“I’ll Never Go Back to a 9-5 Existence”

BETSY

If you have a laptop and a desire to change your life, our friend, Nicole Connelly, is on a mission to help! Here’s her story:

For several years, I owned and ran a successful day spa. I had a beautiful home and yard complete with the white picket fence. I had my amazing husband and a picture-perfect life. I also worked 70 hours every week including weekends, came home exhausted every night. . . and basically felt completely unfulfilled with what I was doing. I loved my four weeks of vacation every year but it wasn’t enough, and when it was time for the return trip home I came begrudgingly.

For many years, I did the 9-5 thing and for many years I felt somehow stunted and stagnant. I had this incredible life but it felt empty. I was a mere shell of the person I really wanted to be and I knew I had to change. . . everything.

My first overseas trip over a decade ago landed me on the gorgeous island of Fiji. I was eating exotic food, meeting intriguing people, and living a life I had only dreamed of until then. As the time approached to go back home, back to our same routines, back to scrounging savings for our next vacation, I started to really question, “Why?”

The more I thought about it the more I knew: I wanted travel to be a much larger part of my life. I wanted more; I needed more. Not only did I crave cultural experiences and new adventures, but also I felt like I simply might suffocate if I didn’t allow myself to truly breathe. To truly live.

I started researching all the costs involved with long-term travel. I looked into where we could live and for how long. How would we work to have money for food? Sure we had our little savings account but that wouldn’t last long on its own. And what about other expenses incurred or what if one of us got sick or injured?

And then I had to think about money long term. Once our savings ran out what would we do for money? Would it be possible to earn money online so I could work while I traveled? I’d heard stories about people building huge businesses online, but could it actually happen? There was a lot to think about but I was determined to find out one way or another if living my dream was possible.

Obviously, it was possible because here I am wearing my pajamas, clicking away on my laptop sharing my story with you. And did I mention I am in the Bahamas?

Oh, the things I have seen on my journey over the last 4 years! I have been to 45 countries all over the world. I’ve seen beaches with every shade of sand and seas of gorgeous greens and hues of blue. I’ve slept in the most luxurious beds you can imagine and feasted on room service. I could write a book on just the variety of food I’ve eaten!

I’m not telling you this to rub it in your face or somehow show superiority. On the contrary! I’m here to tell you I have been in your shoes. I have been beaten, bored and bungled to the point of not even caring anymore. I have failed at many things, too! But that is all behind me now, and it can be for you, too. You can make your own dreams come true. Live the life you dream of! There’s absolutely no reason not to and there’s really nothing stopping you. With my help, you can live your life for you and truly be happy.

Of course, this is all possible because of my online business. Without it, I would still be stuck in my 9-5 existence, living a life unfulfilled. In the age of technology and the internet it is truly possible to work from anywhere in the world! If you have dreams of building your own online empire I have great news for you: it’s totally possible!! You just need someone to show you the way so you can start your business on the right foot.
