Are you too busy to grow further more easily? Sounds contradictory because you think your business growth requires a lot of effort? That's what I am hearing quite often from entrepreneurs, especially from men: "You need to fight. You need to sacrifice a comfortable life. You need to be focused and strictly follow your plan." Although keeping your focus and taking action helps such mantras - often deriving from mainstream views on success and old patterns of thinking and feeling - are just one side of the coin. Such a singular and narrow (rational) view rarely leads to fulfillment, but more often to a continuous tension and pressure. In my todays piece I briefly talk about what inside quality you have and need to integrate to discover new ways out of a demanding situation, to grow more easily and to experience your entire life more fully. I am curious about your thoughts and I'd be glad to discuss your current challenges directly with you. Feel free to like, comment or drop me a personal line so we can dive deeper into your story. Let's have deeper conversation, man-to-man, about what currently moves you and what really matters to you.

"You are so cold. I cannot feel you. Therefor I cannot trust you, man. Others can't trust you neither." Such sentences are common for many successful men whom I accompany. That's what they have already heard quite often – from women or close friends. Man: How is your relationship with women - and with life in general? Are you at ease with both or do you find it difficult to connect; to share your deepest gift with them? What women really want (and what life really needs) is a true man – at their side and in the world. A man who is connected with his feelings, but under no circumstances controlled by his feelings. One who follows his responsible path – as self-confident as he is, both open and vulnerable. But not only women (and the world) suffer from men who have separated themselves from their feelings (and hence from their full presence). They themselves suffer at least as much, but you rarely see it. Many successful men suffer secretly; anything else would mean weakness. In addition to the fear of one's own depth and power (that lies behind or beneath the emotions), there is often also the fear of social exclusion, if we men allow ourself to feel and to share them with others. Watch the short video and listen to what can happen when we finally dare to open "Pandora's Box" and allow our deep feelings to be just there, alone or better yet with a good friend and companion at our side.

Man! Honestly admitting the (sometimes brutal) truth to yourself is a good first step to discover your current purpose, to make your next step, to become who you can be (and, yes, to get what money can't buy). But there is another important step for you to grow further in your life - beyond the nice and very comfortable surface of material success. I discovered it many years ago when I became a little more conscious in my life. When I became more and more aware of all the great accomplishments and amazingly valuable (material) things but also much more realizing what was missing: deeper connection, friendship, real meaning and a loving relationship. I realized that I had almost no male friends with whom I could have discussed my questions of life and the decisions I had to make. What was much more of importance to me: At those days, 25 years ago, I had no one to share my personal story, my fears and pain with. I was just afraid to open up and trust another man. I knew that I had to and wanted to find other men who had also made their way to themselves. The relief to meet these men and to open myself more and more to them was enormous. All the stress, all the fears and all the doubts I no longer had to hide deep inside myself. I could share them with other men - and transform them more and more. By the way, this experience is an important reason for me why today I accompany other men on their journey to more authenticity; to a life much more fulfilling, intense and deep.

How happy are you with your current life? Imagine me asking you this question: would you be honest with yourself? Admitting that things are not as polished as they seem to be can be really painful - but it can also be a great relief. And it can open the journey for a new growth. Many of us (especially men) don't admit that essential things in our life are going wrong. We pretend everything is good ("I am earning really good money...") but we are working in a way that feel much more exhausting; even draining than rewarding or balanced. Or are you part of an "OK-relationship", but the only reason for still being together are the kids? Or your level of comfort. What about a burning desire for each other? Must have been ages ago... When I first started working as a Lawyer in Hamburg, I was kind of successful. Enough clients, good money, reputable office in front of the Majors Hall. But I soon felt something essential was missing. It was not fun for me. I often felt tied to my desk, just moving files from left to right. Beside of the fact that I wanted to work more closely with people and less with files, I was missing that I could not travel. I knew: traveling contributes significantly to my happiness; to me feeling alive. Once I admitted to myself (and to others at those days) that something essential was missing, I felt such a great relief. Although I did not know (at those days) how to integrate the missing part, but just the fact of no longer pretending and keeping a nice facade up has released a lot of energy. Being honest to myself about my real needs (better: the yearning of my heart for a deeper connection with people from all over the world) was one of the first important steps for my transformation. The things I am doing today - accompanying clients all over the world and supporting their growth from inside out - enfolded over time. But I guess I would not have begun the adventure of walking my own path without first being honest to myself at those days. Let us know how your life is going these days? Do you feel that you move into the right direction; that you are on your own journey (or are you still denying or even suppressing your needs and living the life of someone else)? Let's have deeper conversation, man-to-man, about what currently  moves  you and what really matters to you.

Let me share with you the simple yet challenging step.  Many of us (including me) long for more honesty and depth in human interactions - both in business and private relationships. However, many personal encounters remain shallow and on the surface.  An empty phrase here, a little small talk there and at the end you are asking yourself: What do we really know about each other?  Sure, not every person you meet has to open wide his heart - but there are much more people (especially men) who would like to if we would invite them to.  How? The answer is as simple as it is challenging:  Just shut up and let your partner talk. No planned questions, no "guiding" the conversation in a certain direction, no tricks or manipulations.  The key is: to hold ourselves back a little while, to put our own story and leave our own agenda, our goals aside for a moment.  In this way, we can create a safe and protected space for someone to open up. If we succeed in this, we are rewarded with a new quality almost immediately: we feel real connectedness - and we lay the foundation for a deeper trust in our relationship, both business and private.  What's your experience with this? Let's have deeper conversation, man-to-man, about what currently moves  you and what really matters to you.
