Partnering for Profit

e14-NicolaBirdToday’s episode is a combination of last season’s popular theme of How to Sell to Women and this season’s theme of Giving Yourself a Raise with guest Nicola Bird, an Online Entrepreneur, International Coach and Founder of JigsawBox.com and The Simplicity Project.

With an MSc in Occupational Psychology and a diverse range of business experience, mother of three Nicola Bird went from earning $0 to over $1M online by mastering technology to transform her coaching business. Leveraging yourself like this is absolutely crucial to expanding your reach and impact without sacrificing all of your waking hours!

Nicola created JigsawBox as a way for her clients to access her expertise online in a flexible and affordable way, whilst leaving her free to concentrate on growing her business, travelling and spending time with her young children. Now Nicola has developed JigsawBox as a tool for coaches, consultants and trainers to package up their expertise and deliver it online so that they can create more time, money and freedom to do the stuff they love.
