I help women achieve a state of mind, a life, and a body in which they feel good about themselves

“I started She Blooms in September 2022 as a part-time job. From 2015 to 2018, I was already working full-time as a dietitian, but in September 2022, I felt ready to move forward with a similar business. This time, I did so with more self-confidence. I help women achieve a state of mind, a life, and a body in which they feel good about themselves. I do this through stress coaching, yoga classes, workshops, and soon, online courses as well.

My business and I are actually very much one and the same—and by that I don’t mean that I’m constantly working. What I do mean is that even in my free time, I read a lot about well-being, take yoga classes myself, or spend a lot of time with other women.”

A journey with ups and downs

“Running a business always has its ups and downs; one moment you’re incredibly grateful for all the fun projects and for being able to manage your own time, but the next moment you’re panicking about your financial situation. The challenges at times like these are realizing that a business grows slowly and continuing to believe in yourself. I also take on a few projects that bring in some extra money, which helps reduce the stress about my financial situation.

My next milestone? I’d love to launch my first online product by summer. I’m currently taking a specific entrepreneurship course to prepare for this.”

Tips from Anke

“To wrap up, I have a few tips for fellow starting entrepreneurs. First, entrepreneurship involves next-level personal growth and stress management. So get to know yourself well, so you can figure out what works for you and keep your entrepreneurial fire burning. Women entrepreneurs are very welcome to join me to learn more about this through a coaching program.

Second, I recommend Dexxter as an accounting tool. I’ve been using Dexxter since I started my business. In my previous company, I had an accountant, but Dexxter is a much better solution for me since I like to know what’s going on in my books. Personally, I find it surprising how few new entrepreneurs keep track of their own figures.

With Dexxter, I have a much better grasp of what’s going on, and I’m also learning more about the financial side of running a business. Plus, during the startup phase, I’d rather invest my money in other things than an expensive accountant, so my business can grow in the right direction.

In the meantime, I’ve already helped a friend get started with Dexxter. And when I’m coaching new entrepreneurs through stress management, I’m happy to help them start using the tool as well.”
