If you meet Lea Woodward at a jungle safari, don’t disturb her, she might be working. If you meet her at an art gallery in Paris, don’t disturb her, she might be working. Incase you meet her at a beach in Goa or a casino in Dubai, she may be working. No, she’s not a travel journalist; neither does she host a travel show. Lea is a business owner, a strategist, blogger and a professional of a new league which we call ‘Location Independent Professionals.’
Lea calls it the freelance dream. In this link which is an interview with John Brougher you can peep into Lea’s mind and her abrupt decision to quit the so called ‘rat race’ and become a location independent business person. Now what really is a location independent professional. Well Lea and her husband are perfect examples. She is into strategic planning with regards to CRM, cross-functional business processes, customer service and lots more. She is also a physical trainer and mentors corporate in fields like health and well being. So what makes her unique? Well, she does all this while traveling around the world to her favorite places.
Lea introduces you to some successful people who live this dream right here. In case these people impress you a lot, she also provides you with a list of 6 things you must do before you leave the rat race, set up your own business and become location independent.
Now if you want to take a look at Lea’s work place this is where it is. You can also find Lea’s writing on her specialized topics at www.vagablogging.net and freelanceswitch.com. In the end all I can say for this location independent professional is, ‘the world is her play ground.’
