Do you feel that you have given away all of your best work for free? Let’s put a stop to that immediately! It’s time to charge what you are worth and be a profitable business owner!When I first started The Suitcase Entrepreneur, I spent 6 months giving away stuff for free. In a way it was great! I had an audience that absolutely loved my content, they eagerly awaited my next share. They were always grateful for everything I was giving them. I can honestly say that they knew me, they liked me, and they absolutely trusted me.The only problem was, I had a goal to build a profitable business that sustained the life of freedom I wanted and I had no paid offers, I didn’t even have a list at this time! Free does not equal profit… no matter what way you spin it.I knew I had to change this and start charging in order to reach my goal. So I worked hard creating my first paid offer, and when I launched it, I realized something… I built an audience that expects everything for nothing.Tune into this week’s solo episo

 What if you could step out onto the stage of life, into the full spotlight of your gifts, and profoundly impact your ideal audience every time by finding your powerful voice?Finding your powerful voice as an entrepreneur is often one of the most difficult challenges that we face.But is it difficult because we have hidden our ability to access our powerful feminine power voice, and given way to an inner patriarchal model that causes us fear and self-doubt?Can an inner exploration of our feminine talents and qualities improve not only our life and business but also change the world around us in a truly meaningful way?Don't worry; I am not going to leave you hanging with these tantalizing open-ended questions.My lovely guest, Emma Back, is here to share some of her insights on this fascinating subject.

Scaling you and your revenue, without scaling the amount of work you do is the power of online courses, and the ultimate dream for most entrepreneurs. You get to teach what you know and love, make an impact in lots of people’s lives, while earning an income that isn’t 100% reliant on you showing up live and doing the work.Picture yourself sitting in any location your heart desires, sipping on whatever drink you fancy, while your business makes money for you-pretty cool, right?Now you might be thinking that everyone and their dog are launching an online course right now, but the good news is that there’s always room for you.You have something to teach, that others will find valuable, and pay you for. The reason is that the style in which you teach it and the experience bring is unique to YOU. That’s what sets you apart.There’s frankly no better time to be teaching these skills that people want to learn through your own online course.Why? According to research from Forbes, the e-learning market is expected

How would you like to take your business to the next level by getting the media attention your business deserves?As an entrepreneur you have a unique story to tell and when you can get that story published and featured in the media, your audience will grow and your sales will accelerate.What if I told you it was much easier than you think to get published in major media?

Have you ever wanted to change an industry that you love from the inside out?Do you want to be the change that you want to see in the world? But you're wondering where to start?And are you thinking about how can you make a name for yourself, doing something that you love, and creating a real positive impact in the world while earning a great income from it?Then look no further than the shining example of Ren Navarro, who in early 2018 organically created her consulting company Beer Diversity, which strives to educate, enlighten and make beer more approachable for a more diverse audience.She'd been involved in the beer industry for seven and a half years as a sales representative for renowned and award-winning breweries, and she started having conversations about diversity and inclusion. Working constantly as the face of breweries within her respective sales regions, Ren began by speaking frequently at workshops, conferences, and giving talks informing and entertaining people through her love of beer.Stri

Do you believe that you can build your dream team, one that cares as much about your business as you do?And that maybe just maybe you can hire people who do the things that you think you do best, better than you? It's been a goal of mine for several years to build my dream team. You know the type of high-performing, high trust team that will help me on my aim to build a million dollar revenue business by the end of 2023.Yet the biggest mindset shift for me to do this, has been to get out of the way, and relinquish control, surrender to trusting people I bring into my business and their skills.I'm pretty sure I'm not the only entrepreneur who struggles with letting go, and handing your baby over!The other thing you need to know, before you start hiring team members, is your best return on investment and your superpowers. Ask yourself:What do I do best, that only I can do?What can I give up and delegate?What needs to change in order to scale?Do I need these people in-house or can I outsource

Imposter syndrome is real. It's alive and kicking and left unchecked, it can be seriously debilitating to your hopes and dreams. So what is it and how do you overcome imposter syndrome and kick it to the curb?You might have experienced imposter syndrome yourself. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?One minute you're totally in flow, on top of the world and so proud of that epic blog post you just wrote, and the next minute you're like 'what if they find out I'm a fraud and I don't actually know what I'm talking about?'You've been invited to speak at a big event on the topic you're passionate about, you're all set to take the stage and suddenly you think you to yourself: 'Oh my god, I can't do this, who am I think I can pull this off. I don't even know what I'm talking about?!'Or even better, you're deep into writing your first book, the one the publisher you landed can't wait to publish.

Do you believe that you are the true CEO of your own business?In fact, do you believe that you are the CEO of your own life?Are you working like crazy and adopting the 'more is more' mentality, leaving you to feel exhausted and overwhelmed?Reality check: the more you find yourself spending countless hours working, the less time you'll have for yourself or your loved ones, and the more quickly you'll burnout.But what if I tell you that you can actually have the freedom to grow your business and your income, all while living your best life spending more time with your family and uplifting others?The secret is not just about working more hours every day, it’s about understanding which of those hours that you are putting into your business are actually driving the results.Enter Racheal Cook, an award-winning business strategist, coach, and best-selling author who is on a mission to end the poverty mindset by helping you build impressively profitable businesses, through strategies and systems that give you th

If you've ever tried it, crafting the perfect media pitch to get your business real exposure can be both exhausting and overwhelming, right?You might find yourself spending countless hours curating perfect emails, or researching the right contacts, only to never hear back from them.In the early years of building my business, I hustled a lot to get my emails in front of the right people and land media interviews or writeups with some big names. Although it worked in the long run, I knew there must be a better way, or perhaps a better strategy to a perfect media pitch that landed me the right gigs.And often landing your email in the right inbox, is simply not enough. If the pitch doesn't resonate, you're unlikely to hear back.Enter Christina Nicholson, this week’s podcast guest, to the rescue! She's the powerhouse behind Media Maven, and went from award-winning journalist, to professional PR freelancer and now owner of her multi-million dollar PR agency.Christina has successfully pitched her clients to som

Have you found yourself freezing up when being asked what it is you really do in your business?You're feeling tense, and unsure how to answer, because how do you put into words what your business or your brand is all about?You know your brand logo, your brand colours and even what you do in your business, but how do you articulate this to your ideal audience?You're not alone.Branding is the thing that I think has become so overcomplicated, almost mysterious for people, especially when you're starting out in business.Speaking from my own experience, it's not easy to build out an incredible brand that also gives you longevity. Enter this week’s podcast guest, a dear friend of mine Karley Cunningham, the creator, owner and visionary behind the Big, Bold Brand.Karley lives and breathes helping consultants, coaches, entrepreneurs and organizations to bring their brands to life, and how ultimately to build the business that they absolutely want.We dive into Karley's awesome 10 ste

These last couple of weeks have left me reeling if I'm totally honest. I feel like I just woke up after a lifelong slumber afforded to me thanks to my white privilege, and that my ignorance around #blacklivesmatter and anti-racism is unforgivable.I feel things deeply and I am especially saddened that my actions, or lack of, deeply hurt and offend people, which they did by me not using my platform appropriately at all, in the last few weeks, but realistically the entire time I've had one.So I'm doing what I know I can do well right now, being a student of life, being open to learning and educating myself on how having white privilege, white exceptionalism, white apathy, white fragility to name a few, has benefited me greatly in my life.This work is beyond necessary, especially as an entrepreneur, a coach and one with a platform and a voice to be able to create real change in this world. And to be able to dismantle the systemic racism that has existed for centuries for Black, Indigenous, and People of

My friend, after 10 years of being in business what I find so fascinating, is this desire to still understand exactly what my business needs next.​And you'd think that I'd have it all figured out by the stage, but I'm letting you know that I don't.In fact, I actually just hired somebody to just sit down for three hours with me and go through my entire business plan, my priorities, what's important to me and what's been working for me.I literally paid somebody to hold me accountable to talk through this because I knew that all the next steps were there.​And that's what this week's podcast guest Mike Michalowicz is talking about today, that the biggest challenge we face as entrepreneurs, is actually knowing what our biggest challenge is.​And as a result, most businesses stay stuck in a pattern of two steps forward and three steps back.​Mike has built four multiple million-dollar companies and sold two of them one to private equity and another to a fortune 500 all before his 35th birthday​.But it wasn't an

Do you want to be doing your business and marketing in a much more heart centred, feminine way?Are you done with icky sales?Are you done with not understanding exactly who you serve?Then it's time to nail your niche.Why? It can actually be overwhelming and exhausting trying to serve everyone, in fact it often flows into our marketing, leaving our audience just as confused as to whether they are the right fit!I know, you've probably heard it over and over again, but the true reality is until we start getting clear on who we serve, we aren't able to articulate our value proposition in a tangible way for our audience.This week's podcast with the lovely Kiwi entrepreneur Tash Corbin, is just what you need to get out of the mindset of saying 'yes' to everyone, and absolutely nail your niche and your marketing.There is so much goodness to unpack in this episode, as Tash and I dive into how entrepreneurs can find, and nail their niche, and feel empowered to make sales to the right audience!Tash Corbin is a
