<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

andersberater:innen: Hello Akke, you have started your own business. In which area?<\/h3>\n\n

I made a new start with my jewellery and accessories label AKKESOIR almost 2 years ago.<\/p>\n\n

andersberater:innen: How did you get involved?<\/h3>\n\n

After taking a break from AKKESOIR for a few years, I really missed my own label, the creative side. The longing grew and so I started again.<\/p>\n\n

andersberater:innen: How are things going for you?<\/h3>\n\n

It’s going well. My collections are well received and my label is becoming increasingly visible. Of course, there are ups and downs to self-employment, but it is a challenge I am happy to take on.<\/p>\n\n

andersberater:innen: How important is self-realisation to you in your work?<\/h3>\n\n

Very important. There is a lot of me in my creations. My jewellery is my creative expression and it gives me great pleasure to design it.<\/p>\n\n

andersberater:innen: What have been your biggest challenges so far and how have you overcome them?<\/h3>\n\n

The biggest challenge in the initial phase is the financial aspect. As a self-employed person, you often don’t have a secure income like an employee. This is not always easy. I master this challenge with a mindset of trust and reliability. It is a constant learning process, combined with falling and getting up. Acceptance and perseverance help me the most. Sport also helps me to clear my head and start the day feeling energised.<\/p>\n\n

andersberater:innen What goals have you set yourself?<\/h3>\n\n

My aim is to grow healthily and continuously and to make people happy with my creations.<\/p>\n\n

andersberater:innen: Which work did you overestimate and which did you underestimate?<\/h3>\n\n

I sometimes underestimated the number of tasks. There is always a lot to do and the to-do lists often don’t get any shorter, prioritising and getting help, for example with production or promoting IG content or SEO optimisation, is important. And I can’t think of anything I’ve overestimated. Sometimes there are little things that I get stuck on, but which are not so important in hindsight.<\/p>\n\n

andersberater:innen: How do you motivate yourself when things aren’t going so well?<\/h3>\n\n

Accepting that less good times are part of it helps me a lot. I trust that things will get better and that I will always find a solution to a problem. Not giving up and not putting yourself under too much pressure is also important. The thought that it has worked before also motivates me.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

andersberater:innen: Have there been any setbacks or disappointments?<\/h3>\n\n

Yes, and there will always be small downs. That is part of it and is important because you can learn from these experiences. There were problems with a production or some items that did not arrive as I had hoped. In return, there are also ups when items sell out very quickly and I receive positive feedback from customers.<\/p>\n\n

andersberater:innen: What tips would you give other founders?<\/h3>\n\n

You should be sure that you really want to be self-employed and that you are passionate about it. You shouldn’t start a business without this desire, because you really need the drive. A quote that I love is: “When desire is greater than fear, courage is born; One does not set out without longing” (Rainer Maria Rilke). You should also be well prepared. The support of coaches, like at Andersberater:innen, helped me a lot. You should expect that it will not always be easy, especially at the beginning. You will have to put in a lot of time and work, even when others are off. It is also important not to give up quickly and to have a positive mindset. Independence means constant personal responsibility. In return, you are your own boss and have freedoms that you wouldn’t otherwise have.<\/p>\n\n

andersberater:innen: If you had a wish. What would you wish for?<\/h3>\n\n

In general, I hope that the world situation will improve. It is a challenging time, characterised by wars, a shift to the right and environmental problems; Of course, all of this also has an impact on us as individuals, our consumer behaviour and our mood. Specifically, I hope that AKKESOIR continues to develop well and that I can make more and more people happy with my creations.<\/p>\n\n

Dear Akke, thank you very much for the interview.<\/h3>\n\n
