Episode 88: Living & Working Abroad Through Imperfect Action [featuring Marina O’Connor]

33 minutes

Many entrepreneurs romanticize and fantasize about the idea of leaving everything behind to move to another country and work remotely.

It can seem like the adventure of a lifetime, and it might be, but there is more to it than just moving to your location with a laptop in hand.

Like all big changes, there are good and bad things, risks and wins, and ebbs and flows.

If you are thinking about moving your life and business to another country, or if you have in mind some big business plans or projects in general, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk with Marina O’Connor, a psychotherapist living in Portugal, virtual practice owner, mom, and rally car driver.

Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:

Understand what it's like to live internationally, move around between many cultures and countries, and run a virtual psychotherapy practice while being a parent.

See the ways that intergenerational trauma can impact the way you view business ownership and success.

Learn how risk and failure can be a strength in entrepreneurship, as well as how you can create and be successful even when the vision isn't clear and the plans aren't perfect.

Big changes and bold moves can mean redoing and restructuring everything you've built before, and it can push you out of your comfort zone. However, it can also be rewarding and exciting, and take you places you could only dream about before.

If you ever get stuck, what really matters isn't that you have it all figured out, it's that you need to just believe that YOU are the person to do what it is that you want to do.
