Welcome to Create Your Laptop Life.
We are a group of entrepreneurs who work and live…right from our laptops.
We don’t have traditional 9-5 jobs, and we don’t want them, because financial + lifestyle freedom is too important to us. Because we don’t work the corporate grind, we get to be the boss of our own schedule, take vacations whenever we want, and make our work revolve around life, not the other way around.
Most of our old bosses scoff at our plans, sure we’ll be crawling back for a job within a month’s time, but it won’t happen. Because we know the world is changing, for good – and the freelance economy is the new cleaner, greener, smarter way to work – for both families and businesses.
Here are the people that keep this group, tribe, and company alive!
Julie Stoian – Owner & CEO
It’s taken me a long time to come to terms with the fact that I’m addicted to challenge. The harder a problem, the more I want to solve it. This may be the only way to explain the other issue I have…which is…I have too many projects on my plate at one time, always.
But let me back up a minute. My name is Julie, and I am the owner of Create Your Laptop Life®. Here’s the part where I say I’m a “consultant” or a “coach” or a “designer” or a “marketer” or a “sales funnel strategist”, but I’m having a hard time with one word.
In essence, I’m potentially your new best friend, or your worst nightmare.
If you hang out with me, you’ll never be bored. I love to educate people about tech, marketing, and online business. Right now, I primarily teach and mentor business owners in the art and science of Digital Marketing here at Create Your Laptop Life®. I also oversee and run a thriving 1,600 member paid community (and to get a taste you can join our free 28,000+ version on Facebook here).
The long and short of it is… I teach business owners how to market themselves online, make money, and live big, bold, and brave lives.
I’m available for coaching, mentorship, and speaking opportunities but…You should know…I wear purple crocs everyday to keep me grounded in reality.
Emily Volz
Business Manager & Digital Insiders Systems + Finance Coach
Hey!
I’m Emily… I started in the online space in 2016 after learning about “Virtual Assistants” at the dog park one day! I was struggling to find work that I enjoyed and paid me a fair wage, so when I heard about the online world of business I jumped right in.
I joined Create Your Laptop Life later that year and after an in-person meetup dinner in Connecticut, Julie hired me as her bookkeeper. Since then my role has grown and evolved, and now I manage the operations and finances of her business.
My favorite thing about the laptop life is the freedom I have to travel and see the world, all while working and supporting myself. I love the community Julie has nurtured over the years and the variety of endeavors we’re all involved in!
Thanks for checking it out and I look forward to connecting with you!
Holly Tillman
CYLL Manager
Hey there, I’m Holly! I’m the program manager for Create Your Laptop Life. I handle new accounts, cancellations, special accommodations and really anything else that comes up. I love working with people and providing an excellent experience to each and every member.
I come from a diverse career background. I’ve previously worked as an ER tech, a flight attendant, an EMT, ground medical transport crew, to name a few… and all roads have lead to the same common theme – providing the highest quality support to those in need.
I’m great at multi-tasking, project managing and handling those challenging situations with ease and grace. Clients come to me when they want to provide their users with the best experience possible. I am also a whiz at managing business strategy and ensuring smooth operations.
Create Your Laptop Life has allowed me to quit my 9-5 and live the dream, remotely. I joined Julie’s team in 2018 and it’s a dream come true to work with and manage the CYLL community. It’s a team of dreamers and doers, and those are the people I love to surround myself with!
Jessie Valle
CYLL Support Team & Digital Insiders Tech Coach
Hello! I’m Jessie, the resident techie. I’m a digital marketing tech coach and sales funnel building expert, specializing in ClickFunnels and automating systems.
I spent six years as a classroom teacher and became known for my integration of technology in the classroom. Earning a Masters degree in Educational Technology, I decided to take my tech and teaching skills online so I could stay home with my children.
I was one of the original 30 Create Your Laptop Lifers, so I’m pretty good at knowing where everything’s at!
Today around Create Your Laptop Life, you’ll find me knee-deep in all things technology, digital marketing, and daily systems. You’ll also see me supporting Julie in all her programs including offering 1:1 tech training for her Digital Insiders. I’m thrilled to be a part of such an incredible community.
We are all here because we love helping people create the laptop life they dream about. Please don’t hesitate to email any of us at support@createyourlaptoplife.com or catch us in our free Facebook Group and we will get back to you right away.
