What Does Freedom Really Look Like?
Portable income — live life on your terms

Welcome Freelancer!
With Independence Days popping up around the globe (Canada on the 1st, the U.S. on the 4th, and many more all summer long), we decided to celebrate a different kind of independence on this week’s Tuesday Night Call — the freedom that comes from earning portable income.
The kind that lets you live life on your terms:
✔ More travel
✔ More control over your day
✔ Saying yes to what excites you (and a guilt-free no to what doesn’t)
We even tested out a new live poll to see what “freedom” means most to you. The winner? TRAVEL — with 58% of you voting for it. Close second: simply having control over your time.
It was fun, heartfelt, and packed with real success stories.
If you missed “Freedom Week”, you can catch the replay and see Winton’s new slides on the “5 big categories”, because your next chapter — the one with real freedom — is waiting.

✅Don’t miss the next live call, next Tuesday night!
Next week we’re back with more practical steps to build your portable income — laced with real stories, plenty of laughter, and more live Q&A with Winton & his team. You’ll start to see how your own experience lines up.

🌱 Making Space for What’s Next
On this week’s call, Winton shared something powerful:
Many people stay so busy — with work, family, distractions — there’s no room for anything new to take root.
Unlock Your Potential Core Skills & Patience for Success
If you want your core skill or next chapter to appear, you have to give it space.
Portable income isn’t just about working online; it’s about designing life so there’s room for growth.
🎥 Watch the clip on how making space lets the right opportunities find you.
🌱 How this helps you:
When you join these calls (live or by replay), you’re carving out time for exactly that — to slow down, reflect, and open the door to what’s next.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
✅ “Where were you when it hit you: I can work from anywhere?”
We posed this question in the new live poll, and your answers were powerful.
Heidi kicked it off by sharing her answer, the exact moment it struck her in Aspen, Colorado — working with horses, realizing if she ever got injured she’d be trapped. That single thought changed her life forever.
👉 Ask Yourself:
What was your moment? That time you thought:
“I need to figure out how to do this differently…”
Remembering that spark will keep you moving when the next steps feel big.
🎥 Watch Heidi’s Aspen story + the funny “freedom = not having to build a horse barn” moment.
DREAM DESTINATIONS

✈️ Dream Destinations (and Why It’s Worth Building This Life)
One of the most answered questions in the new live poll was “Where would you go if your work truly traveled with you?”
The answers ran the gamut, but included Italy, New Zealand, the dive life on a Caribbean island, while others chose the mountains, beach houses, tiny European cafés, or simply staying put in their beautiful hometown because they can.
This is the heart of portable income: not just the “freedom to travel,” but the deeper permission to design your days exactly how you want them.
It’s easy to see these stories as fantasies.
But every one of them started with the same small decision: to get serious about building something portable - to learn the platforms, sharpen a few skills, send that first proposal.
On these calls, we’re all at different stages, but the common thread is that everyone’s chasing this same carrot — more life, on your terms.
Come hang out with us next time and see just how real it can become. Your real dream life could be closer than you think.
