Stories we tell ourselves
February 16, 2017 15:08 - 14 minutesSo this April marks a pretty significant moment in my life. I am turning 40 years young. For my birthday, I have decided to gift myself something special. I want to be in the best shape of my life - physically and mentally. Where am I at on that?? Actually pretty close! Which excites me. And it has all come about in the last month or so. I quit telling myself stories that were unhelpful and put myself into the direct spotlight to get serious about committing to this goal. These were ...
Mind your mindfulness
February 07, 2017 03:36 - 25 minutesFor the last 7 years I’ve been running my business The Suitcase Entrepreneur from all over the world, while living out of the suitcase and going on adventures. This year, in 2017, I’ve decided to fire myself. Yup, that’s right. I am quitting. I am taking a business sabbatical from my own business and instead I am taking YOU on a Quest for Freedom. Your freedom. I'm so freakin excited to do this. To understand why the heck I am, here's a bit of backstory into me. This is actually taken from m...

[300] Three Words That Will Make 2017 The Best Year Ever
January 16, 2017 09:05 - 20 minutesEach year, I pick one word which explains what I want the next year to look, be, feel and sound like, and focuses me in on those intentions. But this year, after reading a great email from Mike Vardy on this matter, who took it from Chris Brogan, I’m picking three words that will make 2017 the best year ever for me. Before I tell you the three words, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear freedomist, for listening in to my podcast every single week. I can’t believe that ...

As 2016 rolls to a close, I thought we could all do with a healthy cocktail of inspiration, motivation, practical advice, and actionable tips. So I reached out to 16 of your favorite previous guests on my show and asked them what their one piece of advice was to have the most successful year ever.

[298] How to Achieve Whatever you Want with Michael Gerber
December 26, 2016 05:13 - 41 minutesIs selling the business you love the only way to achieve whatever you want? Michael Gerber, the author of the New York Times bestseller, The E-Myth Revisited, says it is. He says you should be thinking about scaling and selling your small business, even before you start. No wonder he calls himself the Chief Aggravator! In this final interview on my podcast, it seemed fitting to talk about thinking about selling you business before you even begin it, and why you want to scale and grow y...
[297] The Future Trends You Need To Know
December 17, 2016 02:22 - 25 minutesThe future is here. Most of the things we used to think of as science fiction are slowly becoming a reality. (Okay, maybe we aren’t anywhere close to traveling back in time, like Marty McFly and Doc Brown, but you know what I mean) Artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and self-driving cars are all here. Within a few years, these new technologies will permeate every part of our lives; just like smartphones and the internet today. With the rate at which innovations are coming, doe...
[296] Shifting Your Mindset and Beliefs For The New Year with Osmaan Sharif
December 13, 2016 02:45 - 47 minutesAs we head into 2017, it's the time of year where you want to shake things up, shift your mindset and start off the New Year with a bang. December is the perfect time to stop, reflect, and make changes for the coming year based on what you've found did and didn't work in 2016. You also want to look at setting meaningful goals that you will actually achieve and there's no better way to do this, then to look at what you set for yourself this year - and whether you hit those or fell short. ...
[295] The 3 Step Process To Writing and Self Publishing Your Next Book with Chandler Bolt
December 13, 2016 02:41 - 39 minutesWriting and self-publishing a book can feel BIG and OVERWHELMING can't it. That's why 95% of people never get that idea out of their head and into a book. But it doesn't have to be. There are over a million books on Amazon that people have written and published. Regular people just like you and me are behind those books. You don't have to be a great writer, you don't have to be a super master expert on a subject, and you don't have to have a fully fleshed out idea to get started. Th...
[293] How To Flip The Script On Your Mindset with Danny Flood
December 13, 2016 02:32 - 40 minutesMindset is everything. Am I right? It's one thing to know your mindset needs work, and another to put in the work to look at things in a different way. Inner demons, disempowering stories, a "lack" perspective - these can all be part of the default human condition if we let them. But, we don't have to let our beliefs hold us back. In fact, we can shift our beliefs at anytime we choose. In today's podcast episode, Danny Flood shares his journey with shifting his mindset and taking con...
[292] How To Make 2017 Your Best Year Yet
December 13, 2016 02:23 - 28 minutesWhat does your best year ever look like in 2017 for you? More of the same? More reacting, more chaos, more wishing you had time for the things you really love? Planning can seem, at times, to fly in the face of spontaneity and adventure but I challenge you to think of it in a different way. Planning actually makes space for spontaneity and adventure. When you plan properly, you can create space in your life and business so you can really enjoy your free time. In this episode, I sh...
[294] Globetrotting and Business Building with Sonia Simone
November 26, 2016 23:10 - 39 minutesIt's one thing to get by with your business moving around the globe - it's another entirely to co-build a thriving business like Copyblogger from a laptop. Sonia Simone has been absolutely killing it in the copywriting world and has recently moved her life to Rome.

November 07, 2016 13:00 - 27 minutesNo matter what stage you're at in your business, it's a pretty safe bet that your website is front and center on your task list on an ongoing basis.

[290] 3 New Business Tools I'm Switching To (And Why)

So, I got to work in planning the next 10 actions I need to take to make that happen. It turns out that a few of those items relate to the technology and tools I use in my busines...
[289] How To Rock Your Systems From Anywhere with Amy Mitchell
October 24, 2016 12:00 - 30 minutesOne of my favourite things to talk about here on the blog and in my podcast is sexy systems. Why? Early on in my business I learned that if I organized my business processes and automated as much as I could, I could get more done in less time with less effort. Which means, you got it, more FREEDOM. Maybe you're not a systems person, and that's ok. I didn't think I was either but as soon as I realized how crucial smart systems are, I couldn't get enough of them. I dedicate a lot of ti...
[288] Find More Time and Freedom in Your Business with Mandi Ellefson
October 17, 2016 12:00 - 34 minutesSystems have a bit of a bad reputation. You probably think they're pretty boring at face value, but it's what they can do for you that make them sexy and exciting. Systems can mean more time, more money, and more freedom to do what you love. They can mean peace of mind and ease in your business. And, if you're committed to do what's necessary to create freedom in your business, trust me, you're going to need smart, sexy systems. You're going to want to figure out exactly what's holding...

But, practicing and creating habits that make every single day more rich is a mission of mine, and Jonathan Fields shares that sentiment.

[286] Using Kanban To Achieve Flow In Your Business
October 03, 2016 12:00 - 18 minutesI recently was introduced to the Kanban method and it piqued my interest for many reasons. One, it's the final quarter of the year and I am about to go into a big audit of my business - what's working, what's not, what pots of gold are we sitting on and how best can I use my team to help uncover these. Two, I'm all about continually improving what I do, and who I am, and this is one of the key principles behind the Kanban method. The Kanban Method, as formulated by David J. Anderso...
[285] Why You Deserve To Love What You Do with Joel Zaslofsky
September 26, 2016 12:00 - 37 minutesFreedom doesn't always mean living out of a suitcase and jumping from country to country around the world on a whim. For the past 6 years that has definitely been how I've chosen to design my lifestyle, but over the past year, my Freedom Plan has been evolving. And, the more my Freedom Plan evolves, the more people I meet that are seeking Freedom on their own terms. And that's really it, isn't it? Freedom is whatever you want it to be. It's unique to YOU. It's whatever suits your desir...
