In this inspiring and no-fluff episode, we welcome Sigrun Gudjonsdottir—award-winning business coach, bestselling author, international speaker, and host of the top-rated Sigrun Show podcast. Sigrun’s mission is bold and deeply necessary: to accelerate gender equality through female entrepreneurship.
After losing her job twice in two years and facing a seven-month health crisis, Sigrun pivoted from corporate leadership into online entrepreneurship. What followed? A multiple 7-figure business, 6 Stevie Awards, and a global movement empowering thousands of women to build wealth and freedom through online businesses.
We discuss the roadmap to building an online course that sells, how to plan for your second and third sale before you’ve made your first, and why launches and evergreen strategies are not mutually exclusive—but complementary forces in a sustainable business.
Whether you’re scaling your coaching brand or launching your very first offer, this episode will change how you approach growth, pricing, and possibility.

- How Sigrun built an $18M+ online business from scratch in 2014
- Her “Kickstart Method” for creating a 4-week online course
- The mindset shifts needed to scale from 6 to 7 figures
- How to use launches and evergreen strategies to maximize sales
- Why gender equality and entrepreneurship go hand-in-hand
