"Before I joined Kickstart, I ran offline culinary retreats in Italy. I wanted to move my business online as I found myself constantly stretched too thin, found it difficult to understand what I should focus on, and was not making a consistent profit. Kickstart offered me everything I needed to learn how to move my business online and take it to the next level! The coaches and community were hugely supportive throughout the program, helping me stay the course and trust the process when I started to feel overwhelmed. The step-by-step approach of Kickstart taught me a valuable lesson in trying to move too quickly and achieve too much too soon, as attempting to get ahead of myself disrupted the process. Kickstart bolstered my confidence, helping me understand that it's perfectly OK to say "no" sometimes - and to feel good about doing so. Through Kickstart, I discovered that comparing myself to others is unhelpful and unnecessary. After completing Kickstart, I now understand that we all have unique talents, and utilising my strengths is the key to success. Kickstart helped me to focus, as the program made me realise that I had been prone to procrastination in the past - I achieved more in a few weeks than I had in years before! Kickstart introduced me to new technology that I was not familiar with, which will be hugely beneficial to my business in the future. I wish to extend sincere thanks to Sigrun and her team, and the friends around the world that I made during Kickstart. The step-by-step approach of Kickstart helped me learn how to trust myself and my talent and to know my worth, and I now have an amazing online course that I never thought I was capable of producing."
