Jorre Verstraeten is a professional judoka preparing for his second Olympics. He relies on Dexxter to handle the accounting for his secondary occupation.
Hi Jorre, what are you mainly focused on these days?
I’m an Olympic judoka, so every day I’m working on improving myself both on and off the mat to achieve the best possible results at European Championships, World Championships, and the Olympic Games.
I owe it to myself, but also to everyone around me who supports me, to give my best every day.
Why was it necessary for you, as a top athlete, to also start a secondary occupation?
I also give training sessions and workshops and collaborate with companies. To be able to report this income, I needed to set up a secondary occupation.
As a sports management student, I’m extremely interested in the business aspects of sports.
How do you relax?
My studies take up a lot of my free time, but I don’t mind.
Besides judo, I also follow several other sports.
I also enjoy photography and spending time in nature, preferably with my family, girlfriend, and friends.
What are your next milestones?
The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris are my next major goal. In the years after that, every European Championship and World Championship will be important, and we’ll be working toward the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
What would you say to young people who dream of becoming entrepreneurs?
I’d say: be bold—dare to follow your passion. Be very mindful of the journey you’re on and enjoy every moment. Make a plan to reach your goals and stick to it; do whatever you can right now to achieve those goals. Live in the present.
Why did you start using Dexxter a while ago?
I used to work with an accountant. That was very expensive for a secondary occupation, and I didn’t understand anything about my own accounting.
I think Dexxter’s learning environment is amazing; it’s the perfect way to learn how things work in an easy and enjoyable way. I also find the dashboard very useful for keeping a clear overview.
