My journey from shop worker to full-time business owner & digital nomad

My journey from shop worker to full-time business owner & digital nomad

Having an online business is a wild, beautiful ride!

In 2012, I quit my 9-5 job as a shop worker and started an online graphic design business. I had no financial help, no degree and no marketing or business experience to help me - just my own determination to make it work.

Now, I’ve built an online business that has allowed me to work 20 hours a week and travel the world.

I’ve gone from:

  • Being stuck in a hometown I used to hate.

  • Getting £6 (ish) per hour for my work.

  • Having a boss I didn’t like and was scared of.

  • Only being able to travel for four weeks per year.

To…

  • Having the ability to live anywhere I want!

  • Working 20 hours a week and earning 18x what I made at my day job

  • Being my own boss *whoop whoop*

  • Traveling the globe and spending months in New York, Nicaragua and Asia (as well as taking smaller trips to places like Bali, France, Italy, Austria and more!)

If I can build the business and freedom-filled lifestyle of my dreams, so can you.
