Case Study: How Mangla Overcame Her Tech Blocks and Built a Thriving Online Business with WordPress
When Mangla Sachdev, founder of Expat Business in a Bag, first approached WordPress, she was overwhelmed. Tech seemed daunting, confusing, and altogether unpleasant. Like many non-techies, Mangla faced a significant mental block that kept her from embracing the potential of an online presence.
But all of that changed when she started working with WordPress Expert – Natalie Crowe from the NCDAcademy.
The Challenge: A Mental Block Around Tech
Mangla was clear: she hated tech. It wasn’t just a lack of knowledge—it was the anxiety and frustration that came with every attempt to learn. Building a WordPress site felt like climbing a mountain with no map.
“I hated tech. I really, really could not stand it. There was this massive mental block I had when it came to anything to do with tech.”
– Mangla Sachdev, Expat Business in a Bag
Mangla needed more than just tutorials—she needed a patient mentor who could guide her step by step, empowering her to believe in her own capabilities.
The Solution: Step-by-Step Guidance and Empowerment
Mangla joined WordPress101® and Natalie’s membership program at the NCDAcademy, which offered her the support she needed. Natalie’s calm, patient approach helped Mangla move past her mental blocks.
Natalie provided:
- Live Membership Calls: A safe space where Mangla could ask questions and get real-time guidance.
- Step-by-Step Training: Practical, pause-and-follow instructions tailored for non-techies.
- Encouragement to Explore WordPress Features: Mangla discovered new ways to use her site effectively.
“Natalie is the most patient person I’ve ever met. She takes you step by step through every process. If you’re like me and you need to pause and work alongside, it’s perfect for you.”

The Results: From Fearful to Fearless
With Natalie’s support, Mangla not only built her WordPress website but also launched her first group program—exceeding her sales goal by selling six spaces instead of the five she had hoped for. For the first time, she experienced the joy of passive income and the satisfaction of seeing her hard work pay off.
“I recently launched a group program and sold 6 spaces (my goal was 5), and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible membership and WordPress101!”

She also shared her excitement about receiving Stripe notifications for sales, calling it “the best feeling ever.”
Mangla’s transformation didn’t stop there. To her own surprise, she now enjoys working on her website and exploring new possibilities.
“Now I actually enjoy it, which I never thought in a million years I’d hear myself saying.”
