If you want to enjoy success in online business, you’ll need to buckle up and prepare yourself. The entrepreneurial rollercoaster is filled with highs, lows, and unexpected twists. In this Client Case Study, I welcome Claudia Nichterl to The Sigrun Show. With 17 years of experience as an entrepreneur, she has ridden this ride multiple times!
Claudia is a nutritionist and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) expert who did more than 7,000 nutrition consultations and created over 1,000 cooking courses in the last 17 years. She is also a lecturer at the Danube University and Viennese School of TCM. She encourages others to be healthy and fit and offers simple yet delightful meals through hundreds of recipes from the cookbooks she has written.
In this Client Case Study episode, Claudia shares the entrepreneurial rollercoaster ride she went through as she discusses the ups and downs of her business. She shares how she got 80 sales on her first online course, explains who she writes the books for, and what happened after she left her day job to become a full-time entrepreneur. She also shares the importance of asking for help as you simplify your business model and how her mastermind group helped her not only in the direction of her business but also during one of the toughest times in her personal life.
