We are so excited to start off the 2021 year with another installment of “This is Their Story”. For this episode, we had the privilege of interview Sarah Hagstrom who is a plant-based health coach turned life and business mentor for online coaches.

Sarah’s story is unique but in many ways is familiar to so many other entrepreneurs struggling to start their own online business.

Here is what she says about her own journey with her husband Peter:

Our journey started with a documentary and a book. The documentary was “Food Matters” and the book was “The Four Hour Work Week”. After watching that documentary, we changed our diet right away and it changed our lives. We wanted to help everyone get healthy. You can probably relate? :)

Then we read “The Four Hour Work Week” and the thought of working only four hours a week, having freedom, and helping others lit us up more than our steady careers. So it was decided: we were going to be entrepreneurs!

Unfortunately, the book forgot to include how HARD entrepreneurship is (or maybe it did but we just overlooked that small but VERY important detail #oops).

There were many nights of crying because "nothing was working" and because "maybe we're not cut out for this". But the truth is we had no idea what we were doing. Our heart was in the right place but we were just copying what other "successful people" were doing, and it wasn't working.

Once we figured that out, we were able to go from helping a few people to helping 100's. From making a few hundred dollars to making a few thousand.

Sarah shares so many powerful insights as she discusses her entrepreneurial journey, including overcoming fears, hiring someone to help (like a business coach), and taking one step at a time while being open to the opportunities that will come next. Her story is sure to empower anyone who is currently struggling in their entrepreneurial journey.
