Kelly Christian: Location-Independent Bookkeeper
November 7, 2018 | Podcast, with pets
Kelly took her local, in-person bookkeeping business online, expanding her reach and giving her the ability to work from anywhere. Thanks to her work and some research and planning, Kelly and her husband were able to spend three months in Mexico last winter. She joined me to talk about what it took to make it happen, what she learned along the way, and what’s changed as a result of their winter abroad.

- Making it possible to spend three months in Mexico
- Sorting out tech and logistics for the trip
- Tools and strategies for dealing with limited internet access
- What’s changed as a result of their experience
