Why Your Immune Strength Is More Important Than Loo Paper!

by Natalie • March 10, 2020March 11, 2020

The irony is not lost on me that as I spend each day at the hospital with Josh’s Dad and family, and as Covid-19 panic spreads across the planet, I feel at my most fit and healthy ever and my immune strength is strong.

I put this down to three key things:

#1. Yoga

Yoga is honestly the most beneficial thing I’ve done throughout the last 6+ years for my mind, body and soul.

To think when I first saw it I thought it was too slow and boring for my energised self. Ha! How wrong I was.

Since January 1st I’ve been doing it daily as it makes me feel like a $1 million dollars, and I’ve seen my body change shape and become lean, supple, strong and sexy.

I’ve felt my mind calm and strengthen, and my breathing be deep and nurturing. And I’ve handled a bunch of bad news, plans changing and general ‘house’ stuff like water pipes bursting with ‘mostly’ grace and ease.

I pretty much credit all of this to yoga and mediation.

#2. Plant-based eating

A few days ago marked three months of Josh and I eating pretty much vegan.

I’ve never been vegetarian in my life or taken stints of any type of way of eating (bar going into Ketosis during my Body Sculpting competition purely through the training and eating recommended for me).

So to go plant-based over night after my Half Ironman has been surprisingly easy and natural for me and I feel I’ve responded well to it, for my body and blood type.

I’ve not only got more energy but in the last month I’ve leaned out more. I also look younger and feel healthier.

For me it’s working and I’m experimenting with making sure I get all the right nutrients too.

A side benefit I hadn’t considered is a lack of decision fatigue. With fewer options for going out to eat, and delicious meals available on the menu but less of them, it’s super easy to choose what to eat – BONUS!

#3. Supplements

I’ve been taking supplements on and off throughout life, but they work best when you take them consistently!

I do believe that’s a rule for life and business to – turn up, be consistent and results and success will come in any endeavour you undertake.

Read Why Consistency is Your Secret Weapon

I digress…since starting my triathlon training last year I’ve been consistently taking a handful of supplements.

Read or watch the Lure of Triathlons.

They’ve made a huge difference to my daily energy and also recovery after fitness.

Most importantly they’ve made the most difference to my IMMUNE system, which I’ve always thought was in great shape from all the years of traveling and exposure to all sorts of different bugs and viruses.

But last year I got the flu three times from working in my hometown, commuting and being in office environments far too much for my liking.

After that experience which was not fun, I got serious about my immune system and the three things I’ve shared above have meant I’ve been at my best for over 6 months now.

With Corona Virus or Covi-19 being top of mind for literally everyone I know, and seeing the ridiculous panic buying all over the world of the ill-informed folks, it’s showing me how scared people are.

And it’s a BIG unknown at this time for sure, and the new 5% mortality rate in Italy is certainly scary as heck.

As I look to cancel all my pre planned flights, and act as a responsible human to not take any unnecessary travel especially for group events and conferences (that all of mine was centered around), I’m damn grateful for my health.

Why a Healthy Immune System is so Important

Right now, a healthy overall immune strength is the best thing you can focus on for yourself and your loved ones.

When you’re in business for yourself, it’s even more important, because if you get sick, and your business isn’t a freedom-based business with passive revenue, that works without you, you’re f#cked.

If you’re in the business of getting paid to be YOU, and you are unable to work and show up as your best self, it could be the one thing that takes you and your business down.

I think about this a lot. It’s why I got health insurance properly last year, and why I’ve set myself up with multiple revenue streams.

It’s also why I’m so passionate about my NEW Mission to Help 1,000 Women Earn $10,000 per month and give at least 1% to charities they care most about.

I’m keen to share how that $10,000 can come from a variety of different sources that don’t all rely on you.

But if you’re currently in a position where you’re earning all your income from active income based around you showing up in order to earn it, then looking after YOU is critical.

And it starts with staying healthy, fit, eating well and supplementing to add that extra layer of protection to your body.

This doesn’t mean that you won’t ever get sick or that supplements will make you bulletproof.

It just means your bodies defence system is strong and can defend itself naturally.

In the interests of you remaining healthy and strong during this time, and all times, I wanted to share what I’m taking in case it helps you out.

ReishiMax GLp

Is a dietary supplement formulated to provide long-term nutritional support for a healthy immune system and has been demonstrated to support healthy immune system function and stimulate immune cell proliferation.

In a study from the National University of Taiwan who evaluated this mushroom supplement I take, showed an increase in immune function by as much as 822% compared to other products!

Check it out here.

By the way, did you know Reishi is one of the earliest herbal remedies recorded in Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, between the years of 206 B.C. — 8 A.D. (Shen 1997) and is one of the most valued and potent herbal products in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

g3® is a nutrient-rich juice

It comes from the prized gâc “Superfruit” of Southern Asia, whose nutritional benefits have been scientifically demonstrated to protect cells. Among gâc’s potent phytonutrients are a unique and highly-bioavailable form of carotenoids called “lipocarotenes™” that provide powerful antioxidants which support healthy immune function. Check it out here.

“Remember an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure”

– Ben Franklin, 1763.

One more thing….

Educate Yourself on Corona Virus and Be a Leader

There’s a shit ton of media out there turning normally smart people into freaked out ones who are forcing supermarkets to sell out of hand sanitizer, masks and toilet paper.

This kind of behaviour is not only silly it’s potentially harmful for people who do legitimately need these supplies like hospitals and health professionals.

So here are two GREAT articles on the basics of protecting yourself from Corona Virus, and any flu to be honest.

Forget toilet paper – soap and water is the bomb, as Dave Troy writes about in: Why we should care – commonly asked questions and answers about Covid-19

Eps 56: My Mission for 2020 Revealed

by Natalie • March 4, 2020March 12, 2020 • 4 Comments

What’s your mission in life? Are you willing to share it? Are you willing to also sacrifice everything to make it happen?

Well, I’m truly excited because I finally have my mission for 2020 and beyond.

In this episode, I share it with you as well as why it’s so important to have a purpose or a mission to guide you in everything you do.

Click play below to listen or read on for the full episode in blog format!

It seems really appropriate for me to drop in a solo episode because I’ve been doing a lot of work, thinking, reflecting and pontificating and really wanting to get to the heart of my new mission.

If you’ve known me for many years, you might remember my mission for the Suitcase Entrepreneur, in my book and in my Painted Picture.

It was to help a million entrepreneurs create freedom in business and adventure in life.

If you’ve read my Suitcase Entrepreneur book, that’s the tagline.

Now I never figured that I would individually be able to impact a million people but I knew at the time there was definitely a way to be able to create a ripple effect even if it started with a hundred, a thousand or more.

And at the time, I was like, “Well, hang on a minute, how have I set to come to this number of a million and is it possible?”

I thought it really was because I had:

40,000+ downloads of my podcast per month
Thousands of people watch my videos on YouTube
27,000 fabulous folks on my email list
Really great traffic to my blog
My Suitcase Entrepreneur book out and people were sharing my work.

So that’s how I got to that amount.

It still seemed big and scary and ridiculous, but at the same time, it really drove me to really show up and help people do that through everything I did.

My products, my courses, my workshops, my retreats were all about making that mission a reality.

Now, since 2017 and coming back to New Zealand, settling in a little bit and creating everything under my own personal name and brand, I haven’t had a clear mission for quite a few years.

I wouldn’t say it’s been bothering me, because I’ve been on this journey to understand who I want to serve, how I want to show up and who I want to impact.

But the time is nigh to have a mission to take me forth into this new decade.

I have been working through a great book called “Essentialism” by Greg McKeown

He talks about essentialists understanding exactly what their priorities are and being super clear about that, to the point that they cut out everything else that is not serving them.

And so when it came to setting this mission, the minute I did, I was able to make so many little decisions that have been pending in my mind.

Suddenly, I was able to say, I don’t need to do X because it doesn’t serve my mission, but I can definitely do Y because that does.

It put everything into crystal clear vision for me of what was important and what was totally not.

How I came to develop my new Mission

Last week I read Essentialism in two days flat. Greg’s message about when you get really clear on your purpose, on your why, it puts everything else into place and you cut out all the extra crap – really hit home.

You start to say no to things and you only say yes to the things that are going to serve the purpose that you are working towards.

Non-essentialists say yes to everything, think they can do everything, have too many things going on at once and are easily distracted.

As I read that it definitely reminded me of points of my life last year when I was saying yes to everything, testing everything out, including a job, contract, my business and triathlon training!

All sorts of stuff and just running myself ragged in the process learning so much about what mattered to me and what didn’t.

It was a great learning experience but imagine going through life like that all the time. And people do.

You might even be reading this and going, “Oh my God Nat that’s me!”

The one thing in the book that he said, that I was like, “Oh no! I do this.” is:

I will work right up into the last minute of a meeting, a podcast interview or even a personal meet-up in town, thinking that if I squeeze one extra minute out it’s going to be that much better for me versus stopping, preparing, getting there early, being all great and on time.

So I’ve been making more of an effort on that before I even was reading this book, but the minute I read that I was like, “Yeah, that is such a stupid thing to be doing.”

It’s stressful. The extra few minutes you are squeezing in to get that thing done is completely not necessary and you can pick it up later.

And also it makes you look frazzled, less prepared, less professional and frankly, you feel that way.

So that was one of the big moments for me.

I asked myself, why am I always trying to squeeze all these things in versus understanding and knowing the exact things I want to be working on.

The other thing that helped me to define my mission was watching a training session from Hilary Rushford.

She was talking about getting your brand and mission aligned.

What I really liked is that she doesn’t have all the answers. She’s been in business for as many years as me.

She’s really successful. But I love that she’s so honest about what they don’t do well in her business and what they haven’t yet figured out, and even what they’ve recently done.

It’s really refreshing to hear because it shows you that nobody has their stuff together that much.

And she was talking about how, she could get a sponsor for her podcast and she could do this other thing and she could launch something but is it aligned to her mission of helping people do what she wants to help them do, which is around more of this elegant excellence and understanding their personal style.

I really just like how she was pointing out if I was to take that on, that might get me more immediate money but is it actually destroying my chances in the long term of building this up organically, of promoting my own products, of doing these other things?

I also liked that in Essentialism, and also in what Hilary is saying, is that every single time you say yes to something or you choose to make a decision around something that doesn’t serve your purpose perfectly for short term profits or gain, you are actually making a trade off for your long term benefit.

Every single time you accept something, you’re making a trade off.

And if you want to stay true to your mission, to your purpose, to your why, you will have to make these trade offs.

It sometimes will seem like you’re giving up the best opportunity in the world, but if it doesn’t serve the mission of the purpose that you’re on, then you 100 percent need to make that choice and make the right one.

So as I’m watching her training session, while cycling on my indoor bike trainer, I got a fit of inspiration and my mission came to me so fast, I leaned over to the whiteboard right next to me and started writing it down.

I was literally so excited as I was listening to Hillary. She was clarifying a few things for herself. And I’m on this bike and I’m like, “Woo hoo! Inspiration right now.”

I had kind of come up with this mission a few months ago after my quarter Ironman and I was talking through with Josh, that I really wanted to have a tangible reason and outcome for the people that I was serving.

In this moment though, it just came straight back out of me and onto the whiteboard.

And here it is. I know you’ve been waiting all this time to hear it. I’m sure you are hopefully still with me.

So the mission for Natalie Sisson for 2020 and beyond is:

My Mission: To help 1000 women make $10,000 a month and contribute at least 1% of that to a cause that is dear to their heart.

Preferably a cause that furthers the empowerment of young girls and women. So there it is.

So why is this exciting to me and big to me and what may surprise you about it?

Well, first off, I am targeting women and I have never outright publicly announced that I want to help just women.

Currently women make up around 85% of my client and customer base – awesome women who have come to my retreats, my workshops, who buy my products, come on my courses, etc.

And don’t get me wrong, I love men. They’re awesome. And I have quite a few customers and people that I’ve helped over the years.

But I know that by helping young girls and women in communities, especially developing communities, those women and girls are able to help the entire community grow.

In fact World Vision states:

Empowering women is essential to the health and social development of families, communities and countries. When women are living safe, fulfilled and productive lives, they can reach their full potential. contributing their skills to the workforce and can raise happier and healthier children. They are also able to help fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large.

And I do see this in the Western world as well, where is if you empower one woman to lead, she will lead an entire community, an entire team or an entire business to success.

If I can help one woman to do that, then the ripple effect is far greater than anything else I could have imagined.

So I want to help women specifically because I also believe they are really awesome at being coachable.

And when they’re given the right advice and the right tools and frameworks to help them, they just grow like crazy.

They are malleable, open minded, nurturing, empowering and they also share what they are learning and doing with others. So as I said that ripple effect is really important.

Why one thousand women?

Well, a thousand feels pretty full on right now for me to help make ten thousand a month. But I want to start with 10.

I want to start with 10 awesome women who put their hand up and say, “Natalie, I want to work with you.”

If you want to be part of mine and one of the first 10 people I want to help then apply here.

I’m going to work with you in an intensive mastermind kind of style.

I haven’t worked out all the details, but it’s coming to me like crazy of how I’m going to methodically help you where you’re at right now in your work or business to be able to earn $10,000 in income from multiple revenue streams and I’m leading this over the space of 12 months.

So by the end of 12 months, you’d be hitting that $10k a month mark and it may come well before that and it may take longer. Really depends on where you’re at.

Apply here to find out more and have a chat!

The point is, is that I want to get at least these 10 women to earning $10K a month and if I can help them get to $10K a month, it’s no doubt that they will be able to share that with other women.

And if each of them helps another ten woman, then we’re at a hundred. Right?

And over time, I would love that to expand to that to helping 100 women and then through to a thousand.

But again, I’m not feeling that I have to be the one doing that individually. I feel if I can empower the first ten, it’s going to create that amazing ripple effect of women helping women.

Why $10,000 a month in income?

It’s a pretty big number, especially when you’re in your first formative years of business.

It took me a long time to get to $10K in mine. $10K is in my mind still a lot of money. You could do a lot with $10K.

It works out obviously $120,000 a year and all the research shows anything over and above $75,000 doesn’t make you happier.

In an Inc article The Exact Amount of Money it Takes to Make a Person Happy Just Got an Update, Andrew T. Jebb, a doctoral student at Purdue University writes:

“We found the ideal income point is $95,000 for life evaluation and $60,000 to $75,000 for emotional well-being… this amount is for individuals and would likely be higher for families.”

But I really like that $120,000 provides a pretty decent buffer.

If you have a mortgage, it allows you to pay that mortgage.
If you have kids and a family, it allows you to provide for them.
It allows you to invest in your business;
And for some people it’s a big stretch goal and it would be amazing to have that income coming in every month.

Obviously, that’s not profit, but in an online business in particular, you can get profit levels of 60, 70, 80 percent.

So depending on how the revenue is made up of that income, there’s some lots of room there for savings, investment and growing your financial freedom.

So that’s why I chose $10K because it’s gnarly enough for some people. It’s a bit of a stretch for some.

For others, it probably seems very unrealistic.

It’s a big goal and consistently hitting that is the key.

And more importantly, consistently hitting that with residual revenue streams that are leveraged so you don’t actually have to trade time for money.

I’m not just talking about business revenue here.

I’m talking about revenue from property, from affiliates, from sponsorship, from speaking, from books, from coaching, consulting, teaching, from services, less so, but initially and also from leveraged income – so selling other people’s products and services.

That’s basically what I’m thinking of is how can I help people monetize themselves, get paid to be them, earn multiple revenue streams that sit really well with them, that are aligned with their business and their philosophy and do it consistently month after month.

And then the final part is really important to me because I currently tithe or give.

It’s another way of putting or contribute around 5 to 10 percent of my income each month to causes that I really like.

I do this through my Freedom Fund, which is set up with the Gift Trust which is a registered financial company that distribute my money in the Freedom Fund.

I put my money each month into the Freedom Fund and then I have hand-selected charities that mean a lot to me that help the causes that are important to me and that money I can gift at any point to them like in a lump sum.

And what I’d love to do is have each of these women who work with me to achieve this and work on their own income generation to at least contribute 1 percent of their earnings per month to either my Freedom Fund, which then we get to distribute as a collective and say, hey, I’d love to go here or there, or they can choose to do it themselves through Kiva or directly to the charities that they love.

But wouldn’t it be freaking amazing if these 10 women initially earn $10K a month and if we get to a thousand women earning $10K a month, that is $10 million collectively per month.

And if just 1 percent of that is going to charity, that’s one hundred thousand dollars a month.

So while this dream and this hope and this vision may be three, five, even ten years away to help the thousand women, who knows?

It could be way sooner, especially when I put my mind to stuff. But I love just starting even with these 10 women, because collectively you’d be earning a $100K a month.

And that means that a thousand or up to ten thousand dollars is going to go to these incredible charities who are empowering young girls, woman sustainability, whatever is dear to your heart to actually benefit as well.

And it just feels really great to give to know that you are contributing to others and giving them a hand up, especially when you needed a hand up, probably when you started out.

Somebody might have given you some money, loaned you some funds, given you a bit of a kickstarts so you could start your business or your side hustle your freelance career.

I think it’s always great to be able to give and pass that on.

So that is the mission. To help one thousand women earn ten thousand dollars a month and give one percent of those earnings to causes that are dear to their heart.

I’m super excited about this. I would love to know what you think about it and leave a comment with your mission if you have one.

by Natalie • February 29, 2020February 29, 2020

So how do you let your creative juices flowing?

For me, it’s experimenting, meeting new people and experiencing new things – which I am currently doing at the NZ Spirit Festival.

There is a lot of power in taking yourself out of your ordinary, everyday environment or routine to do things that let your creative juices flow.

In fact that’s often where your best ideas come from. In a study of successful Fortune 500 CEOs most said their best ideas came from when they were taking time out.

In the shower, on a hike, doing yoga, or meditation or on a holiday.

I hope this video inspires you to do things differently and help inspire your creativity.

Day 27: Take a Break and Reap the Benefits

by Natalie • February 27, 2020

When was the last time you took time off?

Like really disconnected, rested and recharged?

If you can’t remember then it’s probably a sign that you need to take some time out.

I’m talking a nap in the afternoon.
A digital sabbatical for a day.
A long weekend away.
A holiday.
A retreat.

Time Out.

The health benefits are immense and it’s actually a smart investment in you and your life and work.

What’s more it’s reenergising and allows you to come back more productive, focused and creative than ever.

It’s so important I’ve already covered it in this video series, and here I am doing it again!

That’s been inspired because I’m about to head off to NZ Spirit Festival to dance, sing, drum, do yoga, ecstatic dance and enjoy live music and just let go.

If you’re hanging out for a magical experience and some serious time out make sure you find something you really want to do and then book it and block out your calendar.

by Natalie • February 26, 2020February 26, 2020

There are times in your life when you just have to put your adult panties on and take a leap.

For me this happened today – just an hour before shooting this video.

I’d been on the lookout for an office to rent as working from home, in a rural setting was just starting to get a little frustrating.

Cows mooing, horses neighing, dogs barking (loudly), chainsaws going off, trees being felled and rural internet dropping out became a little difficult to manage my podcast, vlogs and live calls around.

Once I decided on my mission and who I wanted to serve (see this video) then I realised that setting up a coworking space was not conducive to me serving that mission.

Instead, I could get my own office space – just for me.

And from time to time fellow entrepreneurs who wish to cowork with me.

The moment I decided that checked online, this new listing, just days old appeared and it was perfect.

20sqm of space, with good lighting, in a great central spot in town, affordable and a no brainer.

So here I go!
