TribeX

After seeing the need for entrepreneurs to come together and support each other, Rachelle & I decided to create a tight-knit family of business owners. People who want to co-elevate each other personally and professionally. Not once, but by being true partners in each other's journeys...

TribeX is an international collective of impact-driven entrepreneurs who are into personal development.

A community for:
- masterminding
- expertise sharing
- accountability
- collaborations
- business friends around the globe

Online-first but with 2 yearly global gatherings and quarterly chapter meetups in major European cities 🏙️ 

Members are selected with great care based on Character & Integrity.

We believe those are the key factors for a supportive business family🫶🏽

We kicked off in September 2023 with 14 founding members spread across Europe!

Growtribute

Do you want a business empire AND personally thrive while building it? We help ambitious entrepreneurs to get on the fast lane to business success & personal happiness.

I founded Growtribute together with my wife Rachelle Leerling. Our journey of "Rollercoaster Entrepreneurship" (the highs and the very lows) inspired us to create an academy for ambitious entrepreneurs - enabling them to have a massive business impact in a sustainable and enjoyable way.

Results while working with us:
✅ Feel completely in control of the business & your days
✅ Step into your CEO role - execute on a clear vision, strategy and momentum.
✅ Be indistractable, less available & needed in the business
✅ Have more time for yourself, family, friends & sports by working smarter
✅ Truly turn off your head and be present on evenings and weekends

What other entrepreneurs say:

⭐ "I'm being stronger with clients, setting boundaries. And as a result, having more space to think and not feel overwhelmed. Old me might have panicked a lot more last week. But I had the structure behind me this time. Now it's about making the structure stronger & stronger and I feel clearer about how to get there, improving week by week" - J. | UK 

⭐ “My first week was literally amazing, no joke. I feel so much better mentally & physically. My gf says the same, she hasn’t seen me like this in a long time" - J. | Germany 

⭐ ”It was my most productive day in the last few weeks. I’m beginning to notice the first signs of improvement from having the new structure of my day. I fall asleep faster, and I wake up with greater energy”. - M. | Poland

⭐ "I read enough about habits and routines to know what I needed to know. But I needed to make it happen. I needed that push from you guys. And in these 3 months, I can really build something for the future." - M. | Israel

Project Manager

I co-founded TribeX & Growtribute together with Rachelle Leerling to change the way entrepreneurship is done. We stand for 'humanpreneurship' - the opposite of 'hustlepreneurship'. 

TribeX is an entrepreneur collective across Europe - a caring business family & business booster

Growtribute is an academy for entrepreneurs who want to be unchained from their business & own limitations.

We don't believe that your business should decrease your life quality & freedom and that doing it all yourself (aka the lone wolf) is the way to go.

Instead, what if entrepreneurship could provide you with wealth, freedom, fulfillment, and a rich social life? Having an amazing human experience while you run a meaningful business.

Our academy teaches entrepreneurship based on setting boundaries, stepping out of operations, high-impact moves, and leading a team really well. We do that through courses, retreats, and group coaching

Our tribe is a tight-knit collective of successful and kind-hearted business owners who are all into personal development. We help each other to drive more positive change through our businesses and share each other's best strategies.

Prior to this, I've been a tech startup founder/CEO. I co-founded Travis, the original creator of the AI pocket translator back in 2016. We proudly shipped over 200,000 devices all around the globe.

I've been living abroad since 2020, in Cyprus, Portugal, Mexico and Spain. 

Just hit me up if you want to know more or for a (virtual) coffee!

#justdostuff - Motivating People to say YES to themselves - Adding value to people's life and career

I could start with why I am identified as a Golden Retriever, however, I would like to start with my life purpose. The sentence that lies really close to me:

My Life Purpose:

"Support and inspire myself and other people on the journey to embrace, to love and to be our true authentic selves" ✨

I share this, because it is me, my life and experiences has formed to to feel most connected to this sentence. Everything in my life, I try to link to enhance the possibilities to help myself and others to be our authentic selves. This can be hard, it often is, however, the benefits from experiencing the rage of energy, being moved by emotion and the happiness that comes from it are worth it every time. 

This comes with my motto: #justdostuff.

This means saying yes to new experiences and see everything from a positive point of view. 

This always helps me to reach for value for myself, but also for others! 

Reflecting on my #justdostuff, I feel that it is changing. This motto has given me the power to experience and will for always live inside of me. Now, a motto, focused on impact, that is closer to my life purpose will be more fitting with the life fase that I am in right now. What will the new motto be? I don't know, but this will be formed, I believe that it will be formed. 

Now, the Golden Retriever is still on the table. People see me as positive, never-ending energy, intensely social, people loving and ready to always support the people around me. This has led to the meme that I am a Golden Retriever, with my golden curls, always wagging with my tail when people are around. 

Yes, I am this extrovert people person, love to be around people, with a healthy (small) amount of time with myself that I appreciate. 

Currently, I apply these connecting skills, together with my experience as a living being, entrepreneur, trainer and as a speaker in my current personal and professional life. This has lead me to work together with multiple clients as the University of Groningen, Team Ollie and Jumbo. And then you have Spark ✨

Spark lies very close to my life purpose. For me, Spark is a feeling. A feeling of flow, that you are in the right place, with the right people and that your skills and talents are coming out in an authentic way. Why did we start Spark? We started Spark to help organisations and team to create an environment that enhances authenticity and talent. Now, we focus on helping HR and Leaders to bind and fascinate young talent, Gen Z.

Wanna connect? Please do! I hope you can be your true authentic self!

Much Love,
Jeroen
