It wasn’t in Sigurd’s mindset to be an entrepreneur. But always been encouraged by his dad to seek things he loves to do. He started his first studio without thinking of it as a business. Sigurd is all about having fun and pursuing his passion for music while working for a commercial company during the daytime, producing commercials. But because Sigurd wasn’t knowledgeable about business during that time, out of luck his studio thing turns out nothing. He didn’t know what the next step and it lowers his self-esteem. He knows like he needs to regain it to restart.
Luckily, he was hired in one radio station until such time working on different biggest stations in Norway where he learned skills and in-depth knowledge about relationships by doing over a decade of researching people. Sigurd made the stations succeed with a very promising salary and position; he got privileged of working with top mentors in the world both in market research and branding consultant and with top talent coaches in the US. But he resigned from work with no backup plan.
Sigurd realized that it’s not all about the money but how will you remember your younger days when you get older, all about the happiness inside, and do with what is important to you. Sigurd knows that he has a passion for solving problems and building. Afterward, he builds his own dating business site and got a million members in just a year that sends him to the peak of success and bring lots of money in the pocket.
Sigurd believes that life is all about knowing yourself, visualizing, connecting with your vision not just in the paper but having the feeling and emotion with it. Be thankful for what you have and not be so focused on chasing the future. Start thinking on things that you enjoy doing, and have the vision and a strong passion because it’s fueling the discipline. The best product is usually never the biggest, it’s the first mover. Do what is different from others; analyze people’s psychological and emotional needs..
At the moment, Sigurd is very passionate about relationships and bringing the message to the world that it’s all about fulfillment, and giving back by sharing his marriage booster knowledge and coaching people. Wealth is not by how much you generate money but also by building relationships with the people around you, especially with your partner.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
