Hello Portable Income Earner!

Next week we’re doing something special. I’ll be bringing on one of our Barefoot Consultants members who went through our VIP and AI training programs and turned it into a thriving coaching niche for herself.

It’s a powerful example of how the right tools, combined with your own expertise, can open doors you may never have imagined.

We’ll look at the steps she took, what worked, and what she learned along the way—plus we’ll cover our usual range of tips and strategies for creating portable income, so you’ll come away with both inspiration and practical next steps.

🌟 Recap: Live from Portland

This week’s call came to you from the International Living Conference in Portland—cell phone in hand instead of my usual setup! Despite the tech hiccups, it was worth it.

What struck me most was the human side of conferences. Yes, the sessions are valuable, but the gold is often in the conversations between them. Hearing stories of how people are navigating their portable income journey, trading lessons, and encouraging each other—that’s what really accelerates growth.

I’ll be sharing more highlights and insights from these face-to-face connections on next week’s call.

Now here’s the news from the Barefoot Consultants’ world,

See you next week!

📚 Tools That Shape Success

During this week’s live call from Portland, I shared a few of the timeless books that have shaped the way successful people think, work, and connect:

• Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill – a cornerstone on mindset, vision, and persistence.
  

• How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie – the ultimate guide to building strong relationships that open doors.
  

• The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey – practical habits that keep your focus on the long game.
  

• The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale – a reminder that attitude drives opportunity.
  

These aren’t just classics to read once. They’re playbooks to revisit again and again. 

As I mentioned on the call, every stage of life makes different lessons leap off the page. If you haven’t cracked one open in a while, consider it a signal—it may be the fresh lens you need right now.

And here’s a tip for freelancers: pair this kind of mindset work with tools like NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). A simple shift in how you frame a question—like asking a client about their next 2–3 months instead of “any future work”—can spark specific answers and keep projects flowing. 

That’s applied psychology working for your freelance business.

JOB OF THE WEEK

🌍 Hybrid Freelancing: The Best of Both Worlds

Not every portable income job means sitting behind a laptop all day.

On this week’s call, I shared the story of a safety engineer who mixes short in-person site visits with months of remote report writing. That blend allows him to keep the professional work he loves while enjoying the freedom of location.

Hybrid models like this are an important reminder: portable income doesn’t have to look just one way.

✈️ Looking Ahead: IL 2026

While we’re still soaking in the energy from Portland, the International Living team is already planning their 2026 events. These gatherings are where portable income meets global opportunity, and we’ll continue to be there—bringing you live insights, workshops, and the chance to connect in person.

Stay tuned for more on dates and destinations as they’re announced.
