We always like to start off January with an event that gets us inspired to make powerful business moves in the new year, and this year’s mastermind did exactly that. In this episode, we unpack a few key takeaways from our weekend with industry leaders like Jay Shetty, Ed Mylett, Mel Robbins and so many other people that we look up to. We also share our advice about how to approach events like this and highlight why it’s so important to collaborate with your peers.

One of the most impactful books I’ve ever read is Gay Hendricks’ The Big Leap. I find it  helpful to revisit it in mid-January because it reminds me of this concept he discovered called “The Upper Limiting Problem.”  In short, we each have a limit on how much abundance, success, and love we think we deserve. Once we start to get close to those thresholds, we self-sabotage and create chaos to stay within the boundaries we’re familiar with. 

The key to tapping into your highest potential is to start observing where you hold yourself back. In this episode, I share four of my upper limits and how I’m actively working to break through them.
