Getting 5 Jobs in 5 Weeks After a 20 Month Career Break with Katrina McGhee



Ever found yourself crying in the car on the way home from work because you’re just so tired and emotionally drained from your job?

Katrina did. And after some serious unpacking and working it through she found her answer:

A Career Break.

But being a planner, she took it to the next level. Building in buffer time to re-climate to life back home and allow herself time to get a job, and saving $40,000.00 to take the trip of her dreams.

Today Katrina shares how she came to the conclusion that she needed a break, her planning and budgeting process, and more about her re-entry into the corporate world after 20 months away.

Step by Step Guide to Getting the Cheapest Flights, 2017


We’re running a Masterclass on October 24th, 2017, find out more details here.

We’ve bought a lot of flights over the years.

And you know me, I’m always in it for the best price.

So we’ve developed an almost unconscious step by step system to booking flights that can ensure that you’re getting the most bang for your buck (or mile) when you’re booking your next trip.

Heather and I go through our Step by Step process to getting the cheapest flights in today’s episode, including checking budget airlines, mistake fares, and nearby airports for cheaper flights.

And if you want to use your miles instead? We do a super quick recap of how to figure out if your flight is going to be worth it!

If you’re intrigued by today’s episode don’t forget to sign up for our Extra Pack of Peanuts Masterclass on Tuesday, October 24th! You can find more details here.
