How A Lifestyle Design Blog for People With Chronic Illness Led to a Thriving VA Business

Elizabeth Goddard is the definition of Spinoff Success. (She's had so many that I had to have her back for part 2). It's hard to believe that this incredibly energetic and productive woman suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome. When a friend introduced Elizabeth to the lifestyle design movement a few years ago, Elizabeth loved the message but discovered a lack of resources for people who suffer from chronic illnesses. Elizabeth filled that void with a blog to make "chronic illness suck less." The basic tech skills she acquired by creating and managing the site allowed her to help others with their projects and her VA business was born. With no marketing, virtually no email list and being helpful inside facebook groups for specific software products or services, she attracted steady business and established herself as the go-to expert in a few, specific areas. 

Learn about the mindset and skills that Elizabeth deployed to start a business that allowed her to design a life that she loves.
