Podcast 41:09 | Download | Stitcher | iTunes | Comment

With over 260 episodes published, some of our listeners have been asking us which episodes of our show are the best to share with people who want to learn more about the location independent lifestyle. We thought this posed a pretty interesting challenge, and we've decided to create a five part series that people can download to get an overall sense of what the location independent startup community is all about. On this first episode in the series, we are going to be going over five key points on how to make your first $1000 online.

Listen to this week's show and learn:

• What it means for us to be part of the location independent business community.

• The five key tenants of our business mindset.

• Why it might be better to start with a service business if you are starting from scratch.

• How to build yourself a job where you learn lucrative skills.

Seth Godin's Startup School is probably better than anything we've done in terms of being clear and structured about the fundamental principles to starting what we call a "lifestyle business." Our episodes tend to use more jargon and are much less elegant, but can provide more granular insight into how people create location independent businesses. We also offer some specific strategies that Seth doesn't touch on.
