I submitted my first draft and immediately got a notification of payment, $375 bucks ready to be cashed out to PayPal. Not bad for 600 words. Welcome to Contently. It took me about a year to get on Contently, but now I’m a total fangirl. I work with quality clients in there who are awesome. […]
7 Freelancing Tips For New Location Rebels
It’s always fun having new members pop up in the LR forums and make their first introductions. Usually, it goes something like this: “Hey, I’m Liz from Boston. I’ve been working in an office job in finance. It’s fine, the pay is ok, but I have so much more I want to do with my […]
Limping In
Well, this is it. Today is day 30 of my 30 day, daily blog challenge to myself. As I write this I’m somewhere over the Nevada desert en route to Las Vegas, for a trip I take a trip with friends every year. If you’ve been around for a while, you may remember my daily vlog experiment […]
That Time I Lost My Passport in Japan…
Over the years I’ve made a lot of stupid travel mistakes. There was the time I was supposed to have a meeting in Ubud (the center of the island in Bali) and after two hours of riding my motorbike, I ended up at the ocean. There’s the time I almost lost my laptop at Boston […]
Radical Transparency: How to Get People to Be Brutally Honest With You

How to Start an Online Business (It’s Easier than You Think)
9 years. That’s how long I’ve been running my own online businesses, and while the online landscape is completely different now than it was back when I started in 2009, there’s one thing that remains the same: There is no one right way to build an online business. Every single one is different. Even businesses in the […]
Canadian Rockies: Exploring Banff and Canmore
Last week in partnership with Canadian Rockies Golf, I took an epic 7 day trip to Alberta to see the best of what the area had to offer in terms of golf and the outdoors. To put it bluntly, the Candian Rockies were even more breathtaking and spectacular than I could have expected. Arriving in […]
Overcome Uncertainty: How To Turn Uncertainty into an Asset
Last year I started a golf community called The Eighty Club. The idea was it would be a place for likeminded golfers to be able to network, share their home courses with each other, and create a global community that prioritizes camaraderie and love of the game over anything else. One of the promises of […]
Daily Blog Update Week #3: Heading into the Home Stretch
Three weeks down, one week to go. Today marks my 23rd day of daily blogging, and it’s been an interesting experience. So far it’s fair to say it’s pretty much gone exactly how I expected it would.
