The Laptop Lifestyle

An open letter to my listeners - this is one of my most important episodes I've ever recorded, just for you. Seth Godin's 30 years of projects. Follow Alexis on Instagram :) Dear Laptop Lifestyler - I am so thankful for you. You’ve shared your dreams, goals, struggles and fears with me over the past two and a half years. That takes bravery and strength. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for your countless emails, encouraging Instagram messages, phone calls, and for taking the time to listen to the podcast. We built a family of laptop lifestylers - a safe place to be seen and heard through the struggles of running an online business. Most importantly - I am so proud of you. Your work is important and the world needs to hear what you have to say. Being a laptop lifestyler is not easy. No one knows that better than you. It’s not for the faint of heart. The doubt that circles you, the naysayers who don’t get your dreams, the late nights - it’s a hard road at times. But the work you do, the art you make, the services that help people, the products you create that transform people, the blog posts you write that motivate people, the photos you take that inspire - they matter. DO. NOT. GIVE. UP. Keep fighting, keep pushing, keep trying. You may fail, and that’s okay. There is always a big win after a heart-wrenching loss. You will pick yourself back up and keep going because that’s what we do fam. We keep going. We keep creating. Because we don’t know how not to. In the dark times when you don’t know if you can keep creating, hear my voice cheering you on friend! I will always be here to bounce an idea off of, jump on the phone with, and encourage you. Thank you for your time. Thank you thank you thank you. You will forever be apart of my life and I am so thankful to have walked this incredible season with you. With love, your friend and fellow laptop lifestyler, Alexis
