This is the one question friends and family ask us over and over again - and was recently asked by a new reader. Most of our friends and family don’t live in the online world as much as we do and so the concept of people trusting us enough to hand over their hard-earned cash without ever having met us (and often spoken to us) seems completely foreign.
They have a fair point…what would make you hand over money (in some cases $2,000+) to someone you’ve never met?

How often does an idea for a business pop into your head but you’re just not sure whether it’d be popular or whether it would make you enough money to support a nomadic, location independent lifestyle?
Did you know that there is a tried & tested method of figuring this out - which is slightly more scientific than basing your business on a gut feeling?
It’s not a fancy new tool or whizz bang online app, it’s the good old spreadsheet-based business model.
But before your eyes glaze over (as mine often do when faced with rows and rows of dullardio numbers), here’s what building a business model can tell you about your idea:
- Whether it is ever likely to make you enough money
- What your earnings targets are - and whether it’s realistic to be able to hit them or not
- How much setting up & running the business is going to cost you now & in the future
- Whether it’s worth your time, effort & financial investment in the short, medium & long term

Running a company that provides business strategy & mentoring, I frequently get questions like this:
- What sort of business should I set up?
- How do I set up a business without much income?
- How can I earn an income whilst being location independent?
I’m a big believer in running a business doing something you enjoy and believe in, not just for the sake of earning money (if I wanted to do that, I’d have stayed in the corporate world as a management consultant).
But I hesitated to write this post because I wasn’t immediately sure I could break it down in a way that would be realistic and achievable for most people. However I figured it was worth a try since somebody might get some value out of it and, as usual, my ethos for blogging is that it’s better out of my head where it might help someone, than in, where it most definitely won’t help anyone!
So I’m about to describe a process which has enabled me to set up a business, attract paying clients and earn a decent income in less than 6 months doing something I enjoy…not once but three times:
