Today, I am recording this episode live in Bali and I am joined by my now dear friend, Lorna, who actually started off as one of my clients in the Digital Nomad Life Academy four years ago. She's gonna be telling us all about her third business that she has created since she stepped into her entrepreneur journey, which all began with the Digital Nomad Life Academy way back in the day. This week's episode is proof that you don't need to have it all figured out before you take the first step. When Lorna first found me, she was working as a scientist in Michigan, checking all the "right" boxes: college, corporate career, stability. But deep down, she couldn't shake the feeling that there had to be more. Fast forward a few years... Today she's living in Bali, gets paid to travel, runs a fully remote business, and has already built THREE different online businesses on her journey to becoming a digital nomad. And honestly? Her story is exactly why I always say your first business doesn't have to be your forever business. Sometimes it's simply the bridge that gets you to your dream life. In this episode, we talk about: Why quitting corporate felt terrifying—but staying felt even scarier How Lorna transitioned from scientist to digital nomad Building her first, second, and now third remote business Why you don't need years of experience to start an online business The mindset shifts that matter more than having the "perfect" skills Why sales isn't sleazy (and how it can actually change lives) What it's really like getting paid to travel while working remotely Why your dream life starts with saying yes before you feel completely ready How to know if you're actually ready to start a remote business If you've been dreaming about becoming a digital nomad, starting a remote business, or finally finding the courage to quit corporate, I hope this conversation reminds you that your dream life is probably much closer than you think.
