Who is Natalie Sisson?

A big warm welcome to you. I’m Natalie Sisson and I’m honored you’re here!

I like to call myself the Suitcase Entrepreneur because since 2006, when I left my hometown New Zealand, I’ve been traveling the world and living out of my suitcase.

This is me. Natalie Sisson.

My friends call me an adventurer (others use the word nutter) because I have a motto of living life to the fullest. I’m a passionate Integrated Marketer with over 10 years of corporate experience in marketing, communications, brand and product management for some major companies in New Zealand, England and Canada across the widest variety of industries.

I’m a lover and early adopter of online tools with a 5+ year addiction to social media. I’m addicted to Ultimate Frisbee – yes I chase a plastic disc around a field and I hope to never stop! Throw into the mix modeling, TV presenting, Moto-x racing, tennis, netball, triathlons, sailing, and you get the kind of person I am. A multi-faceted multi-passionate woman intent on changing my world, and yours for the better. I love learning and then passing on that knowledge here. I heart entrepreneurship, and especially the rise of women.

How My Journey Began:

In late 2009, I was a cofounder of a cool tech company and I found that there was a significant lack of women entrepreneurs and CEOs, especially in technology. Now don’t get me wrong, I think men are great and I’ve learned a lot from their expertise. But I also knew that women approach business differently, and have certain strengths and qualities that I wanted to emulate, know more about and interact with.

It seemed like having a platform from which to connect with them and interview them was a no-brainer. So I created my wonderful blog WomanzWorld to chart my journey as an entrepreneur and to learn from other amazing women entrepreneurs. I love the entrepreneurship world, and no matter how challenging it might be, I know it’s the only way for me.

My entire life fits in this red suitcase & green laptop bag.

Fast forward to April 2010 and I decided to take what had become an overriding passion in my life, and turn it into a business. In December of that year, I rebranded to The Suitcase Entrepreneur to better fit the niche I’m focused on – those wanting freedom in business and adventure in life.

I’m talking about those of you who want to make money doing what you love and using your skills and talent and turn that into and do that from anywhere in the world.

There has never been a better time than now to live this lifestyle thanks to the myriad of amazing online tools available to us as well as social media and ‘worldsourcing’  - it’s totally achievable.

I’m here to help you realize that business CAN BE FUN and you can do it from anywhere in the world if you really want to. Open your mind, jump on board and join me on my journey to awesomeville.

My Mission:

To blow the top off history and create a movement where women court bolder dreams and turn them into reality by starting their own 6 figure online businesses. A world where women want to shape and change the way in which we do business. Watch out world.

Here are the three main ways I can work with you to live the life you’ve always wanted:

Rapid Results Coaching

Work with me exclusively to turn your passions, talents and skills into a viable online business that you can take with you anywhere. I specialise in helping you find clarity and an action plan to build your online business, brand story, revenue streams and client base from 0 to 6 figures. Limited spots are available. Take action today.

Social Media Coaching

I’ve built my business on social media so I’m a huge advocate for how you can use it to grow yours too. I refer to social media as my marketing, sales and customer service department rolled into one. It’s also an incredible place to connect with amazing people and find an abundance of opportunities. From setting up profiles through to strategic campaigns and calculating your return on investment, I work with individuals and businesses to define their path to social media success.

I also offer up an Online Social Media Bootcamp product that covers all you need to know to get started in using the Top 5 Social Media Tools for business with workout guides and how to videos.

Plus you can join the Social Media Club – a monthly accountability and mastermind club where I offer up the latest tips, tricks, how-to and strategies to apply to your business.

Using Online Tools To Build Systems and Freedom

I’m proud to present my Ultimate Toolkit for Evolutionary Entrepreneurs – both a guide and a premium site that showcases the best of the best free and paid tools to save you time and money.

The Passport to Business Freedom Program is a business design makeover where you learn from the experts I’ve interviewed and work through 8 modules to take your business to the next level – no matter where you’re at.
