In this episode, Niluka Kavanagh shares her journey from consulting to entrepreneurship, emphasizing self-defined success. She talks about the 'Ikigai' model, promoting careers that enhance life and align with personal values. She empowers digital nomads and solopreneurs, highlighting the importance of balancing success with well-being.

Niluka is the Founder of ImagineThat - the Business School for Digital Nomads and Solopreneurs.

ImagineThat helps ambitious but bored professionals start their own independent online services business and work from anywhere.

After graduating from Oxford University, Niluka started her career in consulting at KPMG UK in London, working with global brands including Tesco, Mastercard and The London Stock Exchange.

Nearly 5 years later, she wanted more and decided to embark on an experiment - is it possible to work for yourself and work from anywhere?

During this time, Niluka worked on 2 of her own businesses fully remote while living in 7 places across the world, including Valencia, Lisbon Chiang Mai, Istanbul and Da Nang. One of her businesses was in public speaking (helping over 500 people globally improve their presenting skills) and the other was a tech start-up which she took to market.

She saw that it IS possible to work for herself and have location freedom - and saw other professionals like her wanting to do the same, but not knowing where to begin. This led her to create ImagineThat and the ImagineThat Academy.
