In this episode, Camille shares the five traits that most predict success in remote work or running an online business. Drawing from a decade of coaching thousands of people, she explains how to thrive in digital environments, adapt to change, and build momentum—especially if you’re 50+.

Episode Highlights:

  • Digital adaptability The win is flexibility with constant platform changes and AI updates, not mastery of one tool. You do NOT need to be tech savvy!
  • Growth mindset + curiosity. Replace stagnation with experimentation, self-teaching, and community-based learning.
  • Excitement and engagement. Contribute to virtual culture on Zoom, Slack, and PM tools; engage at a sustainable cadence.
  • Patience. Expect outages, updates, and friction; use AI to troubleshoot and keep moving.
  • Positive self-talk. Track your internal dialogue and challenge “I can’t” narratives with evidence and reframing.

Key Takeaways:

  • Success online is driven by traits, not credentials. Skills can be learned fast once mindset is aligned.
  • Engage in digital culture to be seen, supported, and accelerated.
  • Use AI as your first-line helper for roadblocks and learning paths.
  • Hiring managers and clients notice these traits across your resume, LinkedIn, and interviews.
