Hey ya’ll! While Natalie is off in Samoa on a well deserved vacation, I thought I’d take this opportunity to hijack her blog and tell you a story – yes me Sabrina, Nat’s Online Freedom Business Manager.
Back in 2013 Natalie started crowdfunding for her book and was blown away by how supportive everyone was. In less than 30 days it was fully funded so she set out to write a book that would inspire people to build their dream online lifestyle business.
Fast forward to just over a year and we are very excited to announce the audiobook release of The Suitcase Entrepreneur.
That’s right, her #1 Best Selling book is coming to you in audio so you can listen to it on the go.
As you know, Natalie is all about creating freedom in business and adventure in life. This isn’t just a philosophy for her though; this is something she lives and breathes every single day. Writing this book has been a unique way for her to share a piece of that lifestyle with you.
One of the best complimentary resources to her book is her weekly Suitcase Entrepreneur podcast. For just over 2 years now Natalie has been interviewing some of the smartest minds in the online business like Pat Flynn, Laura Roeder, Chris Guillebeau and Derek Sivers.
She’s had the pleasure of discussing digital nomadism and location independence with Marianne Cantwell, Jodi Ettenberg and Dan Andrews, as well as sharing real life stories of failure, triumph and freedom with inspiring guests every week so that you can take their wisdom and apply it your life and business.
With the release of the audiobook, it only seemed fitting that we celebrate with a giveaway because let’s be real; who doesn’t love a good giveaway?
To celebrate, we are giving you the chance to win one of the following great prizes:

To make entering as simple as possible, here are a few resources for each step listed above
Here’s a list of every single podcast episode ever recorded…in order!
Do you have an online business crush? Chances are Nat’s spoken with them. Have a look through the list, listen in and share which one you liked most and why. For me, I’m a bit of a psychology nut so Episode 112 with Osmaan Sharif really struck a chord with. It didn’t hurt that he has the most incredible Scottish accent, so swooning may have been involved.
