3 Things to Help You Do Work You Love from Anywhere This Year
So, listen.
First of all, I can’t stop eating grapes. 🍇 Thank god I got that off my chest.
Secondly, however—if you’re interested in living a fantastically jazzy, wide-eyed, rambunctious, completely unorthodox international lifestyle where you can live & work from anywhere while consuming abnormal quantities of cheese & (sometimes) bacteria-infested meats, have I got just the thing for you. Three things, in fact!
Lemme dig around in my back pocket* here……
WRITING /// First! Make your words the most punchy, buzzy, bingeable deliciousness on the internet with my infamous Meat & Hair Creative Writing School. 💀 The course is now open for enrollment—complete with a brand-new payment plan!—and as a subscriber, you get a super duper secret discount code on top of it. 💥 Go here now to enter your email and claim your code! Then, check out the course in your email. You won’t be disappointed.

CONFIDENCE /// Lacking motivation right now? Feeling like a rock hit you in the head? Feeling mega doubts about yourself / your work / your direction / your career? You definitely need to read (or re-read!) my spunky fun mini ebook manifesto, You Don’t Need a Job, You Need Guts. It’s free for all subscribers! You can download it below. (Warning: It is very, very colorful. 🤣 And the first chapter is titled: "Shockingly, You Are Not a Hamburger.”)

SELLING /// Need good-paying clients 💰 who don’t suck, who you actually like, to get you going on your brand-new thing? Terrified of the moment when they go, “Let’s hop on a call to discuss”—because SCARY??? Do you transform into the size of a teeny tiny common household rodent who’s afraid of its own flatulence? HERE IS A GIFT. It’s my very fun & practical audio training course on how to conduct confident, killer sales calls where I walk you through 14 different scenarios of everything they could say—and everything you should say back in order to get the business (and make it easy on yourself!)
These are so many must-memorize lines in here, and the topics include:
