Bao Nguyen SOMBA® Kickstart 2025 · AI Coach · Germany

From No Online Experience to €64K In 9 Months

“Freelancing for large corporations was exhausting and I worked long hours. I wanted to have a thriving online business! But I had zero course ideas and no email list – so I felt like I was starting from scratch.”
“Thanks to SOMBA® Kickstart, I created my first course and made €12k! Then I had my first launch where I went all-in and made €50k in 10 weeks. I’ve helped so many women this year – I finally found my passion!”

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

Bao had 7 years’ experience working in the German tech industry – and wanted a thriving online business. She joined SOMBA® Kickstart starting from scratch – zero course ideas and no email list.

During SOMBA® Kickstart

Bao loved the structure and unparalleled support inside the program, she:

Grew her email list to 367.
Attracted 329 people to her free course.
Made €12,510 from her upsell.

“Without SOMBA® Kickstart, achieving these milestones would have taken me so much longer.”

Agnieszka Figielek SOMBA® Kickstart 2023 · Architect · Poland

From Struggling Studio to €250K in 2 Years

“After two years of pandemic struggles, we had to transform our business completely. Through SOMBA® Kickstart, we went from barely having clients to making €250K over two years.”
“Our offline practice is thriving too. We built a vibrant community of architects and discovered a whole new way of doing business that makes us genuinely happy.”

Read her full review

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

After the COVID pandemic, Agnieszka’s offline architecture business was struggling. "We didn't have that many clients... we had to have success and results immediately." She knew she needed to take her expertise online but didn't know how.

During SOMBA® Kickstart

Agnieszka learned to overcome her scarcity mindset around sharing expertise. Then a pivotal moment came where she discovered her true audience – architects, not homeowners.

Following the SOMBA® Kickstart process, Agnieszka quickly pivoted their entire strategy.
Her first free training attracted 1,200 architects, with 400 completing it.
20 of them bought her upsell, making €36,000.

After SOMBA® Kickstart

Agnieszka’s business has continued to thrive, and she scaled it to €250,000 within two years. She built a vibrant online community of architects and her impact multiplied 5x – from designing 10 houses herself to enabling 50 zero-energy buildings through her students.

“While I had no experience with online business before joining Kickstart, the teachings of this program will be a major component of my strategy in the future.”

Claudia Witticke SOMBA® Kickstart 2020 · Fabric Store Owner · Italy

From Small Town Fabric Store to €200K Online Business in 1 Year

“Investing in Sigrun’s program was the best business decision I ever made. Bringing my business from offline to online made my annual revenue grow by €150K. Overall, I made €200K in my first year in online business. In 2022, I fully closed down my shop. I had more time to focus on online and now it's a really big relief. Now I'm with my kids on my own. It's quite nice, because it can be at home when the kids come home from school instead of being stuck at the store. It's definitely a relief.”

Read her full review

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

"I had a tiny fabric store and was running offline sewing classes. I was doing okay, but not really making a lot of money. It was enough to survive and have one employee, but it wasn't prospering." When the pandemic hit Italy, Claudia was forced to close her shop and classes completely.

During SOMBA® Kickstart

Claudia turned to online teaching, reaching out to her Facebook followers. "I spread the word that I was doing online sewing classes and had around 900 sign-ups for my first webinar." Within three days, she sold 15 spots in her first paid course, and continued selling through webinars.

After SOMBA® Kickstart

Bringing her business from offline to online made her annual revenue grow by €150K.

Svenja Hirsch SOMBA® Kickstart 2021 · Business Book Mentor · Germany

Overcoming Mindset Blocks to Enjoy Her Dream Career

“I had to take myself away from people who play it small and go to other people who are thinking differently, and believe that I could create my own life. I was saw that anything was possible!”

Read her full review

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

Svenja had lifelong passion for books, but did not believe that she could turn her passion into profits. “I always loved books. As a child, my favourite place was in my bed or on the couch reading a book, and I studied literature. I was a freelancer for a long, long time because I didn’t really believe that I could make money with books.” Svenja published books as a side hustle, but struggled to find work and her income was limited to €20k despite working long hours.

During SOMBA® Kickstart

Svenja put her fears to one side and joined SOMBA® Kickstart to start an online business publishing non-fiction books. Svenja created her first online course in the program, and recouped her investment thanks to a 60% conversion rate. She built on this, nurturing her mailing list, launching a group program, and repeated the course throughout the year, doubling her previous income in 2021 alone.

After SOMBA® Kickstart

Maintaining this “rinse and repeat” approach paid dividends for Svenja. She now has a 6-figure business, all built upon the 4-week course she created in SOMBA® Kickstart! Svenja is now booked as a speaker at events, regularly attends book fairs, and upgraded from a small apartment to a larger home with a garden - while overcoming her introverted nature to enjoy her dream career.

“Kickstart allowed a transition from helping 13 people to being able to help thousands of people at the same time - to be able to reach people from all over the world. Going online this way has helped so many more women with pelvic pain and it's just incredible. I'm just so thankful how many women I can help every day, thanks to Sigrun.”
Frida T - Interviewed 2024 SOMBA® Kickstart 2024 · Yoga Instructor
“I absolutely recommend Kickstart, because it's an implementation program. You're getting things done, you are guided, you can ask for help, you are in an awesome group that cheers you on. The investment is absolutely worth it. If you believe in yourself and in your idea, then it's absolutely worth testing it out. Think about your ideal client; you are here to solve problems for people, and this is where everything starts. So invest in yourself!”
Kathrin Pichler SOMBA® Kickstart 2026 · Time Management Expert
“When I joined Kickstart, it was very obvious from the first moment that everything in there is very, very well thought out. The structure, the amazing team, Sigrun's overview of everything. If you are serious about creating a business, join SOMBA Kickstart. Don't even think about it. There's no better place to be. The tools, the knowledge, the expertise, the trustworthiness, the support - everything is there. You don't need to look anywhere else.”
Magda Kazoli SOMBA® Kickstart 2026 · Fashion Industry Consultant
“I can hardly believe where I am now compared to before Kickstart! Thanks to this wonderful adventure, I not only found a new path in my life and created my first online course, but I have learned so much about myself! Now, sharing my knowledge feels empowering, like having wind beneath my wings, and that is all thanks to Kickstart – bring on the next challenge!”
Natalia Lowicka SOMBA® Kickstart 2023 · Photographer
“My email list ended up having over 1,000 contacts during the program. My Instagram went to 1,300 followers. Facebook was about 1,000 plus, and I now have almost 900 connections on LinkedIn, so I really increased my visibility across all platforms”
Adina Petre SOMBA® Kickstart 2024 · Psychologist
“I am really proud of myself that I finished, and I have an online course ready. I would definitely recommend SOMBA Kickstart to anyone who needs support, accountability, a step-by-step approach - and some kind of kick in the butt!”

From Zero to €80K & Team of Four With A Baby

“For the first time, I really love what I’m doing!”

Read her full review

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

When Emily joined SOMBA® Kickstart, she needed to work from home, as she had no support network to help with a nine-month-old baby.

During SOMBA® Kickstart

Inspired by the 12 Days of Masterclasses®, Emily joined the program, feeling that, “if I will not invest in myself, then why should others do it?” During the 12 weeks, Emily:

Attracted 1,300 names to her mailing list.
Made 15 upsells after her 4-week course, generating revenue of €4,500.

After SOMBA® Kickstart

The course that Emily created during SOMBA® Kickstart is now her signature program. She’s continued to grow her business:

With a team of four people.
An email list of 5,000.
Generated €80K over the last 18 months.

She now enjoys a reliable and sustainable revenue stream – all while working a job that she truly loves.

"If everyone follows Sigrun’s process, they can succeed. If I was able to do it with a baby and no help, starting from zero, then others can too.”

Ingrid Dach SOMBA® Kickstart 2020 · Sales Copywriter · Czechia

From €20K/Year To €400K/Year In 2 Years

“Before Sigrun, I made €2K - €3K a month and never imagined to have such big launches. Then I met Sigrun and was blown away by my six-figure launches.”

Read her full review

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

A PhD physicist turned copywriter, Ingrid was doing 1:1 client work and went back to work just one month after her third baby was born. "I was spending less time with my family, and even though I worked so many hours, not a lot of money was coming in."

During SOMBA® Kickstart

During the 10-week sprint, Ingrid created her first online course about writing "about me" pages. "I already had all the knowledge and content to create a course, I just needed to structure it." She attracted 544 signups for her free course.

After SOMBA® Kickstart

This was just the beginning. Ingrid went on to join Momentum, where she:

Had a €39K launch.
Had her first six-figure launch of €150K.
Earned €400K seven months into 2021 – a dramatic increase from her previous €20K yearly revenue.

“I was blown away!”

Judith Peters SOMBA® Kickstart 2018 · Blogger and Copywriter · Germany

From Overworked to €500K With Three Children

“You won't overcome fears by just thinking or planning. You have to take action. When I did, I discovered I was really good at this. It was mind-blowing – a complete game-changer!”

Read her full review

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

"I was very shy about raising my prices." As a freelance copywriter with three small children for little reward, "I worked a lot for not so much money." As the family breadwinner with a student husband, she struggled when agencies started booking her less due to her family commitments.

During SOMBA® Kickstart

"I created the idea for my very first 4-week copywriting online course with my smartphone while nursing my third child in bed. And this was the beginning, the start of my new life as an online business entrepreneur." Within a year of starting, she was able to buy a house.

After SOMBA® Kickstart

Her copywriting course grew into a six-figure business.
Then in November 2020, she made a bold move – killing her successful course to focus purely on blogging. "My new course emerged and it was my first six-figure launch.”

Today, she's known as the go-to blogging expert, proving that even "a hardcore introvert" can build a thriving online business.

“I can only say that Sigrun believed in me before I believed in myself, and that changed my life and my business.”

Sabine Lackner SOMBA® Kickstart 2022 · Pet and Equine Fine Artist · Austria

“I was working a 20-hour office job and selling pet portraits on the side. I always loved to draw animals and create portraits, and I wanted to have time for my daughter. I had some troubles getting her to kindergarten, and I always had to ask the office for time off when she was ill. I was never sure if I had enough holiday and so on.”
“Through SOMBA Kickstart, I created my first drawing course that attracted 600 free signups and sold 51 spots at $17,000. Within two years, I grew to 450 membership members, quit my office job, and hit my first six-figure year teaching people how to draw animals!”

“Sigrun is a real role model to women in business. With her direct, no-nonsense approach, she practises what she preaches. The whole program had a great energy and community.”
Julia Dossi SOMBA® Kickstart 2024 · Antique and Home Decor Coach
“I was looking for flexibility in my working life, as I have two young children that take up a lot of my time, and Kickstart taught me how to create a contemporary, high-quality international online course.”
Dana Indane-Surkiene SOMBA® Kickstart 2023 · Voice Trainer
“If you are prepared to make time, put in the work and trust the process, I recommend Kickstart to anybody who wants to grow their online business.”

Disappointed By Other Online Courses

“I got to know my ideal client much better during SOMBA Kickstart - if you always have your ideal client in mind, you cannot go wrong. I made 28 upsells, and I had a revenue of €7,500.”
Annette Gevatter SOMBA® Kickstart 2024 · Watercolor Painting Coach
“The biggest thing Kickstart gave me was the confidence to sell. I had sold courses years ago and hadn't liked it, so I thought selling just wasn't for me. But I found out that because it's my own course, something I genuinely believe in, I can actually do it. I'm not nervous. I have no problem presenting what I'm offering because I feel secure about it. That has changed how I approach my whole business.”

“I did not have to watch 20 tutorials and then still not understand what to do and what's the right choice. SOMBA Kickstart just provides the information needed, and that's absolutely perfect.”
Andrea Frevel SOMBA® Kickstart 2024 · TCM Practicioner
“Buy this program. I'm not usually the kind of person to say that, but over the last five years, I have never seen results like this. I feel stronger than before, and that is so important.”
Beatrice Petitdemange SOMBA® Kickstart 2025 · Menopause Health Coach
“I've already done a lot of mindset coaching, a lot of business coaching, a lot of marketing - I even have a degree in digital marketing. But I got more out of Kickstart than anything before, because Sigrun said: we're going to work on this, this, this, and this - and then you guys delivered it. Hands-on, and for me, the right pace. Price-wise, this was a lot better than what I'd already spent - and I got more results from it than anything I've done before.”

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

Working a diplomatic job in Paris while running online courses as a side hustle, Veronika was trapped in a cycle of constant course creation. “I was the perfect example of your spaghetti marketing theory. I created a new course every three months because I didn’t know any better. After 10 months, I was already becoming exhausted.”

During SOMBA® Kickstart

Despite initial hesitation, Veronika joined after a transformative hot seat session with Sigrun. Even through challenges like health challenges, she persevered with the program, learning to trust the process and overcome her scarcity mindset.

Tech Overwhelm

Feeling Empowered By Tech

Andrea Frevel SOMBA® Kickstart 2024 · TCM Practitioner & Nutrition Expert · Austria

From Tech Overwhelm to 200 Online Students

“My learning curve was 100% vertical. After three months, I felt my money was so well invested because I learned so much.”

Read her full review

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

As a TCM practitioner with 13 years of experience, Andrea was limited to one-on-one sessions. "I've been trying for several years to build something myself, to get an idea on how this works, but I failed miserably!" She struggled with the technical aspects of online business, feeling overwhelmed by the endless options.

During SOMBA® Kickstart

The program provided clear, targeted guidance that eliminated Andrea’s tech overwhelm. "The tutorial videos were just amazing. I did not have to watch 20 tutorials and then still not understand what to do." She created a nutrition course and:

Surpassed her initial goal of 100 participants, reaching almost 200 sign-ups.
Made over €1,200 in revenue.

After SOMBA® Kickstart

With both technical skills and newfound confidence, Andrea has transformed her business approach. "I overcame existing limitations of being afraid to get out there with my offer. I realised that, if I don't try, I would never find out if I could be successful.

“SOMBA® Kickstart is the best foundation for an online business that I could possibly imagine."

Read her full review

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

Britta was thinking about creating an online course for years. But she didn't like Sigrun's style. But over time, following Sigrun's content and reading her book, something shifted.

During SOMBA® Kickstart

During the program, Britta focused on what she knew best: fabric knowledge and set an ambitious goal of 1,000 sign-ups.

After SOMBA® Kickstart

Her first launch beat her goal, attracting 1,200 free signups, and her upsell course made €27,000 in revenue.

"SOMBA® Kickstart was one of the best things I have done this year; it's definitely been my best year ever."

“Joining SOMBA Kickstart was the best decision, and one of the best investments I ever made ... I am now a business owner!”
Asia Niedzwiedzka SOMBA® Kickstart 2025 · Yoga Instructor
“Kickstart allowed a transition from helping 13 people to being able to help thousands of people at the same time - to be able to reach people from all over the world. Going online this way has helped so many more women with pelvic pain and it's just incredible. I'm just so thankful how many women I can help every day, thanks to Sigrun.”
Frida T - Interviewed 2024 SOMBA® Kickstart 2024 · Yoga Instructor
“SOMBA Kickstart is an amazing programme to define your online business and, define yourself and your next few years. It's a great and professional course for building a business, but it's also a very strong self-awareness course.”
Laura Dobrosi SOMBA® Kickstart 2024 · Face Yoga Instructor
“I feel a lot more confidence now as a business owner. There were these quick decisions all the time, and that helped me. It kind of forced me to step into the shoes of: I am the CEO of this business. And just attracting these many people, helping these many people, interacting with them and really hearing the transformations they had - it really showed me how competent I am as a business owner and with what I do as a coach. And that's really something that I'm bringing with me into the next phase of my business.”
Lina Lundkvist SOMBA® Kickstart 2026 · Fertility Awareness Educator
“I am so glad that I trusted the Kickstart process, as the step-by-step guidance of Sigrun and her team helped me keep up my momentum and ensured I was always moving forward.”
Michaela Gemuth SOMBA® Kickstart 2023 · Spanish Language Coach
“My email list ended up having over 1,000 contacts during the program. My Instagram went to 1,300 followers. Facebook was about 1,000 plus, and I now have almost 900 connections on LinkedIn, so I really increased my visibility across all platforms”

From Teaching Locally To Helping 620 Artists At Once

“Sigrun opened up a whole new world to me”

Read her full review

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

Annette, who is in her late 50s, worked as a graphic designer all her life. She taught her passion for drawing and painting at a local school, but wanted to reach more people. She joined another program to launch an online course, but lacked support.

During SOMBA® Kickstart

Attracted 600 people to the course.
Made 28 upsells, earning €7,500.

After SOMBA® Kickstart

Annette has discovered her passion in life: supporting artists to feel confident with their tools and techniques to create the masterpieces they want. She intends to extend her courses to further support her audience.

"SOMBA® Kickstart is a game changer for online business, because you'll figure out so many things which are essential to know, even if you will not go to online business."

Silvia Domenghetti SOMBA® Kickstart 2024 · Business Italian Teacher · Italy

From No Experience To An Online Course In 12 Weeks

“SOMBA® Kickstart is a journey to understand more of yourself or be aware of things that you were unaware of, no matter if you are already in online business.”

Read her full review

Before SOMBA® Kickstart

As an employee with no online business experience, Silvia was hesitant to begin. "I was very scared, because my current job is not related to online business. I was really on social media just to watch what other people say and do." After watching half of Sigrun's 12 Days of Masterclasses®, she decided it was "now or never."

During SOMBA® Kickstart

Despite finding the tech challenging, especially "understanding what a domain is," Silvia persevered with the program's excellent support. On her coach's suggestion, she pivoted from teaching sewing to Business Italian. "The main thing I learned was mindset. I did not expect to change my mindset completely in a few weeks. I thought the time was too short."

After SOMBA® Kickstart

Silvia has transformed her mindset and discovered entrepreneurial skills.
Confidently building her business teaching Italian to entrepreneurs and professionals.
Refining her offer and developing her unique approach to helping business professionals master Italian.

"Beyond numbers and results, it's a journey to understand more of yourself or be aware of things that you were unaware of."
