Be honest. Doesn't adding an extra revenue stream to your business sound nice, especially in times like these?
Jessica Lorimer can help with that.
She had a successful corporate career, being one of the industry's highest performing sales people, until she was diagnosed with a chronic illness. Her doctor told her she either had to dial back on her working hours or be in a wheelchair by the time she turned 35.
Jessica took this as an opportunity to create her own business, and today is responsible for the huge success of entrepreneurs selling their services to corporate organisations across the globe, adding corporate revenue to their businesses. As Jessica says, "If you want to generate the cash flow to help your online business take off, get a corporate revenue stream. The average UK corporate sale is worth £10K, the average B2C sale is worth £1'500. You can work less hard to generate 5 times the amount."
If you feel more than ever that your business could use an extra revenue stream, then this episode with Jessica is a must-listen.
But adding a corporate revenue stream to your business isn't only about making extra money - it also increases your credibility. Jessica says that even though books have become a huge credibility factor, nowadays everyone can write them. It's different having a corporate revenue stream: "Only qualified people can add a corporate revenue stream because corporations are not going to buy from anybody they don't believe in."
On this episode of the Sigrun Show, you will hear all about how to create your own corporate revenue stream, plus an incredible story about one of Jessica's clients who used to sell one-to-one services to women going through menopause and ended up selling to corporate clients instead.
I hugely resonate with Jessica's mission to make female business owners generate big impact and income, and appreciate her straightforwardness.
So whether you want to generate more revenue, gain credibility or try out something that might be outside your comfort zone, this episode will help you.
"If you want to generate the cash flow to help your online business take off, get a corporate revenue stream."

We discuss how many million-dollar business owners are pivoting their business models and doubling down on their marketing, despite the coronavirus pandemic and current economy and why it's critical to double down and continue your networking and marketing efforts. We also discuss the importance of your mindset during times of uncertainty, documenting your processes to increase efficiency, and why it's crucial to keep your customers' needs at the forefront of your marketing efforts.

Here's the truth: None of us have seen a global pandemic before. Some of us have gone through recessions and a few of us have turnaround experience. Personally, I've gone through two recessions that turned out to be great opportunities and was a successful turnaround CEO for a number of years.
It's become clearer what we need to do in terms of the Coronavirus - social distancing is the new way - and now the bigger challenge is the global recession where every individual and company will be impacted.
But the impact will be smaller the more you prepare and do now.

The Coronavirus has taken the world by storm, affecting millions of families and businesses. In these shaky economic times, many business owners have fears and uncertainty about what the future holds for their business, and are faced with making difficult decisions. How can we, as business owners, continue to thrive in an economic recession? What changes can we make to ensure our success and future-proof our business?
In today's episode, I share the steps I'm taking to pivot my business and the lessons you can learn from my experience with turnarounds. I share how I prepared my team for the changes I plan to make in my business and the steps we took to give my clients, community, and our team the confidence that we are here for them. I also discuss how to identify where you can save money and cut costs and the importance of evaluating your financial goals. I also share how pivoting your message or offerings can help you recession-proof your business.
"You have to be willing to make decisions without having all the information, because if you make the decision too late - you have lost too much."

She has done six years of research in the development of infectious diseases and oversees medical affairs in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. Anne calls herself "part of the police force" of the pharmaceutical industry, gathering, reporting and researching data to train doctors and health care professionals.
In this episode, Anne explains what the Coronavirus is and highlights the top 2 symptoms you need to look out for. She talks about the impact the Coronavirus has on a global level and how it differs from the regular flu, answering questions like why masks don't fully protect you and why the spread of the virus is so different from country to country. Anne says that contrary to what many believe, the virus does affect younger people too, but that now is no time for fear - fear actually makes you more vulnerable. We discuss why as entrepreneurs, we have to be in a place of power and not let the situation consume our lives, and what being creative, positive and kind can do for you and your business.
"We are in a state of chaos, but we need to choose to be in a place of power and make a new normal, especially as entrepreneurs." - Anne Arvizu

The coronavirus outbreak, the falling stock market, and the looming recession - all these events are filling the news recently. You might be worried about how they can impact you and your online business. The viral outbreak can indeed have economic consequences, but as a business turnaround expert and eternal optimist, I think this downturn opens up a lot of doors for entrepreneurs. As a business owner, how should you handle a downturn? What business opportunities can we expect during this time?
In this episode, I share details about the coronavirus' spread in Iceland. I explain how the outbreak can impact the economy and industries, particularly, airline, hotel, restaurant, and event companies. I describe how everyone can help slow down the spread of the virus, and illustrate how COVID-19 can affect supply chains and consumer electronics. I also highlight how the looming recession and the viral outbreak can open up opportunities for entrepreneurs, especially for business consultants.
"A recession is a time of opportunity if you choose to see it that way. It gives you a chance to be proactive; the key is to make a decision before it's too late." - Sigrun
