Episode 20: Do You Need a Big Business Idea?

Yvonne Gerard Can Help

A while back, I asked readers what was their biggest obstacle to becoming Anywhereists.

The majority were stumbling because they hadn’t yet come up with a big idea for a portable business.

If that’s your situation, you’ll definitely want to listen to this episode.

Yvonne Gerard has developed a course to help you do just that — to come up with your big business idea.

Some of you may remember that I was working on a course for that, but Yvonne, it turns out, already had something very much along the lines of what I was planning. So, rather than reinvent the wheel, I decided to team up with her.

In this episode, we discuss portable businesses, and how you can come up with the idea you need to springboard yourself to living as an Anywhereist.

Yvonne helps aspiring entrepreneurs find an idea, create, build, and grow their business. She offers courses and mastermind groups for fed-up employees and freedom seekers. She has started and run several businesses and has an MBA in Finance.

Resources from the Podcast

Yvonne learned about Mastermind groups from reading Napolean Hill’s Think and Grow Rich.
Yvonne’s website is Create Income Independence, where she offers “coaching and mastermind groups for fed-up employees and freedom seekers.” If that sounds like you, check it out! Here’s the direct link for her Big Idea course that we talked about.
