Adjust based on feedback and results Example: Midway through the course, Ami shifted from a generic finance service to a coaching model that blends her psychology background with chartered accounting.
Why set up a limited company early?
Ami learned three compelling reasons—even as a solo operator.
Tax efficiencies: Mix salary with dividends to maximize take-home pay
Limited liability: Protect personal assets from business risks
Prestige and perception: Appear more credible to clients and investors Pro tip: While £25K earnings is a common threshold, consider going limited sooner if your growth trajectory justifies the extra paperwork.
The mindset that fuels digital nomad success Passion without action stays a dream.
Embrace “one step at a time” momentum: start, then start again
