How To Build A Remote Career Abroad
Without Teaching English Or Living Off Savings.
Breaking down the skill that lets English-speaking expats work from anywhere.
Four things most expats have never been shown
How this skill is quietly replacing teaching English and online businesses, and the 5 steps you need to follow to step into it.
My framework that makes enrollment conversations feel natural, and how you can close calls with integrity, even with no sales background.
Why NOW is the right time to build a stable remote career on your terms, before the demand for ethical, empathy-driven advisors gets crowded.
An honest look at whether this fits you
This is for you if…
- You’re living abroad (or planning to) and the income piece isn’t solid yet
- You’ve tried teaching English, freelancing, or online businesses and it’s not adding up
- You want a real, respected profession, not a get-rich-quick promise
- You value being honest with people more than being persuasive
- You’re ready to learn a skill properly, step by step
This isn’t for you if…
- You want passive income or money on autopilot
- You’re looking for a quick fix, not a career
- You’re not open to feedback on real conversations you record
- You think sales means pressure, scripts, or convincing people
- You’re not in a place to commit to the training

Hi, I’m Lara
Your Host & Head Trainer At The Empath Closing School
Whether you found me through my Thailand story or you’ve been quietly searching for a real way to earn a Western income abroad, I’m glad you’re here. I built this training around one question: what did my younger self really need, back when I was teaching English and watching my savings shrink?
Back then, what I was really missing was three things: a proper skill worth Western pay, a way into established remote companies that were already hiring, and other expats further down the road who’d tell me the truth instead of selling me a dream.
And just like that, the pathway I now teach was born. You may have seen the freedom side, paying off my mum’s debts, re-retiring her at sixty-nine, but behind the scenes I’ve spent years turning this into a repeatable system and training over a thousand people into the same career.
If you’re ready to stop trading hours for low pay, learn a high-value skill rooted in empathy, and build a career that travels with you, you’re in the right place. Let’s get to work.
