Annika & Birgit: Twins who said no to 40 years of being told what to do
Twins from Lower Saxony, both with master's degrees, but no desire for 40 years of someone else calling the shots. Today Annika and Birgit work full-time together.
Key points
- Before: Bachelor's completed, master's started, but no desire for a classic career path.
- Turning point: Sceptical but fascinated: first they only used the products.
- Today: Work together full-time and decide themselves when, where and with whom.

We're Annika and Birgit, 30 years young, identical twins, and we come from the beautiful Grafschaft Bentheim in Lower Saxony, Germany. We're the typical twins you'd imagine: two hearts beating as one. We've always done everything together, have the same friends and the same hobbies, went to school together and finished school together.
After school we didn't really know where our careers should go. We went to university first, completed our bachelor's and started a master's. But somehow it never felt right. We always knew what we didn't want: working for 40 years, Monday to Friday. Always asking when we can have time off. 30 days of holiday a year. Simply a life decided by others.
At a point when we no longer knew where the journey was going, this business model and this company crossed our path. Of course we were sceptical at first, but also totally fascinated. Finally something in our lives felt 100 percent right. Our gut feeling simply said yes.
At first we just used the products and that alone gave us much more quality of life. […] We wouldn't want to be without the products anymore.
Today we are endlessly grateful that we run this business together full-time and can make our dreams come true together. Nobody tells us anymore what to do and when. We can always decide for ourselves when, where and with whom we work, and that is incredibly valuable to us.
