Working hard is important to success as an entrepreneur, but so is self-care. If you do not take breaks and look after yourself, you risk burning out. In this episode of The Sigrun Show, I welcome Gudrun Mahlberg. Gudrun has some fascinating insights to share on how she ran her first online course while on holiday.

Gudrun is a mother of four, a passionate dance teacher, and the founder of Shandora, a company that teaches the art, beauty, and calming benefits of yoga and dance. For over 30 years, she has been passionate about dance and how your body’s movements impact your joy and happiness as well as its connection to “the sacred feminine.”

Gudrun shares how she pivoted her career from working a full-time job to starting her dream business and becoming a successful online entrepreneur. She explains how she ran her first online course while on holiday in France and the impact that course had on her audience and students. She also shares why entrepreneurs need to connect with a coach as well as seek support as they grow their business and how they can help you believe in yourself and your dreams - even when you’re not feeling confident.
