How to build a business while traveling the world

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about home and how we personally define it.

I've always been a gypsy at heart and have the desire to travel around the world while running my business. World Schooling my daughter for a year is a definite bucket list item.

What might hold you back from exploring the world and letting home be wherever your heart leads you?

So often we get caught up in worrying about tomorrow, that we don’t give ourselves the opportunity to live today.

On the Lead with Love podcast I explore the heart of wanderlust and what it means to build an accidental business around a desire to travel the world.

In this episode, I get cozy with New York Times bestselling author, Matt Kepnes.

Building a Business While Traveling the World

I started this business because I wanted to simply travel. I had no bigger goal than that.
