I make up to $13,000 a month from my digital-marketing business and still have the flexibility to travel and snowboard — here's how I built it
My original plan was to become a smokejumper, a type of wildland firefighter who enters the fire by parachute, but I decided for my health to leave firefighting behind and focus on my digital-marketing agency.
