Have you ever wondered how to become freelance location independent writer? This week I speak with Joni Sweet who is a full time freelance remote writer. Before becoming a remote writer, Joni took a lot of twists and turns in her career. From working in a Newspaper in Indonesia, a travel magazine in New York City to slowly transitioning to the finance industry where she worked as a content strategist before finally becoming a full time remote writer. Her experience in the finance industry allowed her to realize that she did not thrive working in an office. The feeling of discontent and the need to pay off student loans led Joni to dive into becoming a part time remote writer while still working at her day job. Today Joni lives in New York City as a full time writer and has been published in National Geographic, Forbes, Thrillist, Huffington Post and so much more. On this episode Joni shares how to become a freelance location independent writer and why prioritizing what’s most important in your life is crucial to success.   WANT TO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE AND BE LOCATION INDEPENDENT?
