Many entrepreneurs dream of creating a signature product that is uniquely theirs, but this dream does not come without pressure – which is often self-inflicted. Once you have the idea for the signature product, there is still a lot of research, testing, and development to be done. The key is to listen to what your audience needs and offer them a solution to their problem. That is what I did, and in this episode of The Sigrun Show, I discuss the story behind SOMBA.
SOMBA stands for Sigrun’s Online MBA. In this podcast, I explain what SOMBA is, how it became my signature program, and how it has evolved over time. I share a glimpse into how I continued to build my business while searching for what would become my signature product and why you need to be patient during this process. I also share how I was able to repurpose content I had already created into a program that is unique.
“It is so interesting how suddenly a solution is right there in front of you, and you wonder why you didn’t see it before.” - Sigrun
