Today's episode is a challenge to reshape your understanding of freelancing versus traditional remote jobs. Our guest, Hannah Dixon from the Virtual Excellence Academy, challenges the so-called freedoms of remote roles by exposing their hidden constraints like geographic limitations and rigid hours, compared with the liberties freelancing can offer. Through Hannah’s personal experience and her inspiring journey from a virtual assistant to a community builder and educator, listeners will gain a fresh perspective on creating a career that aligns with personal passions and strengths.

Hannah and Maya discuss the genesis of the "Five-Day VA" challenge, a transformative program that has empowered over 30,000 people to secure their first clients and build sustainable freelance businesses, using skills they already have. Whether you're juggling the decision to leave a traditional job or seeking to enhance your current freelance gig, this episode provides tangible strategies and first-hand stories to guide you towards a fulfilling, balanced work-life.

The conversation also explores the community aspects of remote working, recognizing the pivotal role of intentional social connections in combating isolation. Our reflections on maintaining relationships through digital means offer valuable insights for fostering a supportive network while working from home, whether through the Virtual Excellence Academy, Remote Work Europe, or a community of interest each listener can create around themselves.. Additionally, we tackle the risks and rewards of freelancing, from financial uncertainties to the joy of aligning work with your curiosity and mastery.

Enjoy this discussion which takes an honest look at the complexities of remote work and freelancing, while reflecting on the rewards of building a career rooted in authenticity and passion.
