One of the things I love about the Internet is that I get to meet awesome people every day. I don’t remember how it happened, but it was not too long ago when I found Natalie Sisson’s blog, SuitcaseEntrepreneur.com.
I remember reading through her About Page and reading a few of her posts and thinking “this woman has her shit together”. She’s built successful businesses, won all sorts of writing, social media, and entrepreneurship awards, been a competitive bodybuilder, is planning on biking across Africa, and a whole host of other fascinating things.
Talk about living…
She came from a corporate background and after realizing that entrepreneurship was the path for her, she started her online business. Her mission is to empower women in business and is very powerful.
To quote it:
“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.”
Natalie is a shining example of someone who used her skills and personality to create the exact business she wanted. The result is that she loves what she does and her results speak for themselves.
She’s become a self taught social media expert and has a successful consulting business which is on track for a 6-figure year in 2011! That’s awesome, I mean who wouldn’t love to earn $100k+ doing what they are most passionate about?
I know I would and I know it’s very possible.
I was really impressed by Natalie’s confidence and specialized knowledge and I enjoyed our discussion quite a lot. Some of the things we spoke about were:
- What two things are holding people back from living their passions
- Why you should master one social media platform before moving to another
- The importance of being strategic with your social media campaign
- Some of her favorite and very useful Twitter tools (some of which I had not heard of)
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed the Podcast. I’d love to hear your comments about the interview and don’t forget to subscribe to my Podcast in iTunes.
Also, if you would leave an honest review for me there, that would be awesome! There is only one there so far (and it’s not very good).
Thanks

Hi Bryce,
Thanks for stopping by and glad you like what I have going on here. I love the Podcasts because it pus me (and you all) in touch with some awesome folks. Although I don’t actually like listening to my own voice and need a LOT of work on my interviewing skills, I still think it’s soooooo worth it.
Hopefully I’ll see you around!

Steve this was such a fun podcast to do and we covered a lot of ground because you ask such great questions!
PS I haven’t biked across Africa yet – phew, let me get there first in March 2012.
PPS did you take some action on the business initiatives we discussed? I’m sure you did
Thanks for having me

Thanks for saying that, Natalie 🙂
I really enjoyed our chat and was very impressed by you.
I have taken to heart some of your suggestions and appreciate your advice.
And I have no idea how I blew the biking across Africa thing…sorry about that…
