The internet has made the world much smaller. Today, entrepreneurs with an online business can attract clients from all over he globe. Even speaking different languages is no longer an issue. In this Client Case Study episode of The Sigrun Show, Renate Schmidt explains how and why she took her offline coaching business online - and international. Better yet, she also shares insights into how this has increased her income.

Renate is a psychologist, integral business coach, and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioner who loves helping female entrepreneurs live life to the fullest. She has been navigating the business world for 20 years and has had her fair share of experience in shifting her business model. Her introduction to entrepreneurship was inspired by her father while growing up in an entrepreneurial household.

In this Client Case Study episode, Renate shares how she transitioned her offline business coaching model to an online business model. She discusses her journey as a very young entrepreneur and what led her to make the shift from practicing clinical psychology to empowering female entrepreneurs. She also shares how shifting her business online and joining a mastermind group has greatly impacted her perspective and her company’s revenue.
