Feb 22nd, 2013. I, a newly single mom, and my teething 6-month-old, Indian train, his favorite blanket, and my favorite scarf, just weeks after we left home to travel full time (we still haven't made it home, by the way).
I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure I didn't have more than $100 in my bank account. So why did we leave home?
π
ββοΈ We just couldn't do life in Europe anymore. I couldn't do the 9-5 and have someone else watch Frankie grow up. And even if I did, if I was to have that other person watching him, I'd have to pick up a second job for us to be able to survive. Cue, the second nanny. Can you see where this is going?
π©βπ»πΌ π§ββοΈ Not even 6 months into this wild cycle of me working, pumping milk, never getting to spend time with my child, not eating properly, and not having enough time to get a full night's sleep, I was tired, frustrated, and depressed.
βοΈ One particularly cold winter evening I was reaching for a sweater that was stashed on the top shelf in my wardrobe. Suddenly, a travel backpack that was nested over the sweater fell right on my head.
That was the tipping point. I was done. Something had to change.
βοΈ I booked the cheapest one-way ticket to any place I knew we could make a living from just renting out our place. And that just happened to be India.
ποΈ Life was really good for a while. We had just enough money to feed ourselves, keep a roof over our heads and get the occasional ice cream and frozen coffee, but we also had all the time to explore the world on our own terms. To smell the eucalyptus on our evening scooter rides, to stop and count the pebbles on a sidewalk, to play with a puddle, or get fresh mango juice π₯
πΈ But as Frankie grew bigger, so did my need for more financial stability and freedom. As a teacher, I naturally decided to do what I know how. But with a toddler by my side, always on the move, and often an unreliable internet connection in the jungles of Laos, Vietnam, or Myanmar, trading time for money was a pretty frustrating experience.
π‘ And this is how I launched my first online course, and then another, until I became really good at it...
And that is how the 6 Day Course Program came to be β¨
My turn-key solution to launching a profitable online course in days.
How is this even possible you ask? π€·ββοΈ
It's all about knowing where to turn that eagle eye focus during the course creation journey, and how to leave all the fluff and noise behind. That comes from years and years of experience - as a teacher, an entrepreneur, a CEO, and a busy single mom with big dreams.
It's been 10 years of the most beautiful life for us - traveling the world, living our lives to the fullest, and being able to have the wildest experiences. I wanna pay this goodness forward.
I'm putting online a free class, where you can take notes, copy my step-by-step sequence, and have your course launched by this time next week. π 6daycourse.com/free-class-april β¨
I was just thinking, if I could tell that new, overwhelmed single mom in that photo that is me anything, I would say "Just trust the process. Accept what life gives you and the rest will figure itself out".
