Living in Chiang Mai gives me such great opportunities for meeting other digital nomads and location-independent entrepreneurs, and one person I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know recently is Amy Scott, founder and owner of Nomadtopia.
In 2004, Amy quit her office job to travel the world, and has never looked back. She now keeps a home base in Buenos Aires while she and her Argentine husband travel the world. Nomadtopia is not only packed with great info on the diginomad lifestyle, it’s also a virtual community where location-independent entrepreneurs around the world can share their inspiring stories and provide mutual support.
Through her other business, Nomad Editorial, Amy helps non-fiction writers finish their books. Amy also offers a six-week program, ‘Create Your Nomadtopia’, designed to help entrepreneurs start unplugging their businesses and their lives from their physical locale.
Amy and I sit down to talk about the nitty gritty of the location-independent lifestyle – the good, the bad, and the brilliant. Now, location-independence doesn’t mean that you are constantly on the road, it just means that you can work from home, or anywhere – you choose. The truth is, the diginomad lifestyle really isn’t for everyone, but everyone can certainly benefit from more flexibility and freedom. So, in this episode, you’ll discover:
How to transition from regular employment to being a location-independent entrepreneur.
Important things to consider before quitting your fixed-locale lifestyle.
The secret of identifying target customers, and how get your first clients.
Strategies to keep your message out there so you don’t miss out on potential work.
The pros & cons of being a digital nomad, and how to avoid feeling isolated.
How to deal with business institutions that require you have a residential mailing address, and ways to get around this annoying formality.
How to determine if the digital nomad lifestyle is truly right for you.
