When people hear the term 'location independence,' they often think of digital nomads who live on the road, working from their laptops. While that is a great way to work, it isn't the only type of location independent job or lifestyle.
Having a job that lets you work remotely can be a lot of fun, especially if you love the idea of being your own boss and creating a life that fits your personal needs. But before you jump in, here are some things to consider:
The biggest benefit of location independence is that it allows you to work from wherever you want – even while traveling. This is because freelancing allows you to work from home, at a coffee shop, or on a plane.
Another advantage is that you can set your own hours. You can choose to work during the day or at night, and you can also take a break whenever you feel like it.
One of the most important things you can do to make sure that your freelance career is successful is to understand your work style and how you like to work. Knowing this will help you focus your energy on what you need to accomplish and avoid distractions.
Some work better with a team, while others prefer to plan everything out individually. Either way, being able to communicate with your team and share the details of what you need to do will ensure that your work is completed as quickly as possible.
There are many different types of freelance jobs that you can do from any place, as long as you have a reliable internet connection. These can include writing, consulting, social media, and more.
For most people, being location independent is a dream. But it's not easy to achieve and requires a significant amount of self-discipline.
It's also not for everyone. Some people find it a bit lonely when they are working from home, as they don't have the same social circle as they did in an office environment.
The good news is that you can still learn new skills and build up your network from home. There are a number of ways to do this, including taking online courses, volunteering for free or discounted education, and doing a part-time internship.
You can also join an online community of freelancers and entrepreneurs. These groups are a great way to meet new people and learn about different freelance career options.
Some of these communities are also a great place to pick up new tips and tricks that will help you become more efficient in your work. You can even join their forums, where you'll have access to a wealth of knowledge and advice from other freelancers.
Aside from the flexibility that comes with being able to work from anywhere, the
other great thing about being location independent is the fact that you can travel and experience new cultures. It can be difficult to do this when you're working for someone else, but by using your own time and money to travel the world, you can have a much more fulfilling life!

My name is Odile Raphael and I am originally from West Africa. My immigration journey started in 2006 in Ottawa where I landed for study and study again.

My name “Odile” means “wealth” an accumulation of valuable resources according to Google definition meaning that wealth is a combination of Physical, Financial, Spiritual and Economical resources a person can possess. With that being said; I’ve been all over the places in my search for a job/career satisfaction for about 15 years.
