Welcome to one of the newest features on the Location Independent blog: Inspirational Destinations – a monthly interview with a LIP on location.
Up to now on the blog, we’ve focused on a lot of practical information and the nuts and bolts about location independent lifestyle; from the Ask The Coach Q&A to the book and business course.

So at least once a month, I will be reaching out into the community and finding LIPs in vibrant, exciting (or perhaps tranquil and gorgeous – who knows) destinations who are willing to share their story.

Having a strategy to deal with the naysayers and doubters in your life is vital to keep you focused and on track. Here are three tactics that can help…
