The Working Traveller

Wouldn’t it be awesome if there was a way to create almost instant authority & credibility to our brand. A way to help us stand out from the crowd, get noticed and create opportunities we might not otherwise have! Well, I’m happy to say there is. It involves a little up front work but according to todays guest it doesn’t have to be hard, it doesn’t have to take longer than a few days and once...

Cambodia is one of my favorite places in the world. I was especially excited therefore to interview the awesome Roaming Rebels who at the time of interview were locked down in Cambodia due to the Covid 19 outbreak! Barbara & Louis (aka Roaming Rebels) decided to pack up their lives in South Africa, reinvent themselves at age 50 and go traveling around the world on motorbikes! Louis is the moto...

In 2015 my husband & I started selling on Amazon. Within 12 months we'd grossed 1.2 million dollars with one product! It blew our minds. We continued to grow our business over the following years topping $3 million (per year) with net profits in the region of 15 - 18%, until we sold it in early 2020. That little business set us up for a good many years and taught me, in particular, the power o...

I loved this interview with Julie! (I know, I know, I love them all). But I particularly love interviews that inspire me to action. I have been meaning to start my book for a long long long time now, but for whatever reason it just gets pushed to the bottom of the pile. But after this interview I immediately set about completing my outline and have set myself a deadline for getting the book done!...

I started a little commerce store last year as a bit of an experiment and along the way hired the lovely Helen Lindop to organize all my email campaigns. She did a fab job and is the founder of her own email marketing agency helping clients the world over organize and manage their email clients, platforms, and campaigns. I asked Helen to jump on a call with me to have a chat about email marketing...

I recently did a 10 Day FB Live challenge. The goal being to get my head around how lives work, the best software to use, ideal length, how to engage an audience etc. I’m not going to lie, I was nervous! I haven’t done a webinar in years, I’m used to editing mistakes out of my videos and I don’t know what it is, but anytime we actually have to show our face in a video makes the whole thing far mor...

There isn’t any one magic secret that leads to all success in business, but there are a few big ones which if you get right will have an exponential affect on your efforts. This is one of those ‘big ones’. What I mean by platform is the place from which you will build your audience. Where you’ll post the bulk of your content, create the most engagement, showcase your expertise and become known for...

Who doesn’t love the thought of speeding through your tasks and ticking off your to do’s with that gleam of satisfaction you feel as you mark each job - DONE! Truth be told, I sometimes add a task to my to do after I’ve done it just to cross it off!!! (Come on, I know you do too!) In todays episode I’m talking with systems superstar Pip Meecham, founder of http://projectbox.com.au/ , an Australian...

When I first started online back in 2010, FB pages were all the rage. In fact I made my first 6 figures off the back of becoming an expert on how to launch and grow your FB Business Page. These days it’s all about groups! FB want more close and personal relationships and so are propelling groups to the forefront of their platform along with their chat apps. So how do we grow a group? It’s a questi...

Imagine flying into a country you’ve never visited before for a friends wedding and then getting locked down there for over 4 months! This is exactly what’s happened to my good buddy Dan & his folks. They flew over to Phuket for my wedding at the end of February and as I write this mid June they’re still here! Unfortunately Covid hit the world within a week of our wedding and shortly after air...

I must admit I have a love hate relationship with content. I so want to create lots of valuable information and share other awesome content I find online, but it’s also so easy to get completely overwhelmed with the sheer amount of stuff you could share that you end up sharing nothing! That’s why today I decided to break down the content strategy that I recently started using to part the trees and...

I love today's episode! Earlier this year my husband & I sold our Amazon business and started to buy small e-commerce businesses with growth opportunity. We came across an EarPod business and fell in love with the founder more than the business! Peter Samios is 14 years old and spent 18 months building Fuzepods, an e-commerce store selling wireless EarPods (I can’t call them AirPods as that’s...

I'm so passionate about todays topic. I honestly believe this is the magic ingredient to ensuring your uniqueness no matter who you're up against in your niche or industry. If you can clearly define the higher purpose of your business, the whole reason for it's existence and how it impacts your potential audience and customers and then communicate that through your brand, your content and your ent...

So you’ve got as far as knowing you want to run a lifestyle business. You may even know that you definitely want to be a blogger or an affiliate marketer or sell products or services online. But what ‘business’ are you actually in? Perhaps you haven’t quite defined the niche you want to go into, maybe you’re unsure what your passion is, or perhaps you have so many ideas you just don’t know which o...

How much money do you actually need to live your ideal lifestyle? Do you know? Have you worked it out down to the penny or are you plucking a number out of thin air? Have you even thought about it? Perhaps instead you simply say to yourself ‘I want to make more money’, so I can; travel the world, pack up my job, spend more time with family, X (you fill in the blank). Until you know exactly what it...

An online lifestyle business is a business that funds your lifestyle. Not a million dollar VC funded startup, or an idea that requires a trip to the bank with a business plan. This is about creating something, preferably from a passion you already have, that you can run totally remotely from anywhere in the world. In todays episode I'm walking you through the 5 key steps to starting your online li...

“It's really all just one big mind game. Which can be frustrating until we understand how liberating that really is. Within our thoughts, we have the power to achieve anything we're willing to work for, if we only have the discipline to control our thoughts towards the goals we have.”  Nick Peroni In today’s episode, I'm joined by Nick Peroni, the founder of Ecom Empires and the Worldwide Eco...

Are you aware of how powerful & unique you are, just as you are? How many times do we second guess or doubt ourselves. Maybe we stop ourselves from doing things we know would take us closer to our goals because we're worried that maybe we're not as good as we think we could be or we're worried about what others may think or say. Perhaps we believe somewhere deep down we don't have the skills r...

There is nothing worse than feeling tired, sluggish & desperately lacking in energy, particularly if we’re trying to build the business & life of our dreams and even more so when we want to go bounding around the world exploring new places & cultures. It’s easy to simply say eat more fruit & veg, drink more water & do more exercise but as someone who’s been on a long & ardu...

I’ve recently increased my own productivity beyond measure. I’m getting more done in a day now than I used to in a week, sometimes even longer. I’m no longer spending my days thinking or planning or getting distracted on social media. I’m just ‘doing’! And the great part is I’m loving it! There is no need to be in a constant state of stress or overwhelm my friend. Life is far too short for all of...
