You have big things you want to put out in the world lady!
You're here to make a dent. Create impact. Leave a legacy.
But sometimes..
*Your inner critic derails your best laid plans.
*Imposter syndrome plagues you like a shadow, stopping you in your tracks.
*And procrastination, that bitch, rears her ugly head every time you get inspired and start creating.
Or are these all just really excuses and you need to Suck it up Princess and develop the right mindset, habits and strategies to kick ass and go for it in life and business?
Suck It Up Princess is an inspiring, refreshingly honest, sometimes witty, sometimes tear jerking book designed to show you where you can take control of your life and bring out your inner heroine.
You'll learn, as I have, where you need to forge ahead and 'just do it' and where you need to slow down, show yourself some damn compassion!
When the best times are for self-love, fine wine and time with your best girlfriends.
And when life-affirming mantras, incense and a yoga mat could be just the breakthrough you're looking for.
As someone who's always gone for it in every area of my life, being a goal-getter, smashing world records and getting a gold medal in Ultimate Frisbee, I felt I had a pretty good handle on what it takes to live an awesome life.
Add to that quitting the rat race in 2008 and buying a one way plane ticket to Canada to start and build a multiple six-figure blog and education business while living out of a suitcase and traveling the world full-time.
Life was fabulous and yep I thought I had it all together.
That was until I came back to my homeland and did a complete 180 degree change in my life and work.
Which took me two damn years to get over, and threw all I knew in the world to be true, up into the air.
What's more it took some deep diving into myself, personal growth, massive amounts of reflection, some awesome failures that rattled me to my core, and a sucky period of ...well feeling sucky, that I realised the truth:
I did not have my shit together. I was not better than anyone. I was not special. I was not successful. I was just me, and that was more than enough.
From there sprang deep-seated joy, knowing, learning, understanding and happiness, combined with fear, anger, faffing, confusion and going right back to the basics.
I highly advise this if you. want to get to know yourself at any stage of your life, especially in your early 40s when you think you know yourself and enough to be dangerous.
That's why this book is bursting out of me, ready to be written in a dazzling array of brilliance, research, impatience, frustration and massive amounts of imperfection.
I've broken it down into cool chapters I haven't yet written, but are well and truly etched in my head (and some of which are likely half shared in some shape in a podcast, conversation, vlog or blog post).
By the time they get you to you in this fabulous, fun, hilarious, tear-jerker of a book (not much to live up to there Nat), they will cover topics like:
You Are Not Your Ego.
Valuing Your Gorgeous Self
The Power of Saying No
Be a Leading Learner
Be MEaningLESS
Get Over Yourself
The No Drama Queen Approach
Energy Vampire Remedies
Why Being Normal is Hip
Celebrate Yourself Everyday
Show Up snd Your 90% There
Why Ambition Suits You
Selling Is Sassy Not Sleazy
And more!
This book will not be filled with a plethora of practical tools and software like my past books, or lots of case studies.
It will however be packed with love, my own stories, radical transparency, silliness, hard truths and legit guidance, tips and proven methods to get out of your own way be the heroine you know you already are.
If I may, the dictionary definition of a heroine (noun) is:
1. a woman admired for her courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.
"she was a true feminist heroine"
So yeah you get the gist. This will be a 'read it in a weekend' but 'leave an imprint for a lifetime' type of book.
It's for a women, the world over, who are playing it small, or not playing at all, who are hiding their gifts from the world and need a girlfriend/ sister/ bestie/ Moach (mentor and coach) to show them how to start living as their best self.
It's for women in business, at the helm of their own ship, who have simply veered off course, or hit some rough seas (puking ain't fun) and need to reset their navigation to sail in the right direction again, with the help of their co-pilot (that's me lovely).
It's for women who thought they had it all together, and have reached a stage in their life where they realise they don't at all and are wondering what the f*ck do I do now?
Or they've achieved their wildest dreams and are wondering what their new why should be, and wondering why they've gotten to this place after everything they've done.
And it's for women, like you and me, who simply love reading a great book, that makes them laugh, cry, snort, resonate, ponder, reflect, take action and become a heroine of their own life!
So PLEASE support me in getting this princess out to the world xxx
Women entrepreneurs and impact makers who are struggling to see themselves as the powerful human beings they are and need inspiration combined with practical action steps to do this!
A sample of Praise for my previous two bestselling books:
"The Suitcase Entrepreneur is a real gem: it contains more resources than I have seen in any other book of its type, and is the ultimate one-stop-resource guide for budding suitcase entrepreneurs. This is not a book that sketches out a dream and leaves you hanging, it’s a solidly researched (yet readable) book that tells you exactly what that dream can look like and the exact tools you can use to get there, starting now. Best of all it’s written by someone who is living this life herself, and knows what she is talking about. This is one you’ll want in your pocket as you navigate your new (or growing) business, and to dip into as you build your travel lifestyle: I predict Natalie’s book will become a must-read for people joining the ranks of suitcase entrepreneurs everywhere." ~ Marianne Cantwell, Author of best seller Free Range Humans
"The Suitcase Entrepreneur is a wonderful collection of stories and information the former paints the broad strokes so that you understand what the non-traditional business landscape looks like today, and the latter ensures you have the most up-to-date resources to help you achieve the same. All of this is woven in with the story of how Natalie got to where she is today, which is one of the most dynamic and inspiring examples of boldness and can-do-attitude you re bound to find". ~ Colin Wright, Exile Lifestyle
"Natalie mixes the very best of fun and inspiration with practical, actionable tools to get you set for a viable location independent business". ~ Pamela Slim, Author of Escape from Cubicle Nation
"Plenty of people want to travel the world and run a business from anywhere, but only a small percentage of them transform their dreams to reality. Of those who make the leap, few can explain it well. Natalie Sisson is the perfect exception: a suitcase entrepreneur with a track record, who can also show you exactly how it's done. Read this book and pack for your new adventure." ~ Chris Guillebeau, NYTimes Best Selling Author of The $100 Startup
"Freedom is my number 1 value, so of course, I jumped on Natalie's book! Natalie is such a leader in helping us find ease and abundance in our businesses without the old-skool burn out that so many entrepreneurs face. Here's to less work and more money!" ~ Denise Duffield-Thomas // Author Chillpreneur and Get Rich, Lucky Bitch
Simply put, Natalie Sisson helps entrepreneurs live the life they've imagined. Packed with wisdom and useful systems to free up your time and help you focus on your passions, The Freedom Plan is a powerful way forward. ~ Dorie Clark // adjunct professor at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and author, Entrepreneurial You and Reinventing You
Natalie Sisson is a New Zealand entrepreneur, author, speaker, host of the ‘Untapped’ podcast and triathlete. After ditching a successful corporate career and co-founding a technology company, Natalie decided to monetize her humble, 6-month old blog, The Suitcase Entrepreneur, into a multiple-six figure online education platform back in 2010. In her efforts to continuously innovate, Natalie, the OG of digital nomads, has since turned that content and knowledge into 8 different revenue streams including digital products, courses, workshops, international retreats, and coaching. These days, she’s passionate about helping others leverage their unique set of skills, knowledge, and experience to earn a living and make an impact from anywhere, simply by being them.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
How can we serve you today?
Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
