Hi, I am Anna,
I’m on a mission to challenge the toxic idea that business success has to come at the cost of your mental health, your family, or your life outside of work.
Because it doesn’t. And it shouldn’t.
For over seven years, I’ve been growing my Bookkeeping Business while raising three young boys, and like many business owners I spent a lot of that time in isolation. Staring at a screen. Worrying when there was no work. Drowning when there was too much. Apart from the odd client meeting or in-person networking event, it was just me, myself and I. And eventually, it caught up with me.
In 2022, I hit rock bottom. My business was growing, but I was burning out. My mental health was suffering, and I knew I couldn’t keep going like that. I had to completely rewire the way I worked, and more importantly, how I defined success. I realised that true work-life balance isn’t just about working less or taking more “me time.” It’s about doing what you want when you want to. It’s about boundaries. It’s about saying no to the wrong work. And it’s about building a business that fits your life, not the other way around.
The more I opened up about my experience, the more I heard echoes of the same struggle. The isolation. The overwhelm. The pressure to keep going, even when it’s costing you. And that’s when GoTribe was born.
GoTribe exists to help you build a successful, sustainable business around other commitments, without falling into the burnout trap.
We bring flexible networking right to your doorstep, with online events you can join when it suits you, not when someone else tells you to show up. And we’re building towards a bold vision: Virtual Networking Events on the hour, every hour, 8am to 8pm, Monday to Saturday. No pitches. No pressure. Just real people, making real connections.
Because let’s face it, we’re all busy. A two-hour event packed with sales spiels isn’t realistic for many of us so GoTribe is different. It’s built for your reality. Whether you’ve got five minutes or fifty, there’s space for you here.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me in a coffee shop with a cup of tea (can’t stand coffee) and a good book (usually business or personal development, send me your favourites!). I love travel, family time, and creating a life that actually feels good, not just looks successful on paper.
So that’s me. That’s GoTribe. And that’s the mission: to help you build a business that supports your wellbeing, your goals, and your life.
