Welcome to this episode, where I have the pleasure of speaking with Iselin Ogre, a Norwegian entrepreneur and founder of Skillsbox AS, a sales and project company that provides Freelance Sales managers and Project managers for the b2b market. Iselin's passion for helping people and creating opportunities for them through her creative ideas and innovative thinking is truly inspiring.

As a Chief Connector, Iselin believes that putting the right people together can create remarkable results. She is an opportunity creator who contributes to growth, and in this episode, we explore how to build an entrepreneurial mindset and deal with rejection, uncertainties, and unexpected challenges.

Iselin shares with us her personal journey of struggles, including the people who shaped her and helped her become the successful entrepreneur she is today. She talks about her experience with type one diabetes and how temporary blindness due to her condition affected her, and how she found the resilience and positivity to overcome these challenges.

In this episode, we also delve into Iselin's philosophy of letting go of limiting beliefs and adopting the fighter spirit to achieve personal growth and success.

So join us as we explore Iselin's unique perspective on entrepreneurship, personal growth, and finding opportunities in life.

In this episode, Iselin and I explore the questions and issues around the following:

  • What is your experience as a female entrepreneur in a male dominated industry?
  • What advice would you give a young person to build confidence if they want to become an entrepreneur?
  • How do you deal with rejection?
  • What kind of mental ward did you have? How has your history and personal struggles shit who you are today?
  • What is the type one diabetes and how does it affect you? What has managing diabetes taught you about mental and emotional resilience?
  • How do you stay calm in crisis?
