Online business despite exhaustion - how to get started

Why an online business makes sense right now

If you're feeling exhausted, the thought of starting your own business can seem overwhelming at first. But that's exactly when an online business can be the solution - because it

- adapts to your rhythm, not the other way around

- gives you financial independence without overwhelming you

- brings meaning and motivation back into your everyday life - with topics that are really important to you

Especially after a burnout, a gentle introduction to online business can be the key to a self-determined life.

Is it possible to start a business despite being exhausted?

You don't have to work eight hours a day and you don't have to do everything perfectly straight away. It's about starting small - step by step.

👉 Just 15 minutes a day is enough to take the first steps.

Whether you're researching, jotting down an idea or preparing an email: Every small step helps you move forward - without overwhelming you.
