Guest Bio: Eline Poot
When Eline started her corporate career at 23, she thought she just needed to work as hard as she could to be successful. But this mindset soon launched her into a debilitating burn out. After not being able to do anything for 5 months, she vowed to never work as hard for someone other than herself.

During her burnout, she started a webshop in jewelry. Within 2 years, she made a 100k revenue. But even here she noticed that the ‘grind’ that entrepreneurs seem to love so much didn’t work for her at all. Because even though she loved what she did, she still struggled with her mental health and motivation.

After 4 years, she decided to close her webshop and start a new business: The Anxious Entrepreneur. With this business, she wants to show other small businesses owners how to run a successful business without sacrificing your mental OR physical health. Her motto is: your mental health is your business too.
