Janet Brent has lived and traveled abroad since January 2010. After years of running her <\/i>location independent<\/i><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> graphic design business, she\u2019s now based near Portland Oregon, as a work-at-home mom. Over the years her life and her business have evolved; she is now a soulful marketing strategist and digital storyteller. Her next phase of business is writing her first book, a memoir, and launching a self-publishing company to house it. <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Janet’s Financial Case Study was originally published in 2015 when she was still a graphic designer. So I asked her to give us an update on her career and lifestyle, since so many things have changed! <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the beauty of lifestyle design; you can design \u2013 and redesign \u2013 it as you wish. Check it out! <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n

This post was originally published in 2015 and republished in 2019. It has since been updated for accuracy of links and content. <\/em>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long have you been living\/working on the road, and where have you traveled to?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2015: <\/b>Lived in the Philippines three years. Within those three years, I lived in Cebu, Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Manila, and Bacolod City. I also traveled to Taiwan for one month. Germany for three months. Thailand for one month. Bali for 2 weeks. NY for 3 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE:<\/b><\/u> As soon as I got featured in a digital nomad article on the Guardian and on Nora Dunn\u2019s blog of the same year, my digital nomad life actually settled down and now I\u2019m a first time mama to a 13 month old! I was still single when the article published and very soon after that, started dating my soon-to-be hubby, manifested an all-expense paid trip to Mexico to attend an Indian wedding (sadly my only \u201cinternational\u201d trip since the article), and then had our daughter a year ago at only 28 weeks pregnant. 1 lb. 9 oz. and 102 days in the NICU! It was a tough year but now I\u2019m bouncing back. I think I\u2019ve been to Canada and Charlotte, NC domestically since then as well but I am itching for more travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wanderlust has not died down and our next move, before the end of year, we\u2019re thinking of either living in a tiny house for a small home base that can allow us to travel more, or RV\/skoolie lifestyle (camper van seems a bit too crowded and maybe TOO millennial for me, though I know it\u2019s been done with a baby!) and hit the road.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please describe what you do for income.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2015: <\/b>I\u2019m a graphic\/web designer by trade and specialize in ebook design. I help people grow their businesses through designing and launching ebooks, e-course worksheets, e-zines, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE:<\/b><\/u> I still do graphic\/web design but as my business and life has evolved, I\u2019m discovering it\u2019s not the sustainable model I want to ultimately focus on, because I don\u2019t want to freelance forever and don\u2019t want to scale into an agency either. It\u2019s served me well as a trainer business, and originally, I did want to work for myself as a designer, but now my soul is calling for something greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m shifting into a soulful marketing strategist and looking at the coach\/mentor business model for scaling (group programs, 1:1, and eventually in person retreats). I\u2019m future writing a bit here as I still primarily make my money through graphic\/web design. Anything from book design, book editing, websites, copywriting, sales pages\/funnels, slide deck designs for webinars \u2026 I do it all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I AM collaborating with a colleague who is bringing me and 11 other coaches into her year-long group program where I will teach on soulful business building, so there\u2019s a start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all my skills, it\u2019s a wonder I don\u2019t just scale into the agency model but I don\u2019t feel it\u2019s my calling. However, I do think a self-publishing business is still within my calling which seems contradictory\u2026 but that could still be a hybrid business model of agency\/coaching. I guess I want it all.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many hours per week do you work on average?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2015: <\/b>20-30 hours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE<\/b><\/u>: Still part time, about 20 hours but full-time pay \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Janet<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

How much money do you make?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2015: <\/b>I\u2019ve been averaging around $2000\/month so far this year. When I first started with zero business skills in 2011, I only made $3,000 for the full year. But since I lived in the Philippines, that\u2019s enough for local wage income to make it work, though it\u2019s definitely not an expat lifestyle<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point I only have one income stream which is client work. I want to grow my income streams into self-published books\u2026goal is to make rent money in passive income. Last year I made $20,000 which was my best year so far but this year I feel like I want to at least be able to double. I have six months to go and still very possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE:<\/b><\/u> It\u2019s honestly been up and down. In 2015, I did manage to double my income in the last half of the year to move out of my mom\u2019s and lived with roommates until I started cohabiting with my boyfriend. Then last year, we had to move back into my mom\u2019s because the NICU was such a tough financial period for us, not sustainable with just one income because we were used to being a dual-income household. That was a wake-up call for me to get my act together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, literally this month, I can say that I am finally bouncing back after slowly building back my biz after my hiatus (aka lack of maternity leave \u2013 I wasn\u2019t getting paid!) with slow months \u2013 under $2,000 \u2013 while my boyfriend drove Uber full time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of this month (August), he is now a stay-at-home dad while I continue to build my business. It\u2019s back to where I had it pre-pregnancy\u2026 $4-5k\/month but I am VERY focused in shattering my own glass ceilings and scaling to $10-15k before the end of the year so we can move out (again) and comfortably be on single income (though at the very least, I could do it with $6k\/mo). It\u2019s still very possible.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you make enough money to support your lifestyle?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2015: <\/b>I\u2019m finding it challenging to balance my debt but for me, I somehow make just \u2018enough\u2019 to be able to at least stabilize and neutralize each month. My finances are honestly a mess right now so I don\u2019t feel like the best example of this lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE:<\/b><\/u> Yes, I make enough\u2026 I have always seemed to make \u201cbare minimum\u201d but slowly inching towards a more comfortable lifestyle. Of course, my lifestyle is also a bit modest compared to some, especially with our goal to live \u2018tiny\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can afford baby formula as I\u2019m now starting to wean \u2013 ha! That\u2019s all I care about\u2026 Since I get the good stuff from Europe, that adds up.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your vision for the future of your lifestyle on the road?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2015: <\/b>I am making changes and redefining what I feel digital nomad means for me. I know that I definitely want a more long-term home base. I can\u2019t be a perpetual traveler just living out of my suitcase. I want to be able to travel and have a place to come back to, and the idea of building a community that you wouldn\u2019t get if you\u2019re a short-term resident\/visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, I still love to travel and want to keep that in my life! I love the idea of being multi-rooted. That I could have my \u2018home\u2019 but own property or have other places around the world that I can come stay in as like my 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, if I had my way, I would live in a tiny house or some sort of minimalist space where I can live rent free because I would outright own it. Be able to AirBnb or rent out while I\u2019m traveling and do my slow travel in other parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would host writing\/creativity workshops and retreats around the world. I would travel to help communities, while building my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE:<\/b><\/u> Yes, all of that still stands and we are moving towards the tiny home(!!). It seems like the perfect home-base to be multi-rooted and travel around the world. Of course, since I now have a daughter, I\u2019ve always wanted to worldschool\/unschool and\/or homeschool her. I want to be a family that slow travels internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the idea of homeschooling so she is less indoctrinated. The school system is still pretty outdated. We are still living in old school economy in many ways while already shifting to new school economy (freelancers, small businesses, digital nomads, buying local, zero waste movement etc.). The future will see more of this, and old models continue to crumble. We are just paving the way and I\u2019m interested in teaching my daughter the new paths, which public school hasn\u2019t caught on to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do think a more stable primary home base is best though, and I could be down with Waldorf school too, if I could swing that. Or (I\u2019m just dreaming) green school in Bali!! Ok, I just looked it up and they apparently have a New Zealand location now as well and I\u2019ve always wanted to live in New Zealand too! That aligns best with my boyfriend since he unfortunately hates tropical weather, and has mentioned NZ as a potential place to live. I\u2019ll say New Zealand green school is in my future lifestyle vision (and I\u2019ve always loved my New Zealand\/Aussie clients too). ?

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any advice for the aspiring traveler about living and working on the road and managing finances?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2015: <\/b>You honestly don\u2019t need to make much to \u2018afford\u2019 this lifestyle. I would say maintaining status-quo house\/car\/job is a much more expensive lifestyle. That being said, I\u2019ve also acquired some debt from this lifestyle by living beyond my means and\/or investing in my business and not seeing real ROI fast enough. It\u2019s possible to live and work from anywhere with $20\/30k year if you live a minimalist lifestyle which also means minimal bills\/debt etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE:<\/b><\/u> I still stand by my advice that you definitely can live with LESS on this lifestyle. Status-quo is MORE expensive IMHO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have skills that can translate to an online business, it creates so much freedom to choose to be a work-at-home mom, location independent digital nomad, or anything in between. Being a Virtual Assistant is pretty entry level as far as online jobs go, so that could be a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need a degree for any of this! Coaching is an unregulated field and certifications will just slow you down. Tech skills, design \u2013 it can all be learned and self-taught. This is the best time in history to work for yourself because we are literally creating a new economy. How we work is evolving so there is no time like the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many apps to help you<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>, that you can literally run a business on your phone. Acorns is my favorite app to help you save. Schwab is the best bank for living abroad because there are no ATM fees (or it\u2019s refunded back to your account anyway, can\u2019t remember exactly). Easy peasy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
