  • 300th Episode Celebration: Best Business Advice from 13 Successful Online Entrepreneurs

    Throughout my journey as an online entrepreneur, I have discovered and met hundreds of inspiring, motivating entrepreneurs. Since launching The Sigrun Show in August 2017, I have had the opportunity and pleasure of meeting even more high-achieving entrepreneurs who are truly making a difference and impact in their industries.

    These entrepreneurs are people like you and me - people that are out there following their dreams, taking action, and achieving great success.

    So, to celebrate our 300th episode milestone, I invited 13 amazing guests I've had on the show before to share their best business advice for aspiring online business owners.

    Here's what they said…

    Invest in Yourself

    Jasmine Star dropped out of law school to follow her passion for photography and has never looked back. She has built a successful online business based on her passion. I first met Jasmine 10 years ago on Creative Live where she was teaching others how to take beautiful, professional wedding photos.

    Last year, I interviewed Jasmine as a special guest on The Sigrun Show to share her strategy for attracting raving fans on social media - particularly on Instagram.

    In this episode, she shares why online entrepreneurs need to double down on what they know, who they are, and truly believe that they are enough to make an impact in the world. She also shares why investing in yourself is one of the most valuable - and important - decisions you can make as a budding entrepreneur.

    Jasmine Star's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "Double down on what you know. Double down on who you are. Double down on where you need to go."

    Follow Your Gut Instincts

    When I first met Tamiko Kelly at BBD Live in California, I instantly found her story and business fascinating. When I launched my podcast, I knew her story would inspire many aspiring female entrepreneurs. Tamiko joined me on episode 274 where she shared how she built a thriving online business as a baby sleep trainer.

    In this episode, she shares why your opinion is the only one that truly matters as an entrepreneur and the importance of following your gut instincts as you build your online empire.

    Tamiko Kelly's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "The only opinion that matters is yours. It's your business. You have the freedom to run it however you want."

    Envision Yourself as Successful

    Nicole Holland is the founder of Interviews That Convert and the host of the Business Building Rockstars Show. I was first introduced to Nicole by a friend who suggested I listen to her show. Shortly after, her podcast agency reached out to request that I interview Nicole on my show, where she shared how to be a great podcast guest and run a top-notch show - and we quickly became friends.

    To celebrate episode 300, Nicole shares why it's important for entrepreneurs to view themselves as successful - even before they've achieved the success they desire. She also explains why it's critical to hold onto your vision of success - no matter what.

    Nicole Holland's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "As long as you are holding that vision of yourself as a success and taking aligned actions to move directly toward that success - you will be successful."

    Create a Simple Plan - and Stick to It

    Caroline Balinska is the creator of eCommerce Marketing Lab. She is a serial entrepreneur who has built several online businesses and has learned many valuable lessons along the way. She joined me on episode 245 to share tips for creating a successful ecommerce strategy.

    In this episode, she shares why she believes the key to building a successful online business is through intentional planning and avoiding shiny object syndrome.

    Caroline Balinska's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "Create a simple plan. Work backwards from where your goal is."

    Make Your Physical & Emotional Wellbeing Top Priority

    I've known Lisa Carpenter online for several years through various Facebook groups. She is an author, speaker, educator, and coach that teaches high-achieving entrepreneurs how to unleash their inner power and establish personal and professional boundaries that will catapult their businesses - and their lives - into the success they desire.

    Lisa joined me on episode 247 where she discussed why entrepreneurs need to stop pushing their way to success - and how to do it - so it's no surprise that her top tip for achieving success as an online entrepreneur is to make your health as well as your physical and emotional wellbeing your top priority.

    Lisa Carpenter's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "If you want to create massive impact and massive influence, you must show up as your best self everyday. This means making rest a non-negotiable part of your business strategy. You can't have a thriving business if you are falling apart."

    Add a Personal Touch to Your Business

    I first met Rachael Cook through a mutual friend. In 2015, we were also part of a mastermind group together and have watched each other's businesses sour over the years. She is an award-winning business strategist focused on helping small business owners, entrepreneurs, startups, and executive leaders design their business and careers in a way that works for them.

    I recently interviewed Rachael on episode 273 where she shared her powerful strategy for planning your best year yet as a CEO and online entrepreneur.

    Today, she shares why doing the things that don't scale and adding a personal touch to your online business are the keys to standing out among your competitors.

    Rachael Cook's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "Those little personal touches matter. That's what helps you truly stand out."

    Short-Term Action Creates Long-Term Impact

    Jason Brown is the founder and Senior Coach at The Brown Report and is one of a few guests I've had the pleasure of interviewing multiple times on the show. Jason made his first appearance on The Sigrun Show on episode 182 where he shared tips on how to successfully start investing in the stock market. He came back on episode 199 to share his strategy for automating his sales funnel with YouTube.

    Today, Jason shares why his top piece of advice for budding online entrepreneurs is to understand that even though the actions and steps you take today may not reap immediate rewards - the long-term returns on your investment can be so much sweeter.

    Jason Brown's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "The results you're getting today are in direct relationship to the things you did 6 to 12 months ago."

    Take Imperfect Action

    Lisa Corduff is the creator of Keepin' Food Real and Small Steps to Wholefoods. I first met Lisa two years ago at a mastermind group we attended together and we quickly became friends. Lisa joined me on episode 77 where she explained why being authentic is critical for building a thriving, successful online business.

    Today, Lisa shares why taking imperfect action, letting go of the idea of perfection, and avoiding comparing yourself to others is the key to succeeding in online business.

    Lisa Corduff's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "Imperfect action is going to take you further, faster."

    Aim for Joy in Your Online Business

    Natalie Sisson is another one of the few guests I've had the pleasure of featuring on the show on more than one occasion. Her first appearance was on episode 9 where she shared how she took a sabbatical from her business, the Suitcase Entrepreneur On episode 258, she re-joined me to explain what a freedom plan is and how to create one as well as how she turned her online course into a phenomenal book.

    Natalie is one of the first online entrepreneurs I started following in my entrepreneurial journey and today she shares why it's important for entrepreneurs to avoid getting caught up in the detail and instead - focus on what brings you the most joy and happiness.

    Natalie Sisson's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "Don't ever get caught up in too much of the detail. Remember to focus on how you can bring joy into all the work you do - because it shows."

    Know Your Audience - Before You Start Marketing

    I initially met Ben Amos at Chris Ducker's Youpreneur Summit in London in 2017. He is the Creative Director of Innovate Media. He joined me on episode 203 to explain why every online entrepreneur needs to create a video marketing strategy for their online business.

    So it's not surprising that when I asked Ben to share his top piece of business advice for online business owners, he explains why it's critical for entrepreneurs to spend time and energy on truly understanding who their audience is and their profile behaviors before creating a marketing strategy.

    Ben Amos' Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "Before any marketing activity, always seek first to really know your audience. Not just demographics but their psychographics and profile behavior."

    Find What Works For YOU

    Jasmine Shea, also known as Jazzy Things, is the creator of Your Dinner Is Planned. She is a genius when it comes to creating quick and easy dinner plans for busy entrepreneurs and moms. She made her debut appearance on The Sigrun Show on episode 244 when she shared creative strategies for busy online entrepreneurs to create super simple dinner plans. On episode 263, she shared her strategy for building a massive following on Instagram.

    Her advice for busy entrepreneurs is to simply find what works best for you and to align your personal priorities, values, and health goals in order to create a sustainable life that makes you feel good inside and out.

    Jasmine Shea's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "Feeling good is the foundation of a prosperous business."

    Be Yourself. Be Authentic.

    Shazzie is my dear friend, mastermind buddy, and the host of Sky TV's Raw Kitchen. When I first introduced Shazzie to my podcast listeners on episode 19, she shared some powerful tips on how to grow your first million as an online entrepreneur. She re-joined me on episode 206 to discuss how online health coaches can earn their first $30,000 in their first 6-months of online business and why being consistent in your online and content marketing is critical to your success.

    Today, Shazzie shares how doubling down on being her authentic self has helped her build multiple, highly-successful online businesses.

    Shazzie's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: "Be yourself. Everyone else is taken."

    Learn the Art of Persuasion

    Colin Boyd is a certified professional speaker, trainer, and NLP practitioner who I have had the pleasure of interviewing on episode 57. He shared strategies for effectively selling your products, services, and programs on stage at speaking events.

    Colin has truly honed the art public speaking, and I couldn't resist inviting him as a guest speaker at my upcoming VIP Mastermind Retreat as well as teaching a masterclass for my SOMBA clients.

    He is such a powerful and persuasive speaker and presenter, it's not surprising that his best business advice is to be obsessed with learning the fine art of communicating your message persuasively.

    Colin Boyd's Best Business Advice for Online Entrepreneurs: " If you don't know how to communicate your message to your audience in an engaging and persuasive way - your business is not going to grow."

    Let's Celebrate!

    When I launched The Sigrun Show a year and a half ago, it was a dream come true. To achieve 300 episodes in such a short time is a milestone I am truly proud of. I'm grateful for all of the guests that have come on the show and special thanks to those who have come back to help us celebrate our 300th episode!

    This 300th episode also marks a change for The Sigrun Show where I'll be releasing one episode per week - every Wednesday - as well as reading some of the amazing feedback my listeners have shared. I am truly grateful to each of you for being amazingly supportive and inspiring in your feedback and testimonials.

  • When It Is Time to Stop

    While starting something is one of the hardest things some people encounter, for others, it's the opposite - how to stop doing something. Putting a stop to something you're doing is especially hard for entrepreneurs. One reason to stop is that that something is no longer working. Another may be that the need to change the way some things are being done to increase productivity, revenue, or energy.

    In this episode, I talk about when it's time to stop doing something - not only in business but also in your personal life. I share stories of how I was able to stop doing things that were no longer good for my business, my health, or my life. I also share strategies you can use to identify when it's time to stop or change the way you're doing things and how it can impact your productivity, health, and well-being.

    "You've got to listen to your mind, to your body about when it's time to stop doing something or change it up radically." - Sigrun

    In This Episode of The Sigrun Show:

    • Why you may want to stop doing something
    • The story of my 30-year addiction to Coca-cola
    • The turning point that made me decide to quit drinking Coca-cola
    • The concept of sunk costs in business and how to avoid it
    • Why you shouldn't be attached to the investment you've made
    • Why I stopped doing regular webinars
    • When it's time to rethink your strategy even if it has worked for you in the past
    • What 'bonusodes' are and why I'm changing the frequency of my episodes

    My Challenge for You:

    What do you want to stop doing in your business?

    1. Take a screenshot on your phone and type in what you want to stop doing in your business.

  • Find Your Why and Your Business Will Thrive

    When you're just starting your online business, your 'why' might be pretty straight-forward. Many new entrepreneurs start their online business journey because they want to follow their passion, spend time with their family, and set their own work hours while earning a living. As your business grows - your 'why' may also change and evolve.

    You start to dream bigger.

    You become bolder.

    In this episode, I explain how finding your 'why' impacts the success of your online business. I share how my why has evolved throughout my online business journey and how the bigger my why became - the more my business began to thrive. I also share how your why helps you identify and attract your ideal clients, and make bolder decisions in your business. And I talk about how my why impacted my decision to write a book and host an upcoming conference for female entrepreneurs.

    "Figure out your why - and your business will thrive." - Sigrun

    • Why it's okay for your why to grow and evolve as you build your business

  • Trust The Process

    It's human nature to question things. So, it's not uncommon for online program and course participants and entrepreneurs working with a new coach to question the process of their programs. One of the biggest challenges many people face when working with a new coach is trusting the process that the coach has designed.

    After all - when you signed up for the course or program, you may not be fully convinced their process is right for you.

    In this episode, I share why it's critical to trust the process laid out by your coach or the online course you joined. I explain how skipping steps or modules can have a negative impact on your ability to achieve the goals you set out to achieve. I also share how trusting - and following - the process as it was designed can lead to incredible success and a significant return on your investment.

    "It's only when you trust the process that you get to the result." - Sigrun

    In This Episode of The Sigrun Show:

    • The importance of trusting the process laid out in an online course or by your coach
    • The impact of skipping steps and modules in an online course or program
    • Why "one-size-fits-all" online programs do not work on a broad spectrum
    • Why coaches need to encourage their clients to trust in the processes you designed

  • Book Review: Becoming by Michelle Obama

    We all have beginnings that got us to where we are today. The decisions we make and the people we have become are all results of our childhood experiences, lessons along the way, and the influencers in our lives. These experiences, when compiled and shared with the world, can have tremendous abilities to encourage, give hope, and inspire.

    In this episode, I share my review of Michelle Obama's book Becoming and why it's one of the best audiobooks I have listened to. I discuss how the book moved me as I learned about Michelle's humble beginnings before she became the First Lady of the United States as well as how her vivid descriptions of the different settings in the book can make readers feel like they are part of her story. I also share how her narrative as a working mother is an excellent source of inspiration for women who doubt themselves as well as what she did and how she felt after leaving the White House when her husband's term as US president ended.

    "It's good that Michelle Obama talks about being a working mother and can inspire more women to go after their dreams." - Sigrun

    In This Episode of The Sigrun Show:

    • Why I went to the Inbound Event in Boston in 2018
    • What to do if you're a fan of someone who has written a book and accepts speaking engagements

    • What makes Michelle's book Becoming so special
    • How Michelle found and pursued her passion projects
    • Who gave Michelle a different perspective as she grew up in a different and challenging environment
    • The fascinating language used in her book that had Michelle criticized as a black woman

  • How to Set and Achieve Big, Hairy Audacious Goals

    As entrepreneurs, we are frequently encouraged and advised to set big, hairy, audacious goals (BHAGs). But what does that really mean and how do you achieve those goals when they seem so far-fetched and unattainable? What value can setting long-term, seemingly unattainable goals have for your business?

    I explain what a big, hairy, audacious goal is and why entrepreneurs need to set big goals even when they feel unattainable. I share how setting big goals can inspire you to grow your business and build your team's spirit. I also share how setting big, hairy, audacious goals has impacted my business - and my life - and how achieving those goals can impact your confidence and ability to achieve great success.

    "You need big, hairy, audacious goals to achieve great success. It doesn't happen without goals." - Sigrun

  • Can you Start a Business Without a Business Idea?

    I always wanted to have my own business. While it may seem like my business was an overnight success, in reality, it was years in the making.

    It took many years for me to develop the courage to start a business and several more years to figure out what I wanted my business to be. In this episode I share how I started my business without a clear business idea and the pivots I've made throughout my journey.

    "I knew it would take time - but it was only a matter of time." - Sigrun
