We are part of a global economy, and one that is shifting. Does your schedule mean working with someone in another timezone makes more sense? Are you okay working with someone whose native language isn't the same as yours if it means a better quality product or a better time frame? Will you choose a provider with a lower asking price if it means a time zone lag? We have a lot of questions to answer if we're going to make our best choices in the world of international hires. As digital nomads, it's easy to feel alone, and this goes for our business lives as much as it does our personal ones. The answer in both cases is reaching out, building a network. Interact, offer help, answer questions, and when you need it, ask for help. Since we're often on the move, online groups can be the best place to start. I love Digital Nomad Girls, Female Digital Nomads, and She Hit Refresh. I love our pricing discussions because so many of us have no idea where to start. Kate talked about how in insurance, pricing is tied to coverage, but that she likes to add value as well. And it got me thinking, how can we add value to our products and services without adding work to our day. Is it in the way interacting with us allows our clients to feel? Is it in a product we can create once and send as a bonus to our loyal clients? What can we do and create that make the experience of working with us an even better choice?

Insurance tips from the Airbnb insurance expert w/ Kate Birtch

Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to travel all around the world, stay at Airbnb's, and find opportunities to invest in the local area?  In this success story, I speak with Kate Birtch, who over the course of 6 years has purchased and managed 6 properties ranging from Hawaii, Vietnam, Texas, and Cape Town South Africa.  Kate, who runs a successful short term rental insurance startup called Property Protect, has been able to travel and find opportunities in foreign countries to Airbnb. Kate is an opportunist who likes to identify herself as a digital nomad. She is a big believer that anyone who is interested in investing overseas should do it as she has also found success in foreign short term rental management.
