Dianni also discusses her transition into freelance podcast production and offers valuable resources for aspiring digital nomads and queer travelers.

Talking with Hannah, I quickly learned how passionate she feels about niching down, because it's simpler to become an authority on one area than all of them. By focusing on one of your interests as a virtual assistant specialty not only do you get to dig in on what you enjoy, you add value to what you offer clients. It's basically getting paid more (specialists often earn higher rates) to learn about something you're already interested in. This is a tip I'm taking to heart and I wanted to make doubly sure you saw it. Hannah created short videos addressing common questions, and when group members would ask she would only have to share the link, instead of writing an answer, again and again. Not only does this mean less work for you, but it helps you get precise in your language when talking about your work, to get your point across in the couple of minutes you've got someone's attention for a video. When first building her course, Hannah quickly found out that she needed more time to fully deliver her work. Instead of hiding, she reached out to her students and explained the situation. By offering either a refund or additional consultation time with them, she managed to keep all her clients and give them exactly what she promised, in a somewhat extended time frame. Those clients are some of her strongest supporters. Honesty builds trust, like nothing else. For full links and show notes, visit compasspod.com/036

Shannon Whaley Traveling Wildwoman! Women's business and marketing coach - works with passionate and driven service based entrepreneurs, taking side gigs and turning them into sustainable businesses. Lisa gets sidetracked to begin with, forgets to eat and then buys a really expensive salad. Has been doing this for a while, but has kind of changed and morphed all along. Just broke up with 3 year boyfriend, and is moving to Italy. Longest relationship except cats, who are living with her mom. She thinks a lot of people start coaching to live wherever they want. Hannah Dixon (listen to the episode with Hanna here) Location independent. Danielle LaPorte - amazing author on figuring out what you want to feel, to be the person you want to be. Shannon's core desired feelings: ease, passion, freedom, adventure. (I use these when I'm making decisions, will they get me closer or father away from my mission?) Intuitive feelings with excitement or trepidation "don't do this!" "Now that I'm sober, I have more access to those feelings." - Shannon "I have a feeling, I don't know how often I listen to my intuition" - Lisa Met boyfriend long before they got together, she was a cocktail waitress in Seattle, he was a DD for his friends. 2013 - Left Seattle and moving to San Diego to be a hairstylist, but also had to be a waitress to support her growing hair business. But really didn't want to do the same thing she was doing in Seattle. Was invited to Cayman Islands by boyfriend to visit, and moved there because she wanted to do something different. Her boyfriend was already sober, she knew she was done and needed a clean start. "of course I was that girl and came home wasted" - Shannon When did you discover that you could make money online? The Pathfinder, Nicholas Lore Started looking at what was possible for her, yoga teacher, coach... Coach! Had gone to Tony Robbins events, and used to be a counselor and has a degree in psychology, and thought "That would be a perfect way to use my degree and help people" And I could help anyone anywhere in the world. "Everything I wanted when I graduated from college, but didn't know how to access" - Shannon Working with women in crisis, vs. making themselves better. She's taken two coach trainings, Institute for life coach training, inner glow circle. Becoming an assistant trainer so she can be a coach trainer. Has a one-on-one clientele and a group class starting in April. Has a retreat coming up in Italy in June. Who is coming to you? Coaches. I've helped a man start a fishing charter business, "It transcends industries, but I prefer working with women and coaches." Where do you start? Work on getting legal first. (terms, disclaimers, permits, licences) Work on money "I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever figure it out" - Lisa "We are all doing it over and over again, and it shows up in a different outfit every time"- Lisa Profit First by Mike Michalowicz Working with a money strategist coach - Carrie Fry Williams You want two checking accounts. All business money goes into business checking. All personal money goes into personal checking. two savings one is profit / one is taxes All business money goes in to business checking, and pay myself twice a month from there.   My first business basically shut down, so I've launched a new one! Now, 50% of what I make goes to me personally. - Shannon "It's so common with entrepreneurs, they pay themselves last." - Shannon I help women make their business sustainable. - Shannon In the Cayman Islands, you need business partners. I didn't' know what I was doing, and they ended up pulling out because of that. We have a gift, and our strong points aren't business related. This isn't natural for me. I don't want to be like my dad, and I don''t want my daughter to have to take care of me. - Lisa Shannon "Needed support because I felt lost" There are so many horror stories about people handing their money over to someone and getting stolen from. "I'd rather be in my zone, and hire this out" - Shannon "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing to make money" -Lisa "It's my sugar daddy, it pays for me and the cat, and my 30 year old daughter-not really" -Lisa I want to show women that it's okay to be human. I don't want to do stand up anymore, but I want to go speak, and inspire women through my comedy. I want to journey with them. That's how I want to make my money, plus it's location independent. I know there are things that I'm supposed to be doing... Visit Shannon's website, and sign up for the free gift!

  Hannah Dixon - Digital Nomad (Links coming soon!)  She's currently in Hanoi, although based out of Bangkok. Sardinia, Sicily, Budapest... I want to live your life" - Lisa I think the pros outweigh the cons for sure." - Hannah The digital nomad community is incredible everywhere. They do meet ups for dinner and drinks and such. Hannah is a virtual assistant but is now training other virtual assistants. She's been a VA for three years, and on the road for the last 8 years. She worked at a husky dog center, a farm in Italy, mostly bars and farms. "I think we forget how privileged we are when we just want to "get out of here""- Hannah Why are you moving again? "I don't have a home"- Hannah Do you get sick? Yes I'm a bit more sensitive to that. What's the first thing you tell people who want to transition to this lifestyle? Take your laptop and work on the other side of town all day. If you can do that, then you kind of have an indication already if you can do this thing. Take smaller trips. Go to a different city in your country for a month. You have a lot of things you have to change all the time. You can't be sentimental about stuff anymore. Hannah is from London, UK, and she'll stop home about once a year in October for her parents and her birthday. What made you decide to do this? I guess I was travelling already, I knew this nomadic lifestyle was for me. I never even considered working online, I was a farm girl. Past partner taught her how. "I know it doesn't just happen-but it does!" - Lisa Working online, it's so important to have these communities online. (insert communities) "It's like another family, and I'm not even on the road" - Lisa What's the best place you've been to? Budapest! (she confirms the food is great!) Low cost of living, and being an introvert, the people aren't going to chat you up a lot. Outdoor baths and autonomy. Who do you follow? Who do you think is really cool that's doing what you're doing? Natty and Jodie - the house sitting academy The had a business in Dubai that went really wrong but they're kind of house sitting extraordinaire so they decided to teach people how! They teach you how to make sure that you're selected for sought after sits. An online community with referrals. They don't pay you and you don't pay them. "I usually save a bunch of money and plan a two week trip, but I think I want something else now" - Lisa It's actually very much up to you "You just need your first months rent and a plane ticket" - Hannah Flight stein - a subscription that finds you the best price flights Nomad Fly - flight hacking course saving $100s and $100s Having a boyfriend / dating. What if you have a partner that's in a stable job? Should you just date nomads? No real solution, but this lifestyle is becoming more normal, so we're still looking for solutions. Did it get more addicting as you did it? Yes, after becoming a digital nomad. You meet people who tell you about amazing places and you "Get a bit of jealousy, I want to go there!" - Hannah "There's a whole different life out there" - Lisa You're really chasing WiFi, right?" - Lisa Nomad list - a resource for checking places out, i.e. is it safe/female friendly/wifi/cost of living Are there people in their 40's and 50's? Oh yeah! Way older than that too! What if I'm seasick the whole time?" Lisa on sailing around the world on a boat. Co-boat - co working co living sailboat that goes around the world for digital nomads! One of the big issues with traveling a lot is Visas. Always having to do visa runs. Counting down the days having to rush places. "I have a year lease on my apartment but I can't be in the country for more than two months at a time. Have to get on a plane and leave." - Hannah I could have just flown out for a day and back, but it's cheap so I figured I'd visit. Worst place? I've been to many places where the other people haven't liked it, but i'm very easy going and I realize " that's the way they do that here" Sicily- More run down than anywhere and very corrupt system. Getting ripped off all the time. Little Mafia towns. Alcomo? "Really run down with dead cats on the street, okay I'm good" - Lisa "I walked up to my hostel, and there's a man shaving a cat on the doorstep. Luckily I gave it a chance" - Hannah Everything in Vietnam is a mild inconvenience, things just don't work the same. Airbnb gives refunds if it isn't at all what you expected! BTBY event in New York, not LA. "It's the new year, I wanted to put out into the world...this is my plan!" - Lisa If you're thinking that you can't do it, here's a little sheet that helps pinpoint how you can do this digitally. This is from my course. "Identify what you're doing in your traditional job and how you can take that online" - Hannah "There's nothing wrong with keeping a home base." - Hannah You can rent it out with airbnb while you're not there, and make money, you can also plan around when you need to be home. How cheap is it? How much are you paying to sleep? Air bnb is expensive because it's not long term. $180 for the week, which is pricey for the area. $70 is local style, "I opt for the western style toilets and showers"- Hannah Long term, $350/month in Bangkok, water bill is .40/month. Share it with someone, it has a gym and a pool - and this is the more expensive side. Airbnb is great because it helps you test it out. Facebook group where people talk about all this stuff. VA-a personal assistant online, and the scope is even more. (website, answering emails...) "I don't call anywhere home, which people find really strange." - Hannah "I don't need a place to call home when I know that the world is mine" - Hannah What about medical insurance? "The only issue is in the US. Medical care is cheap or free anywhere else" - Hannah The only time when she buys insurance is coming to the US. As a dual UK-US citizen she travels with her UK passport and buys travel insurance. "You're renting a nice place for what I pay in insurance monthly" - Lisa "Bali is a little bit less gritty, feels more comfortable, and it's still cheap" - Hannah "I kind of gave you a bad question" - Lisa   Verbal Rorschach rug: chamber tacos: food painting: gallery love: heart dogs: thailand (lot's of wild dogs) mascara: beautiful iphone: technology (she's an android lover!) earring: jewelry comfortable: bed Last question!
