About Hannah:

I'm an adventurer extraordinaire who empowers those with serious cases of wanderlust by teaching them how to capitalize on their existing skills in a digital environment as virtual assistants – so they can live a life without limits, traveling fearlessly and never having to think twice about paying extra for guacamole again. Over the last 7 years I have been journeying worldwide, I've done some pretty cool/weird stuff: *Learned how to be a dog musher in Austria *Had a gun pointed to my head in Laos *Worked as a perfume sprayer in New York *Nearly died on a raging river, also in Laos *Worked on a farm with moderately insane nudists in Slovenia *Come face to face with a wild orangutan in Sumatra *Hitchhiked through central Europe in freezing temps *Been accepted as part of the family in a Malaysian household *Hid from a hungry tiger in a tribal settlement in India Probably the most profound of all my experiences was when I visited home after many years and met my new co-founder who showed me that I could work online to support my nomadic lifestyle indefinitely. That was three years ago. Since then I have operated 2 online businesses, acted as an OBM for a few startups and became a full-time Virtual Assistant. I now know I will NEVER have to return to a 9-to-5, that I can live a life on my terms and more importantly, that you can too….and so was born Digital Nomad Kit. I'm not just able to offer you inspiring travel stories – I actually work my butt off daily to allow for a lifestyle like this. When you hire me or a VA trained by me, it's kinda like buying free range eggs over regular eggs. We're happier than the average VAs, we're free to roam, made of goodness and have happy lives – that affects our creativity, initiative and work ethics, naturally.

Most have us have been taught to go through the hustle and grind and be logical about our path to success. The reality is that taking a step back and listening, following and healing your heart will help you flow along your path to and through your business with ease.

Now, this won't make sense at first, but let Harriet Lanka take you on your first few steps (or remind you once again) that this is the only path to practice to ensure success. She has proven to increase her business even after running her brick and mortar business remotely. Imagine that! She physically stepped a way from her offline business and it grew. This is an episode to listen to and Harriet is a heart centered entrepreneur to emulate.

About Harriet:

From near death to living an activated life, I started my first business in 2001 in a 1 room massage office in Park City, Utah. Success and luck found me, because I showed up for the daily rituals that it took to make my business sacred space. A girl started a business and a business raised a woman. 13 years later, my spa & wellness center are the oldest & best in Park City, and I live with my shaman husband in Costa Rica, where I teach yoga and host healing soul cations for people who want to find their way. I have the same staff I've had since the beginning, and I'm teaching other spa owners the art of sacred space, so that they can attract long term therapists and clients.
