<itunes:summary><![CDATA[After 7 years of being obsessed with freedom, bestselling author, TEDx speaker and Chief Adventurer of the multiple six-figure business 'The Suitcase Entrepreneur', Natalie Sisson realised even though she had finally earned a ton of freedom, she didn't truly understand what it meant.
So in 2017 she is embarking on a Quest for Freedom, designed to help her, and you, discover what freedom really means.
She's taking a business sabbatical, and putting all her years experience of coaching others to build freedom businesses, into the hands of her small but talented team, her systems and sales funnels, to see if they will stand the test of time, so that Natalie can fire herself from her business in April.
Join Natalie on her year of becoming a student of life. Each season she'll experiment with a new facet of freedom including personal, physical, relationship and financial freedom, with herself as the guinea pig. Full details at http://nataliesisson.com]]></itunes:summary>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Getting crystal clear on what you want in your life is the key to everything.

How do we even start to narrow down all the potential paths?</p> <p>The idea that clarity equals action is the foundation of the first stage of my Freedom Plan program.</p> <p>In addition to some mindset exercises, I ask my Freedom Plan members to plan out their perfect day and their vision for their life three years down the road (written in the present tense).</p> <p>I've seen these simple exercises take my community members from overwhelmed to making leaps and bounds towards the life they've always wanted.</p> <p>In this episode, Frida Kabo talks about how she got clear on what she really wanted and took consistent action over time to overhaul her life and create a business that means the world to her. She discusses the a-ha moments she had while redesigning her life through The Freedom Plan program.</p> <p><strong>Listen in to this episode to learn about:</strong></p> <ul> <li>How clarity is the greatest motivator</li> <li>Why it's never too late to dream big</li> <li>How to turn overwhelm into action</li> <li>Why it's important to do the foundational work first</li> </ul> <p>Subscribe: <a title="Subscribe on iTunes" href= "itms://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-suitcase-entrepreneur/id439165878?mt=2&ls=1" rel="nofollow">iTunes</a> | <a title="Subscribe on Android" href= "http://subscribeonandroid.com/suitcaseentrepreneur.com/feed/podcast/" rel="nofollow">Android</a> | <a title="Subscribe via RSS" href= "http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/feed/podcast/" rel= "nofollow">RSS</a></p> <p>[Tweet "Is your 3-year plan crystal clear?"]</p> <p><strong>Key Resources I mention or add value to this podcast:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Learn more about <a href="http://www.fridakabo.com">Frida</a> Kabo</li> <li>Ready to get started on your Freedom Plan?

<description><![CDATA[<p>It's so easy to run ourselves into the ground as busy, passionate entrepreneurs by working too hard and not looking after our health.</p> <p>But, that really doesn't make sense, if you think about it, because if we're not taking care of ourselves, we can't do our best work.</p> <p>We have less focus, less energy, poorer sleep and more stress when we don't prioritize our health.</p> <p>That's why I brought in Karen Wojciechowski to tell us how to turn our lives around.</p> <p>Karen is an integrated health coach that took my Freedom Plan in 2014 and has since put her freedom business in place. She travels the world while helping people be as healthy and energetic as they can be.</p> <p>In today's podcast, Karen and I chat about her journey of putting her Freedom Plan in place, some of the stumbling blocks she's overcome, and how traveling and working with her husband has evolved over the past two years.</p> <p><strong>Listen in to this episode to learn about:</strong></p> <ul> <li>How to have health AND travel AND your own business</li> <li>Why prioritizing health is crucial for your business</li> <li>How goals shift as you build your location independent business</li> <li>Why gratitude is imperative to all Freedomists</li> </ul> <p>Subscribe: <a title="Subscribe on iTunes" href= "itms://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-suitcase-entrepreneur/id439165878?mt=2&ls=1" rel="nofollow">iTunes</a> | <a title="Subscribe on Android" href= "http://subscribeonandroid.com/suitcaseentrepreneur.com/feed/podcast/" rel="nofollow">Android</a> | <a title="Subscribe via RSS" href= "http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/feed/podcast/" rel= "nofollow">RSS</a></p> <p>[Tweet "Do your health habits support your Freedom Plan?"]</p> <p><strong>Key Resources I mention or add value to this podcast:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/realenergyfood/">Connect with Karen</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.thefreedomplan.rocks/now">The Freedom Plan</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.yogaglo.com/">YogaGlo</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.12minuteathlete.com/">12 Minute Athlete</a></li> <li><a href="http://7-min.com/">7 Minute Workout</a></li> </ul> <h3 dir="ltr">Want reliable hosting for your blog and website at 50% off?</h3> <p><img class="alignleft wp-image-26195" src= "http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Hostgator.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px" srcset= "http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Hostgator-150x140.jpg 150w, http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Hostgator-300x280.jpg 300w, http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Hostgator-166x155.jpg 166w, http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Hostgator.jpg 302w" alt="Hostgator" width="222" height="207" /><a href= "http://hostgator.com/suitcase">HostGator</a> is your one-stop shop for all things web hosting.

<description><![CDATA[<p>I built my entire business on social media. It is one of the
most effective, powerful and lucrative tools that I use to create
and maintain my community.</p>
<p>But, I recently realized that just because I've been doing it
for years, doesn't mean that I'm the best person to create the
strategy and oversee all the details. In fact, I'm probably not the
best person at all.</p>
<p>This is the power of outsourcing.</p>
<p>In today's episode, I take you behind the scenes of my business
and let you in on a weekly team meeting that I have with Desiree
Fawn of Kitz and Co, my new Social Media and Community
Rockstar.</p>
<p>We discuss Twitter chats, Periscope, and tracking and
metrics.</p>
<p>But more than that, I talk about how important it is to let go
of pieces of your business that just don't make sense for you to
hold onto. In building a team, my business is able to grow in ways
that I couldn't do on my own while also freeing up my time to focus
more on the things that I love.</p>
<p>So, join me in today's Fresh in Fifteen episode where I open up
the back end of my business by bringing you into a weekly chat that
I have with my Social Media and Community Rockstar, Desiree
Fawn.</p>
<p>Listen in to this episode to learn about:</p>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Why having a fresh perspective in your business is SO
important</li>
<li>The power of outsourcing</li>
<li>How to use Twitter chat to build your list</li>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I’ll be honest…</p>
<p>There seems to be a new social media network trend every
day.</p>
<p>This provides a double-edge sword because while these networks
can help us scale our businesses and message, but can also become a
huge distraction when allowed.</p>
<p>One of the things I love most about Melissa Ramos, today's
guest, is that she has figured out an efficient method for rigging
the social networks she’s using into part of her marketing funnel
that lets her attract more customers.</p>
<p>On top of that, she’s able to reach more people suffering from
the problem her business helps with:</p>
<p>Melissa is the founder of Sexy Food Therapy, where she helps
women heal through hormones and digestion in a humorous way.</p>
<p>If you have a message that the world needs to hear, then Melissa
will help show you the way!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What you’ll learn in this podcast:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li class="c2"><span class="c1">How to leverage your personal story
to set your brand (and message) apart from others in a highly
competitive industry</span></li>
<li class="c2"><span class="c1">What to do if your audience isn’t
receptive to a product offering</span></li>
<li class="c2"><span class="c1">A little question you can ask
yourself that helps prepare you for major leaps and
achievements</span></li>
<li class="c2"><span class="c1">A simple (but effective) way to
setup a membership site</span></li>
<li class="c2"><span class="c1">How to view your social media
efforts (and make your efforts one cohesive strategy)</span></li>
<li class="c2"><span class="c1">How to make your video filming
process into an easy-to-follow template</span></li>
<li class="c2"><span class="c1">What to do if you are looking to
scale your time and efforts (and how to know when it is the right
time)</span></li>
<li class="c2"><span class="c1">Why you should look at your sales
funnel as a ‘octopus’</span></li>

<p>Did you know that some unbelievable number like 90% of people want to write and publish a book?!</p>
<p>The great news is these days it's possible to have your book fully funded before you write a single page. How is that even possible?</p>
<p>Why the beauty of crowdfunding, of course!</p>
<p>Back in 2013, I crowdfunded my Suitcase Entrepreneur book on Kickstarter and it got 122% over-funded and was one of the best decisions I ever made.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it's the reason it became a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Suitcase-Entrepreneur-freedom-business-adventure/dp/0473251248/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461212175&sr=8-1&keywords=suitcase+entrepreneur" target="_blank">No #1 Bestseller on Amazon</a> too because of the support behind it from that campaign and the marketing and visibility it provided.</p>
<p>I recently decided to it again but on a very cool platform that matches authors with publishers and combines it with crowdfunding.</p>
<p><a href="https://publishizer.com/the-freedom-plan/" target="_blank">I launched my Publishizer campaign to fund my next book project, The Freedom Plan</a>, and it was fully funded <span tabindex="0" data-term="goog_101714250">within 15 days</span> (and yes you can still pre-order as I'd love to hit 200%!).</p>
<p>The number one reason that it has been so successful is, without a doubt, social media. Not only the individual platforms we've strategically used to promote it on like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram but also the community I've built thanks to social media.</p>
<p>In today’s Fresh in Fifteen episode, I talk about how using heartfelt storytelling, consistency, and leveraging Instagram in a new way I was able to get my book funded so quickly.</p>
<p>Listen in to this episode (that is the first one I've recorded directly via a live BLAB!) to learn exactly how to:</p>

<ul>
<li>Understand and learn about Publishizer as a tool to launch your book</li>
<li>Leverage social media for your next book project to get more reach and support</li>

<title>[253] How to Grow and Monetize Your Blog Even When You Feel Like Giving Up</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I credit this wonderful blog to beginning my entire business. First I started with just a blog, a passion yet hobby.</p>
<p>Until the day my cofounder at the tech company we had suggested since I loved it so much, and since I seemed to be doing a great job of it, maybe I should consider doing it full time.</p>
<p>I'll never forget that day as it changed the course of my history. Essentially it saw me leave our startup and go out on my own.</p>
<p>I'd love to say it was all roses and unicorns from that day on but we all know that's not true. It was bloody hard work. Long days of learning how to be a better blogger, understanding the art of a great blog post, building a community one painful day at a time.</p>
<p>I'd check my stats daily to see how many visitors had come, if just ONE person had left a comment and I'd do everything in my power to turn up, be consistent, get better and get the word out.</p>
<p>It took 6 months to start seeing any results, which is why in this Fresh in Fifteen episode I answered a listener question from Jonathan on this very topic - because I know how feels, and I imagine you may feel like this too:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"<em>I just wanted to ask you about, early on did you ever want to quit and I'll give you a reason why I asked that. I started a website and I've noticed some small success through Amazon affiliates and I just feel like I write the best content, I spend all these hours doing it and nobody cares. I see a little bit of success. Maybe $20 a month income off 1 article that did well on it's own because I got lucky. And I just think I am doing everything I should be but I am doing it all wrong. I know your busy but can you guide me to finding my problems?"</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Listen in to this episode to learn:</p>
<ul>
<li>My key piece of advice to Jonathan and to you, to understand the ONE key thing you can do to get more traffic and readers of your blog that so many people make the mistake of not doing.</li>
<li>The key resources for blogging advice I used when starting out and still do to this very day.</li>
<li>What I suggest for Jonathan's blog in a live website/ blog review!</li>
</ul>

<p>Until the day my cofounder at the tech company we had suggested since I loved it so much, and since I seemed to be doing a great job of it, maybe I should consider doing it full time.</p>
<p>I'll never forget that day as it changed the course of my history. Essentially it saw me leave our startup and go out on my own.</p>
<p>I'd love to say it was all roses and unicorns from that day on but we all know that's not true. It was bloody hard work. Long days of learning how to be a better blogger, understanding the art of a great blog post, building a community one painful day at a time.</p>
<p>I'd check my stats daily to see how many visitors had come, if just ONE person had left a comment and I'd do everything in my power to turn up, be consistent, get better and get the word out.</p>
<p>It took 6 months to start seeing any results, which is why in this Fresh in Fifteen episode I answered a listener question from Jonathan on this very topic - because I know how feels, and I imagine you may feel like this too:</p>
<p>"<em>I just wanted to ask you about, early on did you ever want to quit and I'll give you a reason why I asked that. I started a website and I've noticed some small success through Amazon affiliates and I just feel like I write the best content, I spend all these hours doing it and nobody cares. I see a little bit of success. Maybe $20 a month income off 1 article that did well on it's own because I got lucky. And I just think I am doing everything I should be but I am doing it all wrong. I know your busy but can you guide me to finding my problems?"</em></p>
<p>Listen in to this episode to learn:</p>
<ul>
<li>My key piece of advice to Jonathan and to you, to understand the ONE key thing you can do to get more traffic and readers of your blog that so many people make the mistake of not doing.</li>
<li>The key resources for blogging advice I used when starting out and still do to this very day.</li>
<li>What I suggest for Jonathan's blog in a live website/ blog review!</li>
</ul>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Social media is a great tool and an absolute must if you want to grow your business, get more visibility and build a really engaged tribe.</p>
<p>I've been a social media convert since I first started using Facebook in 2005 but back then things were different and nobody realized or knew how major this platform would be from a business building point of view.</p>
<p>And if you still believe Social Media is a fad (yes people used to say that for years) then you're living in the dark ages and missing out on the most powerful platform builder there is right now at little to no cost to you!</p>
<p>This Fresh in Fifteen episode is partly inspired by a recent post of Dan Norris about Social Media Trends in 2016 where I think he hit home on several points about which sites are winning and losing right now.</p>
<p>As we roll into April on the podcast I've got a great line up of interviews from entrepreneurs crushing it on specific social media platforms for you to learn from.</p>
<p>To kick it all off I share which sites are hot and working for me and others right now, and which ones are on the out or need to up their game.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Like any online entrepreneur I love me some gadgets, tools and new technology and I see them as an investment in my business too.</p>
<p>And there's nothing like dropping your perfectly good iPhone 6 Plus down the toilet (by mistake) to make you start again from scratch when you're setting up your new replacement phone.</p>
<p>I've taken a good hard look at the apps I was using versus what I actually use every single day, and which ones I MUST have and which ones are really just for show.</p>
<p>As you know I'm also about minimalism and only working with what you need, so in today's Fresh in Fifteen episode I basically reveal exactly which apps I have on my phone, that sync also with my new iPad Air 2 and my MacBook and how I work with them.</p>
<p>Plus I share some cool new gadgets I've purchased that I think every lifestyle entrepreneur should consider, especially if you run your business predominantly online and work from anywhere.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>One of the best parts about having a business that allows you to work from anywhere is getting to experience different cultures.</p>
<p>And with different cultures also come different laws you must abide by, including tax laws.</p>
<p>Today’s guest not only has a business he can run from anywhere, but he also helps other location independent business owners make sure they don’t pay more taxes than they need to (and stay within the law).</p>
<p>David McKeegan, co-founder and owner of Greenback Expat Tax Services, supports business owners who live outside their native country by simplifying the tax process and giving them peace of mind so that they can focus on what they do best.</p>
<p>In today’s show, David sheds light on what to look out for when you’re traveling for extensive periods of time, and shares financial tips to improve your freedom lifestyle.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>March is all about what it takes to work from anywhere over on my podcast and blog.</p>
<p>The mindset...the systems...and the tools.</p>
<p>If you were to ask your friends, most of them would say that they wish they could travel more.</p>

<p>In this show, we get to hear from Professional Traveler (yes, that exists!), Travis Sherry.</p>
<p>As a travel hacker, Travis reveals how jumping around from country to country can be affordable, and how you can have more authentic travel experiences without breaking the bank.</p>
<p>He also shares how to balance life and business so that you can enjoy yourself more while exploring the world.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ask the average person and they'll probably tell you that they'd prefer to be doing something other than sitting in their office at a 9-5 job. .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When FlexJobs surveyed 2,600 office employees in August 2015, the majority said they actually prefer doing their most important tasks outside of the office.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a separate survey respondents said their overall wellbeing (including health and relationships) was better when they had the </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Digital nomads and location independents like me (and probably you if you're reading my blog) are a fast growing sub-sector of the population who work remotely, and believe just that.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We've designed our ideal lifestyle by utilizing the increasingly mobile technology that's available, allowing us to work on the go from anywhere in the world that we currently desire. New York? The beach in Bali? The world is our oyster.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All we really need is a laptop, internet connection, and a business model that lets us work from anywhere or a boss with some faith.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The rise of this modern nomadic lifestyle has been covered extensively in a new infographic from </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bargain Fox</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">SavvyBeaver</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It reveals that in 1990 only around 5% of the US population were "freelancers" and back then this meant somebody fortunate enough to have a computer and dial-up internet at home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today as we approach 30%, many freelancers are not just trading the dull office cubicle for the spare room at home, they're trading both for experiences further afield.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Digital nomads include everyone from the high powered entrepreneur to your average freelance programmer. What's exciting is that because technology is so accessible even those at the lowest end of the pay grade are still able to make it work.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It's not just a freelancer's world either. An increasing number of large companies are employing people remotely and allowing them to be nomads.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take my fave accommodation marketplace <a href="http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/air-bnb">AirBNB</a>. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their workforce is 50% remote. Viral news website BuzzFeed also has half of their employees working from wherever they desire.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Automattic - the company behind leading blogging software Wordpress - are one of the first to adopt a 100% remote workforce. They don't even have an office and stay in contact with employees through their own online message board.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Employees couldn't be happier with the self autonomy provided by remote work, whereas the company itself benefits from being able to hire anybody from around the world, rather than somebody who can commute to the workplace. They also save a great amount of money by not having to pay for an office space.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Indeed, the future for the digital nomad and distributed workforces looks bright. Experts believe that by 2030 nearly half of the US working population could fit that mould and I imagine that will apply in many other western countries too and emerging economies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Advances in technology will make the whole process easier, with faster and broader internet coverage, cheaper and faster travel (and completely new modes of transport as well). Supportive online communities and apps are also set to grow.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even those that need a few extra facilities beyond their laptop are being catered to with co-working spaces that are open to anyone passing through.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you (like many people out there) dread getting up in the morning to go to the office, chances are that soon you simply won't have to. </span></p>
<p>Especially after you listen in to my podcast where I talk you through a case study of working on your business from Bali vs London and all the factors you can consider to choose where you'd start and grow a business... some points may surprise you!</p>

<title>[243] Living the Digital Nomad Lifestyle</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I don't talk about this topic a lot on the blog (and that's going to change this month with the focus being on how to live and work from anywhere), but obviously, with the business I set up from the get go my aim was to be fully location independent.</p>
<p>I'm a long time Digital Nomad and yet to many people this term is a relatively new concept to them. Essentially it means living and working from anywhere using online tools, the Internet and your laptop and smartphone.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oQsYDIFKB8">In my recent interview on 60 minutes New Zealand </a> I clearly stated that this type of lifestyle is not for everybody. It takes a certain type of person to be ok with managing change, having no base, isolation, being away from friends and family, being on the move, and in a state of constant pack.</p>
<p>The pros though I think far outweigh the cons. And speaking at the recent DNX Digital Nomad Conference in Bangkok, I was thrilled to be surrounded by 'my peeps' who live and breathe this lifestyle.</p>
<p>And now, more than ever, with the tools and services available to entrepreneurs and travellers alike, the possibilities and opportunities are endless, and the freedom you can gain from living this way is amazing.</p>
<p>Here on the Suitcase Entrepreneur I show you how to take your existing skills and experiences and turn them into offerings that people will value, thereby monetizing yourself and creating a business that you can take on the road.</p>
<p>Remember, it may take a while to get there but it's totally possible to achieve if you really, really want it.</p>
<p>In this podcast I am flipping the experience by sharing ME BEING interviewed by Lisa Cypers Kamen on the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>My thoughts on the digital nomad lifestyle</li>
<li>How experiences provide more social value than material</li>
<li>Why we derive more enduring happiness from experiences than the material</li>
<li>What is a digital nomad?</li>
<li>How to run your business from anywhere in the world and live your dream lifestyle</li>
</ul>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The more value you add, the more likely it will be for them to open their wallets.</span></p>
<p>Virtual summits are one of the most effective ways for you to not only explain your product, but also build up the value of what you’re offering.</p>
<p>It also gives you the opportunity to use time-sensitive incentives to persuade potential customers while you have their attention.</p>
<p>Navid Moazzez discovered the power of virtual summits a few years ago (and has become very successful because of it).</p>
<p>Navid is the founder of the Virtual Summit Mastery, a personal branding strategist, and a blogger.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this show, he shares his journey from being close to working a job he didn’t like to finding massive success online, along with helpful tips if you’re considering using virtual summits to scale your reach.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>There's one asset in running a business, that if you've got it, you should flaunt it.</p>
<p>And that is credibility baby.</p>
<p>Getting it in the first place, and growing it though, takes time, integrity and consistency. And I feel there are too few people (especially in 'my online space') that live and breathe credibility.</p>
<p>Selling your products and services (especially online) means that you and your business needs to be trustworthy, authoritative and most importantly, credible.</p>
<p>That's even more important when you are competing against hundreds of other online businesses for your customers money and you have a product or service that is extremely similar to your competitors. Then it comes down to who's got more credibility.</p>
<p>In this podcast I reveal the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>The first step toward becoming a credible entrepreneur</li>
<li>What defines a credible person</li>
<li>How to gain credibility and keep it</li>

Every time I listen I come away with idea that I can integrate in to my business or life plan to make it even more "sweet", and the action plans are an invaluable tool.</p>]]></content:encoded>
