One year after joining the Tandem Nomads team, Lillian Small tells us about her reinvention journey from chemical engineer to expat partner and now, a digital marketer. In pure authenticity, she generously shares how she is experiencing this journey while still on it and the obstacles she sometimes faces as she is in the early stages of launching her portable business. “It’s when time flew by quickly while working at it that I knew this is what I really want to do with my business.” This is a great conversation where we discuss how to deal with the fear of failure and some advice from my experience as I started my own business and had to deal with similar challenges. “I felt like an imposter at the beginning until I realized that I was good at it and enjoyed it.” Lillian was born in Toronto Canada to Portuguese parents. After finishing her studies in Chemical Engineering program, she started working at a refinery near her home while in a long-distance relationship with her future husband, a TCK. After a few years working in Canada, her husband had the opportunity to move to Paris with his company so they sold their house, packed up their cat and started the adventure in 2013. She started a blog called The Smalls Abroad to document their experiences and focused on discovering other passions. While she didn’t try to work fulltime, she learned French, took cooking courses, taught English, coached at a gym, managed an Airbnb apartment and was the social media manager for a design agency. It was this last experience that prompted her to enroll in a Masters of Digital Marketing when she and her husband moved to Aberdeen, Scotland. Today, she’s just graduated and is starting her own freelance business. Highlights from the episode What Lillian did to reinvent her career from engineering to digital marketing How she realized that this is what she wanted to do Why fear is sometimes holding her back What helped her test the grounds and start her business How she learned to gain confidence What she does to get out of her comfort zone Lillian’s Resources Eventbrite (http://eventbrite.com) for finding networking and business events in your local area Meetup.com (http://meetup.com) to find other like-minded people in your local area Local Chamber of Commerce for business resources Favourite business-related podcasts: How I Built This, Goal Digger with Jenna Kutcher, The Marie Forleo Podcast Find Lillian Online Business website: www.lilliansmall.com (http://www.lilliansmall.com) Personal blog: The Smalls Abroad (http://www.thesmallsabroad.com) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lillianvsmall/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lillianvsmall/) If you’re starting out your own freelance journey, listen to episode 61 with Emily McGee on how to start and grow a freelance business.

The beauty of freelancing is the freedom it affords you to set your own schedule, and for busy moms, that is a necessity. But taking care of kiddos is a full-time job in and of itself, so how do you carve out the time to write your blog, for example? And how do you make decisions about what really HAS to be done? Emily McGee is the founder of My Adaptable Career, an online business that advises freelancers and solopreneurs on best business practices and intentional business growth via innovative time management solutions. She works specifically with moms looking to monetize their blogs and avoid returning to a nine-to-five. Emily began her career as an English teacher before her husband’s job took them overseas. It was then that she began freelance writing in the education sphere, finally niching down to curriculum development. In January of 2016, she founded My Adaptable Career to offer general advice to other freelancers before finding her expertise in time management. Today Emily shares her best ideas for juggling business and baby, how she handles ‘mom guilt,’ and why freelancing is a good fit for stay-at-home parents! Key Takeaways The benefits of niching down Make more money More offers, including repeat clients Why focusing on a particular industry makes you a better prospect Known as go-to writer for specific content (i.e.: standardized test questions for middle/high school language arts) Why Emily made the shift to blogging As freelancer, still answered to ‘boss’ Having own business affords complete control How Emily made the transition from freelancing to blogging Balanced both for a year (blog not generating income) Researched entrepreneurship, chose full-time blogging as calculated risk Views freelancing as safety net to return to if necessary Emily’s target audience Moms looking to monetize their blogs Parents struggling with time management (running household and blogging) Emily’s advice for juggling business and baby Minimize your expectations Limit your ‘stuff’ Prioritize (What really HAS to be done?) Let go of perfection Get clear on your goals Say ‘no’ to anything that’s not going to get you there How to handle ‘mom guilt’ Remember that social media is a cultivated image of other’s lives and avoid making comparisons At the end of the day, you only have to answer to yourself and your family Why freelancing is a good compromise for new moms Allows you to maintain identity outside of being a mom Doesn’t require being away from children for full-time work How Emily carves out time to work Three-year-old daughter attends preschool, plays by herself Four-month-old son naps Eliminate other hobbies (e.g.: television) Emily’s greatest challenge as a business owner Mindset – allowing doubt to hold back Emily’s #1 tip for aspiring business owners Take the plunge Now is your time!

Freelancing is one of the best ways for expat partners to earn income, find flexibility and build a portable career. I interview in this episode an expert in the field, Emily McGee to bring you some great tips and advice on how to start and grow a freelance business. She shares her story on building sustainable business while moving from one country to another as an expat spouse. “I found freelancing such a great way to keep taking care of my family, find flexibility and build my own identity beyond my husband.” Emily started her career as a teacher. She met her husband when they were both Peace Corps volunteers in the South Pacific. She quit her first teaching job to follow her husband to various states of the US and then to Nairobi, Kenya. By the time Emily arrived in Nairobi, she realized one big fact we all can relate to: she couldn’t keep looking for a new job and then quit every time they moved to a new place. She needed a job that was portable and flexible. So, she started doing freelance writing and found success. As she gained experience and knowledge about freelancing, she found her niche and focused on just writing standardized educational test questions. Say yes! If they are going to take a chance on you. Take a chance on yourself. Since her successful experience in Nairobi, she went back to the US where she took her freelancing business with her. Today, Emily lives in Maputo, Mozambique and continues to freelance. She is also now helping other freelancers who want to build, as she calls it, an Adaptable Career. (http://myadaptablecareer.com) She provides them with the guidance and knowledge they need to grow their business while keeping a sane quality of life. Don’t miss the one thing Emily thinks is the key to success in a building a successful freelance business! Some of Emily’s tips in this episode: Start with signing up on freelancing platforms to find clients (like Upwork). Define your niche and where you can bring value (Visit the Tandem Nomads blog for more tips (https://tandemnomads.com/blog/tip-2-to-kick-off-your-portable-plan/) ). Pitch to clients and show them you understand their unique problem and know how to fix it. Learn from feedback and remain confident despite rejections.

Emily set herself up as a location-independent freelance writer so she’d be ready to go anywhere her husband's job might take them, and they’re currently living in Maputo, Mozambique, with their two-year-old daughter (and another baby on the way!). Although she considers herself a digital nomad by circumstance, not by choice, Emily loves living overseas and working remotely.
