## Show Notes

When I first started thinking about working for myself, I paid attention to the stories that other digital entrepreneurs were sharing about their new work from where lives. While there were a ton of things that were positive, I was focused on addressing potential roadblocks to success.

## Real Talk

I’ve never experienced creativepreneur loneliness BUT I have experienced isolation regarding specific goals that I’m focused on such as:

• Debt-Freedom

• Wanting to work for myself

• F.I.R.E.

• Writing a book

Not everyone gets the goals that you’re focused on.

## Priorities

- Socialization and connecting with others

- This was non-negotiable for several reasons
  o People need people
  o People are my future customers
  o People help me in business by helping me find problems that they need help solving (potential product ideas)

What I discovered-It’s hard for me to work from home when I have projects that require deep focus. My best days to work from home are the end of the week and snow days.

## Some Things to NOTE

Denver is GREAT for online entrepreneurs. There are a lot of tech companies and self-employed people in Denver. So, there are always people working outside of traditional office spaces anytime you’re working outside of your home. Digital entrepreneurship is a familiar to most people you encounter so you don’t feel weird about what you’re working on. People “get it”

Colorado is a “work to live” state vs. a “Live to work” people work hard and play hard. Rush hour begins at 12 pm on Friday with people going to the mountains. Basically, the people that I’m regularly around work towards a similar lifestyle.
o Hiking
o Skiing/Snowboarding
o Happy Hour
o Chilling out

## Questions People Ask

Don’t you miss working with people daily? No!

What about working toward group goals? I do work towards collective goals and this happens via my Mastermind group. We agree on separate and group related goals for the year.

What about professional development? If I were to apply for jobs here are the skills that I’ve developed during the past 4 years.

## What About Money?

This has been the trickiest part of my entrepreneurship journey.

### Anything else to note?

Not commuting equals more time to spend with people or focused on self-care. The amount of time that I’ve freed up from my year by not commuting is around 20 hours a week. My commute was averaging around an hour and half to two hours each way depending on weather and time of year.

I am almost always pretty chilled out, so my interactions with people are also pretty chilled out and filled with humor. I’m a lot more fun to be around.

I’m much healthier

You Don’t Need to Be Lonely-But you have to prioritize socialization
