I'm Natalie Sisson and I'm the Suitcase Entrepreneur and I'm on a mission to inspire people to build profitable businesses while living their ideal lifestyle.

I believe you have the right to choose to have more freedom to do what you want, when you want from where you want and there is simply no better time than now to tap into the future of work to achieve.

That's why I want to write the Suitcase Entrepreneur book and I need your help to ensure my mission comes true by ensuring this message reaches all the people who want to live life on their own terms.

The Background To This Book

I know how it feels to be stuck in a job that sucks the energy out of you, or a business that feels like it's dragging you down. 

I built my business out of nothing but a blog, and a desire and determination to build a business based around my dream lifestyle, not the other way around. 

And that's why I want to write the Suitcase Entrepreneur book for you, and for the thousands of people around the world who believe there's a better way to live and do business. 

I want this book to challenge your current way of thinking. 

You don't need: 

An office to run your business 
A permanent residential address to live at 
To work traditional business hours -- ever 
Your team to be present or even in the same country or timezone 
To meet your clients or customers face to face 
More than one hundred or 24 hours to start your online business 

Who is this book for 

It's for anyone who wants to quit their job to create their own path to freedom, doing what they're good at, what they enjoy and what someone will pay them for.

It's for the business owner who's working hard to build a profitable company that makes an impact, but desires to have more freedom and flexibility on where and when they run it from.

This book is for you if you're a marketing or business consultant, blogger, copywriter, website designer, software developer, coach, teacher or basically anyone who can package their knowledge into a digital product or service that people need and are willing to pay for.

It's also for the corporate giants who are recognizing that they can use the vast wealth of global talent from around the world to create a flexible workforce, and use the amazing online tools to reduce their overheads and streamline their processes.

What Will It Cover

I want to show people that you can choose to live a life of freedom and run a business from anywhere using social media, online tools and clever outsourcing.

I've already started writing the first draft of my book that I want to complete by my birthday this April 3, 2013.

Based on what my community, readers, fans and clients want to know and learn I've narrowed it down to 3 sections (including the introduction and 10 Chapters):

1. Introduction To The World Of The New Rich And Digital Nomads
2. How On Earth Does One Become A Suitcase Entrepreneur 
3. How To Build An Online Business You Can Take Anywhere 

How You Can Shape The Future Of Work 

I've built my entire business using social media and online tools and so it seemed a no brainer to use a great tool like Indiegogo to get the word out about my mission. 

Last year a `big name' traditional book publisher approached me about writing my book, then turned down my proposal, stating people "weren't ready for completely virtual businesses". 

I wondered why on earth I was even considering going the traditional route of giving away all my control, content rights and the majority of my profits to a publisher. 

It struck me this was just the same as working in a 9-5 job that gave me no freedom to make an impact on the world and bring my art to the people that needed it most. 

I want to prove them wrong and give you, the public, the voice to say whether you think this book should be written. 

If you agree then showing your support by choosing one of the rewards on offer gives you a chance to be part of history, to help me write this book and to prove that everyone deserve to choose to live their ideal lifestyle. 

The investment you make goes towards covering the following (based on much research, conversation and Guy Kawasaki's APE book it's an expensive but worthwhile exercise to self-publish).
