For me, the pandemic was a blessing. At least business-wise.

The Coronavirus forced my partner and me to rethink our entrepreneurial path. And as we had plenty of time to do so during the lockdown, we ended up with an entirely new business.

Last year, we were hosting personal development workshops and courses for young professionals in our city.

Today, we’re running a fully digital business that already made 6-figures in revenue this year.

Even though we’ve already been into online business and digital marketing, we started from scratch at the end of March.

We built two new websites: One dedicated to personal growth and one for writers. We also started two email lists from zero because the entire community we built prior was a German one.

Due to the local restrictions, we had plenty of time and we spent almost every free minute working on our dreams.

But it eventually paid off and we managed to build a solid foundation in less than a year.

And looking back, this massive growth was mainly possible because of three critical skills.
