Greetings from inside the Arctic Circle! I am writing this at the end of the earth where I am spending time with my family, feeling grateful for the opportunity to witness the incredible beauty and breathtaking expanse of nature on display here. I am also acutely aware that this is only possible for us because of the freedom our online business gives us.

I have to pinch myself that I woke up this morning in a glass igloo, surrounded by snow with nothing but vivid blue sky overhead. As day turns to night, the Northern Lights move in providing the most spectacular natural display on earth.

I didn’t take time off work to be here. I didn’t get my boss’s permission (because I am my boss). I didn’t even have to pay for my own flight. Because this here – adventuring, exploring, researching, discovering, interviewing – is all part of my job, so my company pays the adventure bills. And that’s something I am hugely grateful for. But I’m not saying that to make you jealous – I’m saying that to make you realise that it is possible to turn your passion into a thriving business, to do good things in the world whilst making yourself happy, to create your own kind of freedom.
I deeply believe that we are seeing a paradigm shift in the way we live, learn and earn, and I have a feeling that now is the time to grab that opportunity before the rest of the world gets in on the act. In the grand scheme of things, digital business and online marketing have only been around in a big way for a very short time – just a decade or so – but the developments in platforms, software and opportunities have moved forward light years in that time. It has never been easier or cheaper to start an online business and make it thrive, and we want to help you do that.
That’s why we are going to be dedicating April as our ‘Love Business’ month – hop on our special business mailing list if you want access to some great free resources and valuable tips and advice for starting or growing your online business.
And before I go, I wanted to share this little video postcard from the Arctic that I made for you – can you spot the frozen eyelashes? It has got as low as minus 15… I hope this inspires you to try the adventure of remote working, or just to try a new adventure today…
What adventure will you begin today?
Beth and team
