In the world of entrepreneurship, there are rare individuals who not only excel in their endeavors but also pave the path for others to thrive. Meet Elonique Dalhuisen, proud owner of ABCS and founder of Clubp and Eva Support.
Thirty years ago, Elonique embarked on her entrepreneurial journey by founding ABCS, a company specializing in office, event, and project management for professional associations. However, Elonique's entrepreneurial spirit didn't stop there. In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, she seized the opportunity to launch Clubp.
What is Clubp?
Clubp is a dynamic online platform that serves as a vital resource and community hub for female support professionals. What began as a response to an immediate need blossomed into a thriving community of over 1000 members, united by a shared commitment to learning, networking, and professional development.
What is a support professional? An individual who provides essential assistance and services to organizations, businesses, or individuals.
"What makes our community exceptionally strong is the fact that it doesn't stop online. We offer a unique blend of virtual interactions and physical events."
What's your biggest dream when it comes to entrepreneurship?
One of the defining moments in Elonique's career was the realization of her dream to create a professional magazine. With Clubp, she transformed this vision into reality, delivering a publication that serves as a testament to the talent and expertise within the community.
"Opening the box with the first magazines was one of the highlights of my career. I was so proud of the team and excited for the future."
A tip you would share with others?
"Share with others and dare to ask for help. With motivation and inspiration from others you can grow much faster."
A quote Elonique lives by is "Nothing is impossible, the word says I'm possible". This mantra reflects her unwavering belief in the power of self-confidence and collaboration. For Elonique, success is not just about individual achievement but also about harnessing the strength of others and embracing the support of a community.
What does organization mean to you?
"Organization is the key to being a good support professional".
As an entrepreneur overseeing multiple ventures like ABCS and Clubp, every facet of her day hinges on meticulous planning and coordination. From client projects to team activities, Elonique's success relies on her ability to stay organized.
