I'm Amanda. I'm a business and marketing coach for ambitious entrepreneur who want to create a freedom lifestyle. I travel around the world full time and spent most my days in Thailand, Vietnam or Bali. I'm a strategy and systems girl and here to help you scale your business and become unstoppable.
Take a sneak peek into my crop-top-wearing, smoothie-bowl-sharing lifestyle! Plus, my non-negotiables for a structured biz fueled by choice and freedom!
“I’m a normal person, just like you!”. LOL, just kidding – this isn’t an Oscar’s speech.
But seriously though… there is no reason why you can’t live it up on a beach, making dollars in your Daisy-Duke’s. I actually live a completely normal life, except I’m surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Bali, Thailand or wherever I choose to open the laptop lid. I get to wear a crop top and flip flops to work and I can clock-off for 3pm yoga any day of the week.
… there is a caveat though. Humans need structure. It wouldn’t be fair or truthful of me to sell you this ‘devil-may-care’ lifestyle, whilst claiming to make the big bucks. The real laptop lifestyle is a balance between structure that makes sense and freedom that allows your creativity to flow.
It’s time for the 411… the down-low…the BTS look at the lifestyle that built the Laptop Lifestyle.
My Schedule
6:30-7am
As a natural night owl, I have tried to force a morning routine on myself for years. Now, I tend to start my day with easier work and a cafe (girl gotta have caffeine, right?).
Sometimes I have the occasional client call at 7am. With the time difference between us and the US, this is sometimes a small sacrifice that has to be made, but hey! With an iced latte in my hand and fire in my belly… what’s the odd early morning?
8am
If I’m not already serving up value on client calls, I’m ready to get served up some breakfast! (My no.1’s are Zin and Betelnut Cafe in Canggu, FYI)
I jump into my Voxer messages, reply to DMs, check my emails and have a scroll through my favorite Facebook groups. Once I’m suitably fed and caffeinated, I ramp up the scooter and head to my nearest co-working space. Jumping on the scooter is probably one of my favorite simple pleasures. No stinky, traffic-ridden commute for me!
9:30-10am
Hmmmm, hardest choice of the day. Do I want to work from a cabana, a bean bag, a standing desk, communal tables or the sun-soaked garden? I know, don’t hate me 😉
I grab a cool drink, say hello to the regulars and pick a spot at my favorite co-working space, Tropical Nomad.

1pm
Duatiga for lunch? Or do I grab a GoJek (Bali’s answer to UberEats)?
Delicious and nutritious lunch in hand, I find myself a nice palm tree to sit under. It’s good to take a portion of the day to just be. No phone, no laptop. Just me, my salad and the sunshine.
2pm
Back to work! I schedule-block my day out, so I always know what’s next and there are no ‘dead hours’. From planning and creating high-value content, to formulating new programs, building funnels, managing my team and… of course, speaking to clients – there’s always plenty to keep me out of mischief!
I spend at least an hour a day on IG, creating stories and chatting in the DMs. At present, I get 95% of my clients on Instagram – so it’s a time investment that = $$$. (Note: Scrolling IG does not count as ‘time investment’, I see you babe!)
I like to round off my working afternoon with a smoothie bowl, mmmmm!
5:30pm
Gym time! Fitness and physical activity is one of my non-negotiables. At the moment, my local gym has both HIIT and boxing classes – which I love!
No matter where I am, I’ll always work out. If there isn’t a nice gym or a class to go to, I’ll do my own HIIT workouts.
Time to breathe, head to the beach to watch the sunset or out to dinner with my boyfriend.
Even though we work at the same co-working space, we make time to date each other and catch up on each other’s day. And if it’s a Friday? Then it’s cocktail time! Margaritas anyone?
8:30 pm
Before fully clocking off, I’ll wrap up a project or two, maybe book a trip away or simply tidy up my finances (ya know I love a spreadsheet!).
10:30pm
Night guys! Time for bed – zzzz.
Whilst this is a normal day, there are always exceptions. If I’m feeling crappy (which can still happen in paradise!), I’ll work from my room. Sometimes I’ll take a Friday off so we can go on a fun weekend trip! But in general, structure is key to running a laptop biz from a sunny, palm-tree waving island. What’s great about this lifestyle is I have the choice.
And you can too…
You know what? Start right here with my 30 day blueprint for running your laptop biz. Don’t say I don’t treat ya 😉
I’m Amanda and I believe building a business is not an escape from your current life—it’s so much more than that. It’s a chance to redefine your identity, your future, and everything you grew up believing about what “success” looked like. That freedom you’re craving and the vision board of jet-setting? We’re going to turn that into your reality, all you have to do is make the first move.
I help female entrepreneurs confidently walk away from their soul-crushing corporate jobs (forever) and live the laptop lifestyle with systems + strategies that book out their business and make bank.
It’s time to start living your life on your own terms—whatever that means to you. And I'm here to help you grow your business and make that a reality.
