At the time this episode aired, Tandem Nomads is soon turning eight! Oh boy… the world has certainly changed since the first episode aired. For that reason, Tandem Nomads podcast will soon undergo major changes. Stay tuned!  But before I share more about that, this episode represents one of the many significant shifts that have occurred in the past few years.   Although the community of Tandem Nomads doesn't necessarily identify as digital nomads, paying attention to how digital nomads have evolved can teach us a lot about aligning our lifestyle with our business, even if we don't necessarily want to travel all the time.  In fact, the digital nomads of a decade ago are now older and have families of their own, but they still don't want to sacrifice their freedom and lifestyle flexibility.  But is it even possible to live and work from anywhere (not just from home) and move every couple of months with children? What about the kids' education?  Mauro Repacci found an innovative solution to allow families to live on the move like digital nomads, work from anywhere, while providing all the stability they need in terms of work, community, and education for their kids. Another important topic we cover in this episode is how to avoid burnout as entrepreneurs. While the reason for starting a portable business might be to have more flexibility and time for ourselves, it can easily lead to the opposite result, as making a business truly successful and profitable can lead to overwhelm.  Running a business should be like running a marathon, not a sprint.  Mauro Repacci is a seasoned entrepreneur with a proven track record in the travel, relocation, and fintech industries. He began his career at Air Canada, where he played a key role in several major projects, including the acquisition of the 787 and the launch of a low-cost airline. Following the completion of his MBA at Queen's University, he went on to found the largest online relocation marketplace in Canada, which was later acquired by an immigration firm. More recently, he founded and scaled VC-backed fintech company NestReady to 40 employees and 20 enterprise clients before it was acquired by Alpine Investors. With three daughters, Mauro developed the idea for Boundless while seeking solutions for his family.  What you will learn: What innovative solutions Boundless offers to enable families to live on the move while maintaining the stability they need. 

In this episode, we address the critical question that often holds people back: "What do you truly want?" We understand that not everyone can answer this with certainty, and that's okay. As an online business coach I'll share insights to help you navigate this introspective journey and align your goals with what you truly want. Deep down your soul knows what you truly want to achieve and what you are capable of. Tune in and listen… without letting all the noise take over your dreams. Your inner self already knows what you're capable of achieving. Tune in to silence the noise and connect with your authentic aspirations. But even with clarity, obstacles may still loom on your path (especially as an entrepreneur). This episode will help you build a powerful mindset and the self-assurance required to overcome these challenges and wholeheartedly commit to your goals. What you will learn: How lack of clarity affects your goals and your ability to reach them How to tune into yourself to figure out what you truly want How to navigate the obstacles and doubts so you can achieve your goals This episode is also available in a blog format: Click here to find the article Share Your Love!

In this podcast Amel talks to us about various aspects of personal and business growth, focusing on themes such as adaptability, mindset shifts around money, the importance of self-awareness, and building businesses aligned with one's lifestyle. She shares her personal journeys, emphasizing the transformative effects of living in different countries and the lessons she's learned along the way. She also highlights the importance of embracing sales and marketing as a means of serving others and building relationships, rather than merely selling.  She also takes us through the importance of self-love, healing past traumas, discovering one's true purpose to make a positive impact in the world and defining your zone of genius. She also emphasizes the need for clarity, consistency, and conversion in marketing strategies, while cautioning against self-shaming and overworking.  This is yet another incredible episode. Tune in!   During this episode, you will learn about: 05:05: Feeling homeless and home full 10:06: Being a nomad was not a choice, it was my destiny 15:08: Moving into an apartment in Paris at 17 18:20: Selling encyclopedias door to door in the USA 23:01: Definition of money 26:52: Money is a multiplier of impact 30:39: What it means to be truly of service 35:32: Feeling stuck in the trauma and integrating it 39:09: How to start your expansion journey 43:56:  Marketing is not about selling, it's about serving 48:51:  How do you craft a marketing strategy that works for you 57:12: Share three lessons that you've learned about traveling or money, marketing 58:42: Being grateful even in the hard times 01:00:53: How to get hold of Amel 01:03:17: Additional resource for your money journey Notable Quotes  Leaving countries, at the end, is almost as powerful as arriving in a new one because you leave with so much more than what you came with. It's interesting how sometimes there's a superpower in us that is guiding our way. I don't know if it's our soul spirit or whatever, but it feels as if I had some invisible hand pushing me through a certain journey.  Money is also a multiplier of impact. The more money you make, the more impact you can make in the world. Do things, start somewhere, do something. And then the more you do, the more the answers will come to you. Don't think about it. Thinking is not going to get you the answers, but doing will. We can be a visionary. We can keep innovating, moving on, but let there be space of being grateful for what we achieved already.

Welcome to this episode of the podcast where we explore the challenges faced by successful entrepreneurs and how coaching can help overcome them. In this episode, we had a conversation with Amel Derragui, a marketing and productivity coach and founder of Tandem Nomads. Here are some of the key takeaways from our discussion: Building a successful business can be challenging, and entrepreneurs need a support system to overcome the obstacles they face. A support system can include family members, friends, mentors, and coaches who can provide guidance and encouragement along the way. Involving family members, especially children, in the business can create a sense of community and understanding of what the entrepreneur is trying to achieve. To be successful in any industry, entrepreneurs need to be knowledgeable about their field and the other experts in it. Creating a community of like-minded individuals can provide a source of inspiration, motivation, and accountability. True relationships built on genuine interest and care are the foundation of a strong support system. Investing in the support we need can help us achieve faster results and overcome challenges more efficiently. Consistency is crucial to achieving success in business, and entrepreneurs need to implement strategies that will help them maintain consistency. The three Cs - clarity, consistency, and connection - are essential components of any successful marketing strategy. Clarity involves having a clear understanding of what you want to achieve and who your ideal clients are. Consistency means implementing strategies that will help you show up regularly and maintain a strong presence in your industry. Connection involves building relationships with your audience and creating a sense of community around your brand. Coaching can be a valuable resource for entrepreneurs looking to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. Coaching can provide an objective perspective, accountability, and guidance that can help entrepreneurs stay on track and overcome obstacles. By investing in coaching, entrepreneurs can develop the skills and mindset they need to achieve long-term success in their businesses. Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the podcast, and we hope these takeaways have provided valuable insights into the challenges faced by entrepreneurs and how coaching can help overcome them.

Women's empowerment has been at the core of Tandem Nomads' mission since it started. Entrepreneurship is indeed one of the most effective tools for women to live up to their full potential and create their own source of financial independence while aligning their business with their priorities in life. The countless women who came before us fought for the privileges we enjoy today, which is why it is our responsibility to live up to our full potential and continue to pave the way for the ones coming after us. In this episode, we look at where we are today regarding women's rights and opportunities in our society and in our world. What can we celebrate and where do we need to see more progress? We also reflect on what women need today to live up to their full potential. In order to answer these questions, I invited some of the most active members of the Tandem Nomads' community to share their take and insights on this topic: Cath Brew is an LGBTQ+ inclusion consultant who supports LGBTQ+ allies looking to step into confident active allyship. Cath is also an artist and uses her illustration and fun storytelling talents to educate people around misconceptions related to the LGBTQ+ topics.

When you work at what you love, it's easy for burnout to creep up on you. It's a bit like the ghost at Halloween. You know it's there, but it's not until you stare it in the face that it scares you. Entrepreneurs know how to look after themselves, but all too often they ignore the signs that tell them to rest, pull back, or delegate. Burnout then becomes very real and forces them to stop. So how do you prevent burnout from happening? This week, Restorative Movement Specialist, Johdi Woodford shares her unique multidisciplinary approach for preventing burnout. She challenges traditional methods of ‘help', talks about why our bodies start to become compromised and offers great tips for how to spot your own ‘red flags' of not coping. Preventing burnout is an intrinsic state of knowing what's the right thing to do. But most entrepreneurs bypass that because they are too busy and don't take the time to listen to their body and their intuition. Johdi Woodford is a Restorative Movement Specialist who helps people over 40 to finally uncover the root cause of their pain and treat it so that it doesn't come back again. Johdi's clients enjoy lasting, unparalleled results because she takes a revolutionary and rebellious route to the otherwise very boring, very ineffective methods that you'll find elsewhere in the Health & Fitness World. Her multidisciplinary approach is unlike anything you've ever tried before, because no-one combines precise anatomical and physiological corrective exercise know-how, with a witch-like ability to heal that her clients describe as ‘magic'. What you will learn: How to identify your ‘red flags' and prevent stress levels from increasing Why traditional talking therapies don't work for everyone How to create a neutral state from which you can heal Resources and inspiration: 7 Steps to a mental, physical and emotional rest and reset Find Johdi online: Website Facebook Instagram Share Your Love!

In this episode Cath Brew talks about the importance of intuition, how to develop yours and why your business needs it. She explains the difference between emotions and intuition, how to recognize these differences and why one may interfere with business efficiency whilst the other improves it.

Mental health and mental wellbeing are just as important as your physical and business health. Despite this, many entrepreneurs still struggle with burnout. As Amanda Bates discusses this week, proactively watching what's happening to your mental health is vital to avoid substantial disruption to your business. With examples from her own journey, she explains why managing your mental health can be the difference between an enjoyable, short, planned breaks and unexpected time off due to persistent physical illness. If this was the last thing on earth that I had to do, what could I do for another five years and still be excited about it? In this episode, Amanda also shares when it's best to reach out for support and from whom and offers ideas as to how failure helps your mental health long-term. As a third culture kid Amanda's interest in navigating cross-cultural spaces and identity started young. Her American born, African-raised perspective continues to influence her as she leads the creative direction of The Black Expat, a multimedia platform dedicated to changing the narrative on Black international mobility. She also hosts the Global Chatter podcast which takes a humorous deep dive into these conversations from underrepresented perspectives. When Amanda's not talking the mobile life, she is a student affairs professional at North Carolina State University and a career counselor, with her brand, Bates At Work.

Wouldn't it be great if you could have a business that brings you revenue, joy and fulfillment and not spend all your time working on it? Your business should be working for you, not the other way round! One of the great advantages of a portable business is that you can have a successful business that also allows you to take life at your pace and have time for the things that matter to you. But this doesn't happen by accident. You need to be intentional about how you create and manage “seasons” and time within your business. Make your business work around your life, and not the other way around. In this week's episode, I'm sharing what I have learned from my own experience of building my business in a way that allows me to continue to show up for my community and have time for the things that matter most to me. https://tandemnomads.lpages.co/slow-challenge/ () What you will learn: What trap to avoid as a solo entrepreneur to create a business that works for you How to proactively align the seasons of your business with your lifestyle and wellbeing This episode is also available in a blog format: https://tandemnomads.com/how-to-be-an-entrepreneur-and-lifestyle-freedom-by-embracing-the-seasons-in-your-business/ (Click here to find the article) Resources and inspiration: Listen to episode https://tandemnomads.com/podcast/tn233-beyond-portable-build-a-business-that-is-sustainable-through-any-transition/ (TN233: Beyond Portable: build a business that is sustainable through any transition) Listen to episode https://tandemnomads.com/podcast/tn109-is-your-business-aligned-with-what-you-really-want-to-achieve/ (TN109: Is your business aligned with what you really want to achieve?)

Entrepreneurship is certainly the ride of a lifetime. It demands a lot from a person. How do you ride the wave of running your own business with outside influences ever present, large workloads, limited hours and a desire to stay on purpose? And what if you are interested in more than one thing and are competent in various different areas?! You listen to Amanda Bates! In this episode Amanda talks candidly about being an entrepreneur and delivering her purpose through multiple avenues. She offers a wide variety of tips about the importance of your mission and purpose, why working to your strengths increases productivity, and critically, why it's not only okay to fail, but vital for the evolution of you and your business. Her insights into the diverse layers of entrepreneurship are not to be missed. “If you can't delegate, you need to break up your day to make sure that the things that make your business run are absolutely done.” As a third culture kid Amanda's interest in navigating cross-cultural spaces and identity started young. Her American born, African-raised perspective continues to influence her as she leads the creative direction of The Black Expat, a multimedia platform dedicated to changing the narrative on Black international mobility. She also hosts the Global Chatter podcast which takes a humorous deep dive into these conversations from underrepresented perspectives. When Amanda's not talking the mobile life, she is a student affairs professional at North Carolina State University and a career counselor, with her brand, Bates At Work.

In episode 259, we discussed how it would be very difficult to grow a sustainable and successful portable business without all the great online tools available to us nowadays. I shared the top 5 online tools that I swear by to grow my own portable business. However, if you are not particularly “tech savvy”, going through the process of learning how to use these tools can feel very frustrating. For that reason, many solo-entrepreneurs give up and lose their opportunity to scale their business and take it to the next level. The learning curve with tech tools can feel so overwhelming. Your whole attitude and results will change when you realize how much time and energy you will save, and how much growth you will experience once you push through your comfort zone. There are ways you can overcome this challenge and turn it into major growth opportunities. https://tandem-nomads.ck.page/4e1d0e0f02 () What you will learn: What mindset shift you need to make if you are not “tech savvy” How to learn about tech tools and get familiar with how they work How to trouble shoot and fix the tech issues you might have This episode is also available in a blog format: https://tandemnomads.com/mastering-tech-how-to-get-from-overwhelm-to-tech-savvy/ (Click here to find the article) Resources and inspiration: Listen to episode 259:http://www.tandemnomads.com/259 ( 5 online tools I swear by to run my portable business) Listen to episode 257: https://tandemnomads.com/podcast/tn257-how-to-hire-the-right-virtual-assistant-and-grow-your-team/ (How to hire the right virtual assistant and grow your team) Share Your Love!
