Carolin is a well respected business coach, specializing in helping passion-driven women bring their skills to the world and launch thriving online coaching businesses with international reach, make an impact, and create free and abundant lives. She's built a seven figure business while maintaining a healthy work-life balance b/c she's so dedicated to being fully present with her two young boys.

Mission: Helping women create the life of their dreams by empowering them and giving them the tools they need to do just that.

Mistake: When she first started, she spent her first year-and-a-half tied to her desk, working alone and focusing on doing things cheaply instead of with quality. It was fear that held her back from quitting her corporate job and committing fully to her business, and because of that her personal relationship with her family, her business, and her sanity suffered.

-Quote: “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it! Begin it now.” - William Hutchison Murray

She wants them to feel that they are limitless and free to do what they want to, whether that means college or just finding a job, and to go for what they are driven to do.
