Beyond Success

Is The "Upper Limit Problem" An Invisible Force Secretly Controlling Your Life?


Listen Later

Question:

Have you ever reached a high point in life (a major win, a big breakthrough, or a massive milestone)... only to feel like the rug's been pulled from underneath you?

Well, I have good news and bad news:

If you find yourself second guessing yourself, procrastinating, picking fights with loved ones, or just a sinking, uneasy feeling that shows up whenever an opportunity knocks on your door, you might be going through the "Upper Limit Problem."

The "Upper Limit Problem" happens when emotional energies from your childhood (and sometimes, from your parents', grandparents', and even ancestors' childhoods) creates a heavy cloud over your emotional mind. It's vague, yet oppressive. And it can sabotage relationships, suffocate success, and stifle fulfillment and freedom.

But here's the good news:

You don't have to carry these burdens—whether they stem from your own experience or from generational fear and beliefs. And I show you exactly how to start this process of unburdening yourself in this episode.

Ready to remove these invisible limits, open up more opportunities, and unlock a deeper, more lasting sense of joy, love and fulfillment?

Listen now.
