[Client Case Study] How I Found Passion and Freedom with Online Summits on Down Syndrome with Mareike Fuisz
Passion and freedom are two of the key elements of online business. If you are not experiencing these feelings, it may time to consider pivoting. This episode of The Sigrun Show is a Client Case Study that showcases how this can be possible.
Mareike Fuisz is an online entrepreneur and speaker on freedom mindset and Down Syndrome. A former Vice President in a telecommunications company, Mareike is now a pioneer and innovator in the Down Syndrome community as she introduces new projects and new ways of exchanging information about the condition. She is also a creator and organizer of online summits on Down Syndrome and provides support through her online community Down Syndrome - Easier Life.
In this Client Case Study episode, Mareike shares how her original “why” as a young child has come full circle and become a vehicle for personal growth, professional growth, and freedom. She explains how she came up with the idea of having an online summit about Down Syndrome, the fears she initially had about the topic, as well as the benefits of having a highly committed community on a particular niche. She also shares what the Freedom Chromosome is and how it has liberated her and others of their mindset about Down Syndrome.
