She was no longer receiving her commissions. Her clients were in financial trouble, and so she slipped into misery. Sure, you could say it was bad luck. But it wasn&#8217;t. It was a stupid situation to be in, but no one forced her to keep riding the horse. Katja Porsch had dozens of other options, but she didn&#8217;t see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, many years later, she is one of the most successful motivational speakers in the German-speaking world. Katja Porsch is co-founder of Carinthia&#8217;s first Startup Academy, author of six books, a sought-after expert in the media, and much more. This is not due to favorable circumstances\u2014there are better starting conditions than two bankruptcies. It&#8217;s because of what she made of these circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And the most important thing is what she has learned in her life: \u201cI want to take the wheel.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t let other people and circumstances take the wheel of your life. Take the wheel and have the courage to get started.
