Sigrun on Her CEO Journey: Building a Profitable 8 Figures Online Business and Accelerating Gender Equality Through Female Entrepreneurship - The Journey of Sigrun (Financial Vision)
Sigrun Gudjonsdottir joined Christina Sjahli on Her CEO Journey: The Business Finance Podcast for Mission-Driven Women Entrepreneurs on October 17, 2019 to talk about building a profitable online business and her financial vision.
About this episode
Sigrun looks back on becoming CEO of a start-up with many financial mistakes, and turning a loss-making company around in 11 months. She then tells how she started her online business in 2014: her first paying client at $180 an hour, growing her list from 300 to 2,000 people with a weekly webinar, and an online course that failed. She explains how SOMBA was born, why she chooses to run her business with high operating costs on purpose, and how it all ties to her mission to speed up gender equality through female entrepreneurship.
