Coming to you from Seattle, Washington, but written during visits to at least seven countries, today I’m happy to bring you my second information product.

It’s called the Unconventional Guide to Working for Yourself: Creating Personal Freedom through a (Very) Small Business.

In the short-term, it’s all about earning an extra $200 a month, potentially several times over.

In the long-term, it’s also about freedom and breaking away from the tyranny of a job.

The product is a 53-page online guide and three 25-minute audio teaching sessions. Of course, it’s professionally designed, contains all great content like you have come to expect, and all updates will be free for six months.

Read the details or order your own copy here. Thanks!

How to reconcile these two conflicting statements?

1) Working for yourself, especially while traveling, is not as easy as most people think. The fantasy and the reality are quite distinct, and it takes a lot of work to be successful.

Both statements are completely true, but naturally, we tend to view the idea of self-employment and extensive travel through only one of the two statements. I’d like to look at it a bit deeper.
