If you are considering changing your business model to accommodate a different passion, you are not alone. Many entrepreneurs face this decision and journey at least once in their careers. To do so successfully, you need to test a business idea – and your new ideal clients. That is the focus of this On Air Coaching episode of The Sigrun Show.
Regina Diez currently works as a Key-Account Manager for a US-based company in Germany. Her passion for the fashion and style industry initially began as a young girl while helping her family on the farm. Over the years, that passion has grown and has led her to take a course to become a personal style coach.
Regina joins me for this On Air Coaching episode to learn how to turn her passion into a profitable personal style coaching business. We discuss how to find test clients to validate her business idea and the ideal length for her beta program. We also discuss the importance of treating your test clients as though they were paying clients, the importance of identifying your ideal clients, the benefits of working with more than three beta clients as well as the ultimate goal of testing your business idea with beta programs.
