Who Says You Have To Live By The Rules?
Are you fed up with having to live by the rules? The rules which say you have to work really hard, make lots of money just so you can buy a house with a big mortgage. And then work even harder to pay off that mortgage, until you can retire with a nice little nest egg pension…and finally start enjoying your life?
That didn’t sound great to us – and if it doesn’t sound like the path you want to take either, you’ve come to the right place…it’s the reason why we became Location Independent Professionals (LIPs), living and working from anywhere in the world we choose.
What Is Location Independent?
Being location independent is a concept, a lifestyle and a mindset.
It’s a lifestyle based on the freedom to choose. Whether you choose to live a nomadic life, you want to spend more time at home with the kids, move to an exotic location or you simply want to be able to work from the coffee shop down the road, the location independent lifestyle gives you the freedom to choose a lifestyle that works for you.
All the resources we’ve created and that we recommend on this site are designed to help you create a lifestyle that no longer sticks to the conventional rules…
Who Is Behind Location Independent?
The Location Independent site was created by Lea & Jonathan Woodward. Lea started out her professional life as a management consultant based in London, whilst Jonathan was a corporate graphic designer.
After Lea’s Mum died of cancer, she quit the rat race and became a personal trainer. A couple of years later, Jonathan was made redundant from his job. Fed up with the instability of the rat race and working for other people, they both decided to make a go of it and set up their own business.
Lea & Jonathan left the UK in early 2007, determined to find a ‘home’; instead they realised that they enjoyed the nomadic lifestyle that being location independent enabled – and are still travelling between some of their favourite countries including Thailand, South Africa and the Caribbean.
