Work-Life Balance at Lake Wörthersee is not an empty phrase, but a reality that can be experienced. As for example through the BUSINESSBEACH in Velden.
The following is the story of a great Carinthian start-up, which describes the brilliant conditions for this equilibrium of work and quality of life at Lake Wörthersee in the best possible way.
Bali lifestyle with work-life balance at Lake Wörthersee
Susanne Kos and Sabine Springenschmidt are working through the summer because their international webshop for Gedankenkraft Jewellery never takes a break. Fortunately, however, that's exactly what the BUSINESSBEACH Velden at Lake Wörthersee is for, which makes it easy for them to combine work and pleasure. Just like they are used to from Bali...
If two Carinthian women meet in Bali...
The two Carinthian women Susi and Bine have spent ten years of their lives on the Southeast Asian island and even met there. Susi had a diving boat and Bine a surf yoga-bike resort called Chillhouse. The usual stuff.
Power of thought with a good cause
But behind the scenes of this tropical paradise there is still a lot of poverty. Women in particular usually have hardly any chance on the job market. So Susi and Bine founded the "Women of Bali Project" to give these women the chance to earn their own income. Since then, a network of skilful and fairly paid "Working Home Mums" on Bali has been creating beautiful jewellery with GEDANKENKRAFT. Because: "Each of our pieces of jewellery has a meaning for the wearer. A goal that he or she has set for himself or herself and that he or she wants to be reminded of. That's where we help", the two Working Mums from Lake Wörthersee outline their basic idea.
Successful online business
Today, the webshop www.gedankenkraft.shop practically runs by itself and large companies order 7,000 pieces of the Gedankenkraft ribbons for their employees and customers. It was a long way to get here, and not only from Bali back to Carinthia, but also through many, many trade fair appearances to finally reach the destination.
You may get the girl out of Bali, but you'll never get Bali out of the girl
But the two successful founders do not allow themselves to be stressed. They also live out their Balilifestyle in Carinthia. And where better to do that than at Lake Wörthersee?
"In the morning we'll go to yoga in Pörtschach and then BUSINESSBEACH in Velden...where we can go over orders or discuss the organization of one of our new GLITTER PARTY's." Tell Susi about her day at work. "But sometimes a business brunch on a lake terrace comes in between" Bine interjects and beams. In the afternoon there is a small SUP session with the kids and when a hard working day comes to an end, sometimes a tropical cocktail in one of the beach clubs is also included.
