Episode 13: How to Choose a Remarkable Portable Career

In the past few episodes we’ve been talking about various aspects of the business you’ll need to support yourself as an Anywhereist. In Episode 7 we talked about how to work from home, specifically how to transition to working from home. In Episode 8, Kitty and I talked about our lives and our work, then in Episode 9 we looked at Cindy Drako, who’s drilled down to find a super-specialized niche for her business.

In Episode 11 we discussed passive income and dispelled some myths about it, and last week we met Tiffany Noro, who’s turned a physical skill into an online income stream.

Which brings us to today.

How do you decide on the portable career option that’s right for you? It’s actually pretty simple — though you shouldn’t equate that with easy.
