Lynn is a 24-year-old location independent worker with a passion for traveling the world, living life to the fullest, and doing things outside her comfort zone. She has wanted to work and travel for basically her whole life, but didn’t know how to make that a reality until she heard about the concept of being a “digital nomad” in July 2017. She immediately went to work making this lifestyle a reality, and within 30 days landed multiple remote jobs and booked a one-way ticket to Thailand. She started out doing social media marketing for online entrepreneurs, doing travel writing for a digital marketing agency, and teaching English online. Now, she works on a completely remote team for a tech company called Noom, a popular health + fitness app and wellness program. She also hosts her own podcast called Chasing the Freedom, where she interviews millennial women who have created location independent lifestyles. 

Here are some other things I learned from Lynn today… 

Get mentors. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, and don’t be afraid to invest money in it either. I can only imagine how much more successful my first year of business must have been if I had only had the common sense to work with a business coach. I remember I had so much energy, and I was so determined to make this business work, but I was headed in the wrong direction like 90% of the time. This is an example of when a reckless entrepreneur may need to check themselves and find someone to help them figure out where they should be channeling their energy in order to actually see results. 

Confidence is something you build over time. I really appreciate how willing Lynn is to be open about the times in her life when she doubted herself, because everyone has to deal with self-doubt and fear, and the only way to deal with fear is to just take it with you. We aren’t ever going to completely demolish fear, but we can take action despite it. 

Get clear about who you want to be long-term, but try and let go of the details of how exactly you are going to get there. It’s impossible to predict exactly how your life will unfold, but you can absolutely hold a vision for your life and manifest that vision, as long as you remain open to different avenues of achieving your goals.
