She Thinks Big
By Barbora Micenkova
I am Barbora, an ex-google engineer and a mother. I left my secure 6-fig job to found a 6-fig online business and since then, I’ve been helping others do the same.
I'll share strategies on how to start and grow an online business. I'll bring in inspiring founders to share their strategies and interview passion-driven entrepreneurs who created a life on their own terms.
She Thinks BigDec 01, 2022
#1 From Unemployment to a 7-Figure Business with Sigrun
They told her that she was unemployable, so she started a multi-million dollar business. Not for the money, but for the freedom.
Today, Sigrun Gudjonsdottir is one of the most renowned online business mentors, a TEDx speaker and a podcast host herself.
In this interview she was very candid about how confusing the beginning of her entrepreneurship was and how many mistakes she made before she made her business work. She says that the beginning is the hardest.
Sigrun is also my own mentor and I am thrilled to have her as the first guest of my podcast.
