Common Mistakes to Avoid as a Location-Independent Entrepreneur

All Online Tools I use to run and scale my Location-Independent Business

Why 1:1 Offers won’t serve or scale your location independent business

The truth is, not every online business is set up for location independence. Some models simply aren’t built to handle constant travel or changes in time zones. Others rely heavily on in-person connections to create clients. A lot of it comes down to how you structure your business and offers.

On the other hand, some business models are tailor-made for digital nomads and expats, ensuring both your heart and wallet are full while serving your clients fully.

What does freedom mean to you?

And how do you keep your business finances organized? And oh no, how do you travel and enable yourself to receive money legally?

And most of all: Which TYPE of business is best suited for you? How can you start making money online? What is the most aligned way for YOU to grow and scale your online business? Let’s dive in. If there is something you’re looking for but can’t find, DM or email me and I’ll point you in the right direction.

I’m sharing my experience of 7+ years of working in the online business space: 

What started as a side hustle as a remote social media manager in Los Angeles has led to running independent orchestras in Germany, producing conferences and professional workshops in the USA, Austria, and France, supporting two professional coaches in growing and scaling their online coaching business in income and impact, and, well…to Way of the Founder. 

I’ve run my own online business for 5+ years. I started by coaching musician-entrepreneurs towards freedom and success. Over time, I branched out to work with entrepreneurs of all industries, having recognized the power of coaching as being something that transcends industries.

Finally, I found my true calling in Way of the Founder. The place through which I now have the honor of serving you. I hope the below articles spark new ideas, offer clarity and direction, and provoke some rather uncomfortable insights. Happy growing!

These days, I get to take two weeks off, and my te These days, I get to take two weeks off, and my team, automations, and systems will still deliver my clients value and me revenue. There are dips, yes, but I no longer have to show up to 15 weekly calls or else see a revenue drought. It took a few specific levers to make that change happen: 🤩HEALING my Money Mindset🤩 I was convinced that I had to sacrifice my health for my wealth. Working hard was non-negotiable. Once I learned to toss that belief, I was able to start charging for the transformation I offered-- not for the blood, sweat, and tears I put into it. 🤩HEALING my Wounds🤩 I’m talking father-wounds, mother-wounds, that grudge I held against my last boss, SA wounds—the whole lot. And this is ongoing work, but the less I subconsciously turn outside myself for love, the more I can speak my mind in my content, set boundaries with clients, and enter into life-changing business partnerships. 🛠️ 🤩STRUCTURE changes🤩 None of this will work on 1:1 offers alone. You’ve got to expand your business structure to include offers that don’t require your time (like, at all, once built). Offer diversification is a non-negotiable key to building a freedom business… unless you want to be chained to #FreedomBasedBusiness #DigitalNomadCoach #WorkFromAnywhere #BuildAFreedomBusiness #LaptopLifestyle #QuitThe9to5
When you first start your business, no one tells y When you first start your business, no one tells you this part: 👀 You’ll sit down to launch your podcast… 😱 and suddenly your voice shakes, because deep down, you're scared your mom would tear your message apart. 👀 You’ll undercharge your first clients… 😱 because even if you know your work is valuable, your dad’s voice still echoes: "Money is greedy. Be humble. Don’t ask for too much." 👀 You’ll avoid setting boundaries with clients… 😱 because underneath the “what if they leave me?” is a lifetime of being guilted for speaking your needs. 👀 You’ll refuse to delegate… 😱 because only you can do it perfectly, right? But really, your nervous system still thinks being perfect is the only way to stay safe. ❤️❤️ take a deep breath and save this for later ❤️❤️ Here’s the truth no one talks about: Building a business doesn’t just require strategy. It asks you to face every pattern, wound, and story you’ve ever internalized about who you’re allowed to be. 💔 And unless you face those demons... 💔 They’ll keep running the show. If you want to build a business that gives you true freedom, You have to unleash yourself from everything you were taught to be to survive. That’s what we do inside my self-paced course, Freedom Unleashed. Because this work? It’s not optional. If you don’t do it, the patterns will run your business — and your life. 💬 Comment “UNLEASH” if you’re ready to face what’s holding you back and I’ll get you signed up for the course at early bird price. You deserve more than just “making it work.” You deserve to feel free. 🫶🫶🫶 #TraumaInformedBusiness #HealToLead #BreakTheCycle #EmotionalEntrepreneur #SelfBeliefIsARevolution
You've been lied to about these 3 things: No. 1: You've been lied to about these 3 things: No. 1: The biggest lie business coaches tell you is that you can build a business in ten hours a week. LIES! 🙅‍♀️ You can sustain a successful business in that time, but not build it. 💯 When I first quit, I was grinding every single day — seven days a week, from my mom’s basement, eating snacks she’d lovingly shove on my desk. 🍩 The money will come, so will the time freedom... but it takes a shitload of discipline to get there. 💪 No. 2: You need a large audience to start making money. BS! 🚫 What you need is a killer offer and the courage to go out there and sell it. 🤑 Or as my client put it: “I tried to get rejected last night and ended up on a date.” 😂 SAME goes for clients. The more you put yourself out there, the more you’ll attract the right ones. No. 3: The flip side to all of this: If you’ve been at this for years, only have 1:1 clients, and STILL can’t comfortably pay your bills... You’ve got a STRUCTURE problem. ⚠️ While 1:1 is an explosive way to start, it’s NOT how you’ll sustain your business long-term. Start here: Look at the five things you repeat over and over again. Can you turn them into evergreen offers or at least systematize them? In summary: If you’re not seeing the time and financial freedom you’d hoped for, put on your detective hat 🕵️‍♀️ and assess: ✨ Are you putting in the WORK? ✨ Are you SELLING? ✨ Do you have one or multiple offers that your clients NEED? ✨ Are you still exchanging money for time, or VALUE for money? Need support? 🙋‍♀️ ● If you’re starting out and feel stuck, comment LEAP. ● If you’re stuck with 1:1 clients and ready to break free, comment TRAPPED. You’ve got this. Follow for daily messages of support, love, purpose, and kicks-in-the-booty to build your purpose-aligned, dream life. 🚀💞
Your vision isn't too big, and you're not 'not eno Your vision isn't too big, and you're not 'not enough'. I promise! All it takes is a better understanding of WHO you need to become to truly fulfill your vision. Once we have this in place, we want to look at WHAT you'll need to become that version of yourself. And then, finally, we get to look at HOW to get there: your strategy, and your month-to-month goals. With these three things in place: 🌟 Overwhelm will make way for being in the zone ⏳ Keeping busy will make way for spending your days hyper-efficiently, taking one small step toward your goals every day 🎯 Falling prey to one-size-fits-all shiny promises makes way for knowing EXACTLY what type of support you want—and getting it, no questions asked We're not here to just drink coconuts at the beach and go to 10am yoga classes. We're here to go to yoga at 7am, and seize the rest of the day with vision, clarity, and a fire under our a**es 🔥 while drinking coconuts! 🥥 So, if you're ready to Embody your vision, Expand your vision, and create a Pathway towards your vision, comment VISION and I'll get you the link to sign up for free! #vision #purpose #freedomcoach
Whenever we blaze the trail out of autopilot emplo Whenever we blaze the trail out of autopilot employment and into freedom entrepreneurship, we tend to only unhook our lives on the outside: 👉🏼 We replace a steady paycheck with temporarily unsteady revenue. 👉🏼 We replace a sickening boss with endless hours working for ourselves. 👉🏼 Our commute shrinks from hours in LA traffic to one minute from bed to desk. 👉🏼 We trade working on someone else’s dream to pursue our own… …Except… ‼️ We’ve not actually forgiven that boss—and so we avoid lucrative business partnerships. ‼️ We’ve not effectively updated the belief that success comes from hard work—and so we price our offers based on time spent instead of value provided. ‼️ Our belief that money is the villain walked right out of the office and into our business—and so we can’t hold on to the money we make. ‼️ And yeah—we still want to be loved.

I know this stinks, but chances are that you heard I know this stinks, but chances are that you heard things like: 😒Money is evil. 😒You can’t have money unless you were born into money. 😒You need to marry rich. 😒Security over wealth. Left unexamined, these thoughts are running the show in your business. ‼️ We need to heal that shit so that we can build the businesses and lives we dream of. Here’s where to begin: awareness: 1️⃣What did you learn about money growing up. 2️⃣Where might this show up in how you handle business? And if you don’t like the answer, let’s get to turning these limiting beliefs (and all the resentment, hurt, anger, and limiting beliefs around success) into fuel for your business growth. Honestly, this inner work is often overlooked, but it’s the missing key to unleashing your actual potential as an entrepreneur. I’ve put together a course that allows you to work through these inner blocks in your own time, from the comfort of your home, without having to share any of what’s going on, Freedom Unleshed, to help you with this. This is especially great if you don’t want to plug into 1:1 coaching. 💬 “UNLEASHED” and I’ll send you the details (psst: we’re still in pre-sale until the end of the weekend, so you get $200 off.)
So your launch flopped.
So what?! Now you’re a So your launch flopped.
So what?! Now you’re a failure, you say?
This must mean you’re not good enough?
 Notice: 👉🏼You gave the failed launch a meaning.
👉🏼 You projected your self-beliefs onto an external event.
👉🏼 You decided that you are a failure. You’re making the launch (an objective thing) mean something (subjective): I’m not worthy, I’m stupid, I don’t have what it takes… No messaging hack or content strategy will transmute these beliefs. But do you know what will? ‼️A radical shift in how you relate to yourself.‼️ Because only when you approach your business from a place of self love, a place of forgiveness, with a de-conditioned mind, and with compassion, will your messaging be magnetizing and the transformation you offer undeniable. 👉🏻That’s what we do inside Freedom Unleashed. It’s not just another business course.
It’s a healing space.
 By the end, you’ll: 🫶Turn your wounds into wisdom—and clarity into cash. 🫶Understand why your business triggers-and clear that shit. 🫶Stop outsourcing your worth to clients. 🫶Redefine success on your own damn terms. 🫶Alchemize your deepest blocks (yes, even the parental ones) into gold for your business. This is for the version of you who’s done performing, proving, and so over spiraling after a “bad” launch. 💬 “UNLEASH” to get in before prices go up b $100. With loving, Dina
