My amazing Mastermind Group!

Are you aware of this Secret Mental Success Factor that nobody talks about?

Have you worked through all the usual limiting beliefs, have set your goals and are still not moving as fast as you would like?

Chances are you are missing this one essential Mental Success Factor. I wanted to share this very personal insight with you, as I feel it is extremely important and really a bit of a tabu topic in mainstream personal development.

I am a big believer in being able to have whatever I want in life and never giving up on something that I love. And yet, sometimes it’s important to do just that – let go.

Letting go of things you no longer love (or never loved) is easy. But what about the things you do love but that are in the way of your own personal growth and your progress in life? That’s more tricky. You don’t want to let them go because they are dear to you.

Once upon a time, 9 years ago now, I had to make such a decision for the first time. I had married my true love, Sydney man Bruce, and it was either life with him in Australia and giving up my established life in Germany or staying in Germany and loosing him. Well, no real contest there, I packed my bags, sold everything I owned, said good bye to family and friends and moved to Sydney. It has been an amazing 9 years, in which I had a great corporate career, started a business, healed emotional pain for lots of people and am now looking at the next big adventure, my new business launch. I am convinced my life is so much richer now because of the decision to let go of something very dear to me – my life in Germany. Sometimes we don’t realise how much something has held us back until we let it go. That was certainly true for me, it is most likely that I would live a much ’smaller’ life had I stayed in Germany.

While I generally life by the motto that “I can have and do everything I want” there still are times when I get myself gridlocked in life and I realize it’s time to let go of something. . For example, letting go of wanting to help everyone that needs emotional support, letting go of wanting to be an expert at too many things, letting go of things I love doing to make room for something new: a new passion and energy.

It took me over a year to fully accept that it was time to let go of some parts of my business that I was still very attached to and move on to something else that clearly fitted into my future path and fuelled my passion.

I finally made the step and I look forward to unveiling this week!

Business Mindset Breakthroughs Assignment:

What are you holding on to that is preventing you from really striding forward towards your goals?
Examine all the things that capture your attention, energy, time and money. Don’t hold anything as sacred and untouchable and reevaluate, what is really holding you back from moving forward?
Then imagine yourself in the near future, having let go of that identified part of your life. How is your life different now? What do you have in your life instead that wasn’t possible before?
Was it worth letting go to gain that?

Take some designated quiet time to do this assignment, it can create profound change for you if you really listen to your heart (and your unconscious mind).

Please let me know how you go, leave me some feedback!

Here is to your Empowerment,
