The Meaning of “Barefoot Executive”

The Meaning of “Barefoot Executive”

Many people ask me “what does ‘The Barefoot Executive’ really mean?” Here’s my best answer…

    Really loved your definition of being barefoot. Sometimes, I believe that we DO have to give ourselves permission to live that “dream life.” Thanks for opening the awareness around what is the ideal life for me.

    Carrie – this is awesome. LOVE your definition of barefoot. I am not southern (in fact I am in central Canada) but I, too, enjoy the barefoot business lifestyle – figuratively and literally!

    Cheers to you for creating the life YOU want to live. I am pleased to say that after a lot of trial, hard work, and determination that I am doing the same.

    Great example of clarifying your big picture vision and what it looks like to you. I’m more a flip flop, bikini executive but I will spare everyone the visuals on that. I think I just work and think better outdoors beside the pool. If I’m happy, I’m creating better stuff and contributing more to the world. That’s what it’s all about.

    Live Your Dreams,

    Carrie doll!

    Ya know… I’ve paid THOUSANDS of dollars to a high priced business coach, and YOU inspire me more than he ever did.

    You and I have had a 30-second chat on a Bruce’s phone during dinner once and that was all it took. Your ENERGY is so contagious. I just love it.

    Be Barefoot and skip thru a field of daisy’s! dp

    I am working on that right now. In 45 days I move to Florida and I plan to make that home base for my business. What my barefoot looks like is simple: harmony between work and life. That means that some days like today, it is 1 AM and I am working on my dream and other days, like tomorrow, I am spending the day with my family. It means that some days I do a lot of reading, others I write for five or six hours. It means that I am beginning to figure out this web 2.0 and the advantages of twitter, facebook and youtube. It means that I am working with others to make my dreams come true and help them achieve theirs. It also means keeping my eyes on you because you are one of my role models. Keep up the good work.

    I’ve learned a lot from you and appreciate you. Wishing you all the best in life.

    Life Travels…Live your dreams!

    Thank you for being such a great inspiration.

  • Grainne Foley

    I have to say that I did wonder exactly what it meant and yes, I did think shoes might be involved but I love your explanation so much better.  As a Virtual Assistant Matchmaker, I’m a huge believer that individuals should lead the lifestyle they crave and utilizing Virtual Assistants gets them there faster:).

    Personally I love working from my office outside by my pool!

    In the beginning, I was not sure what is barefoot executive and now I am cleared. Thank you Carrie for sharing a simple message. I got your book in ebook format so that i can read during my train ride.

    Thank you Carrie. Wishes from Singapore
