Technology and the pandemic have changed society as we knew it – ushering in a time of unpredictability and flux. Change is here, causing many people to shift their priorities, question their roles in society, and re-design their plans in life. If you've been questioning if "the system" is working for you while struggling to redefine your dreams and goals while finding new ways to support yourself, you're not alone. Fortunately, the tools now exist for you to not only learn how to not only get by, but to thrive by leveraging and monetizing your unique passions and strengths. This episode of Badass Digital Nomads is about how your personal story and expertise can be key in succeeding in the remote economy. Listen for tips on figuring out which remote jobs best suit you and your skills, how to face the challenges of shifting to full-time remote work, and the many opportunities that come from being a content creator and digital nomad. I also offer advice on how to help more people with less work (especially if you're a coach) and how to differentiate yourself from other content creators. Do you want to create a personal brand, expand your personal network, hone your skills, and experience more creative and financial freedom? Tune in to learn why now is the best opportunity to create and monetize your personal brand and how to take the first steps – whether you're an employee, freelancer, or entrepreneur.
