Culture Shock Maybe Your Wake-Up Call to Move Abroad

    Today I want to talk to those who are truly not resonating with the country that you were born in and how you are not stuck and you CAN move abroad. There is another way to live life. The is another way to not be part of a  system that, that you were born into, but you didn't really actually have consent to. If you wanna be part of a different system, if you wanna go to a culture that has values that are more aligned with who you are as a person, you can.  But here's the thing, unless you are a multimillionaire or someone with a trust fund. You are gonna need an income if you wanna survive in another country. So how do you have an income in another culture? That is what I want to teach you today and what I teach in my academy, the Digital Nomad Life Academy.  If you’ve ever thought:   “I’m over this system.”   “I want to move abroad but don’t know how.”  “Is remote work or digital nomad life actually realistic?”  This episodes is for you.  We talk about today:  What reverse culture shock actually means (and why it hits so hard).The hidden ways U.S. culture shapes your beliefs about safety, success, and “normal life.”Why you don’t have to stay in the U.S. — and how living abroad can realign your values.How to create an online business that funds your freedom Step-by-step ways to take action — even if you have zero experience with remote work. DM @christabellatravels the keywords below: Podcast – to start a chat with MeMasterclass – to watch my free training: How to Get Started as a Digital Nomad.RRR – to get your Remote Readiness Rating and find out how close you are to your dream life. key points: culture shock, reverse culture shock, leave the US, move abroad, remote work, digital nomad, living in Bali, how to move abroad, digital nomad business, online income, work from anywhere Send us a text 🎧 Ready to take action?

    Recently, I’ve been having an identity crisis around my business, and you may have seen me talk about it on my social media @christabellatravels. Today, I wanted to make this episode for anyone who is currently going through an identity crisis and to let you in on what’s been going on in my world. If you have a business — maybe you’re a freelancer, a content creator, or one of my clients who has gone through the Digital Nomad Life Academy — I think my story today will resonate with you. And maybe, you’ll even learn something that helps you ride the wave if you ever find yourself in the midst of your own identity crisis.
