Well before I embarked on my trip to Europe to further my goal to visit half the world, as well as attempt to run my business in the process, I had discovered Lea Woodward. I believe it was a tweet I sent saying `Who is a great example of someone running a business while travelling the world?’ and Lea’s name came up several times. I looked her up and realized she had built an entire business around living a Location Independent lifestyle with a blog, a huge community and some fantastic go-to resources to allow others to do the same. I thought it was a longshot to reach out and ask if she’d be open for an interview but... [read more] Related posts:

A few months back I was reading a fascinating article in Entrepreneur.com about how few entrepreneurs start a business with the end in mind. The all important exit strategy seems elusive to many of us yet it is so important to have that end goal in mind. I was so impressed by the points in the article and the level of advice given, plus the fact that she’d just written a book called Show Me The Money that I just decided to email Chia-Li Chien and tell her so. Chia-Li Chien is the founder and chief strategist of Chien Associates LLC, a strategy and implementation management consulting firm that helps women entrepreneurs to convert...

I love the energy and enthusiasm of young entrepreneurs. I've been privileged to meet several dynamos recently that make me wish I'd delved into the world of entrepreneurship earlier. Winnie Lai is one of these people. I met her over coffee last week and figured she was the last person in the world who needed caffeine. High on life this energiser bunny was keen to discuss all the reasons why being an entrepreneur is the only way to live your life. She made me forget the challenging times when you just wish you could head to a cushy job (let's face it we've all had those moments). Instead I felt like running off to start more...
