🍷 Meet Chelsea Andreozzi, Wine and Spirits Import Strategist! 🍷

Before OTLA:
Chelsea was grinding long hours for a large US importer, wearing multiple hats and facing SEVERE burnout.

Enter OTLA:
Chelsea gained the confidence to launch her own business.

She left her job, turned her old employer into her first client, and started attracting her DREAM clients in the industry she loves.

Now, Chelsea is making 12k+ a month, with way more time and freedom.

And the burnout?

It’s melting away, and she’s enjoying life again—time for family, friends, and creativity. So freaking awesome!

The truth is…

Not every relationship is meant to last forever, and that's okay.

Sometimes the hardest thing is realizing it's time to let go and move forward.

But if you want to grow, if you want to step into the future you’ve been dreaming of, you gotta make room for it!

Holding on to what no longer aligns with your path will only keep you playing small.

So, take a deep breath, trust the process, and let go.

Who knows, maybe the paths will cross again. 💫

Transformation begins when you admit what’s not working and commit to change.

Be bold, be brave, and chase the life that truly fulfills you. 💫

🌟 Meet Caitlin Gold, Operations and Tech Stack Consultant! 🌟

Caitlin was balancing a part-time job and an acting career when she joined OTLA...

Not sure if she could even start a business.

But with a drive for freedom and flexibility, OTLA helped her build a thriving company that let her say BYE to her part-time job.

Now, she helps small businesses and startups streamline their operations, making things run smoother and scale faster.

WAKING UP FROM THE ACCIDENTAL AND UNCONSCIOUS

Sometimes our circumstances shift slow enough that we don’t notice the change… and then over time we wonder WTF happened. Like “HOW did I get HERE?!”

My dad used to tell me that if you get a frog and put it in hot water, it will jump out. But if you put the frog in body temperature water and slowly turn up the heat, the frog won’t notice, and will die eventually.

TRUE STORIES

1️⃣ In the honeymoon period everything was GREAT with my boyfriend-turned-first-husband. It didn’t start out toxic, unworkable, controlling, etc. It happened over time, over 13 years. And by the time I realized the unworkability, I felt that I had invested so much time that I struggled letting go

2️⃣ It’s not like my corporate job started off with a promotion in title and not it pay, my best ideas never seeing the light of day, the 60-70 hour work weeks… the shift into no work life balance happened incrementally

3️⃣ While I was going 100mph building a 7-figure business last year, I was so focused on the external (the revenue, the $100K months, etc) it’s not like I noticed the constant overuse of masculine energy was wreaking havoc on my nervous system (OMG let’s get real, THAT issue was a slow shift over decades)

THE POINT

There is often an inevitable moment when we realize the life we are living isn't the life we desire. The question is are we willing to recognize that nevertheless it is a life by our own DESIGN 😦.

And that's the moment then we can choose to RISE.

To do the WORK on ourselves, to release our inner WARRIOR. That part of us that rises to the occasion.

The part of us that looks at the games that we have been playing and chooses to invent all new games.

Screw only getting 2 weeks. THAT, my friend is called “laptop lifestyle”. It’s when you untether yourself from an office and have LOCATION freedom. Meaning you can work anywhere you want in the world.

In fact… when I work away from home I actually find myself more potent, more inspired, more creative. By changing my environment, it allows me to see things, business, others, even myself differently.

You do NOT have to stick around in some job that you hate because you are “supposed to” or because it seems safe (I mean take a look around, does ANYTHING about a job, layoffs, or inflation feel safe?)

Starting your own business means YOU are in control. YOU are behind the wheel. You get to make the money you want and give yourself a raise when you want.

💼 If you create a business that runs off the internet, a phone, and computer (psssst! As in consulting, fractional work, or coaching) then you also have GEOGRAPHIC FREEDOM.

Work from anywhere, anytime.

THIS is REAL FREEDOM.

This is what 💻Laptop Lifestyle is all about.

If you wanna have total control, work anywhere anytime, and live the FREEDOM on Laptop Lifestyle, I’ll help you FLY. Just took a month traveling, doing Laptop Lifestyle and ready to transmit to you.

Throwing it back a day in my life from last summer when I was in London with my two business partners and kids!

Now this was not a typical day, this WAS a typical workcation day though.

It was an opportunity for me to connect on business and also reconnect with myself and my kids.

Most people don’t like to mix business with pleasure but I say a two week vacation is way too short— so why not work AND vacation.

AKA get to travel, A LOT.

Because I'm my own boss, I get to call the shots on
🕛 when I work
✈️ where I work
👩🏻 who I work with
💼 what projects I do

My coworkers are my best friends, and my collaborators become my new friends.

I work anywhere that I want so that I can rest and relax but also PUSH THE LIMITS of what is possible and discover a new “normal”.

FYI - I’m hosting a masterclass THIS SATURDAY 8/3 at 9am PST, on how you can make a a reality for you! Sign up now for only $22 ➡️ https://i.mtr.cool/ympghbhmou

🤑 Free from the worry of money or spending…

I recently spoke to a woman who wished she could stop worrying about money and feeling limited in her family's experiences. She wanted to take her kids to Disneyland but kept rationalizing that Busch Gardens was basically the same and if she did go, then she’d worry about packing snacks so it wouldn’t be so expensive to eat.

The worry and contraction around money and spending is an experience that many of us have…It's a scarcity mindset we often inherit from our families and may be stronger in immigrant or minority families.

For me, Patagonia has always been a luxury outdoor brand, and no way I would justify splurging on it. I resisted it so much that I even scoffed at it (just shows how sometimes we judge what we really want and feel we can't have 🙄).

The past weekend, I was packing for my current family trip to Europe. The forecast called for cold weather and I didn't have a light warm, packable jacket.

Sure, I could go to Uniqlo or get a cheap one on Amazon. But then I came across a Patagonia store, went in, and saw how great the jacket fit, the sustainable materials, etc and just thought “why not?!” and realized that I didn’t even look at the price, because I don’t need to. This is a huge win.

I'm not saying it's fine to blow money (though if that's your vibe, go for it 😂). The real win is realizing I could afford it, no matter the price. For most of my 50 years, I've always looked at prices and rationalized purchases, a habit ingrained since childhood. There's freedom in knowing you have the financial means.

My question to you is, if you don't have financial freedom yet, what are you doing now to ensure abundance for yourself and your family?

If you're done with the shenanigans of climbing the corporate ladder and ready to liberate yourself and become your own boss as a freelancer, consultant (fractional), or coach… then let’s get you rocking! DM me and let’s connect ❤️
