Why I Do This Work

Most bios list credentials first. I’ll start with a story

It is said that if you take a flea and put it in a jar and put the lid on, it'll jump and hit the lid and fall back down, and jump and hit the lid and fall back down again and again and again. The thing you should understand about fleas is that they're unbelievably powerful jumpers. If they were the size of a person, they could jump to the top of the Empire State Building. Jumping out of a jar should be effortless for them.

But when you put the lid on, they'll jump and hit their head.

After 24 hours, if you take that lid off, the fleas will continue to jump. But they'll jump just a little bit shy of where the lid used to be. And they will continue to jump like that in that jar for the rest of their lives.

What's even more tragic is that if they have children, their children will also jump just before hitting what used to be the lid. And will also stay in that jar their whole lives long.

Your upbringing, your formative experiences. There were so many moments when you hit that ceiling and it hurt. So you learned not to jump so high, not to dream so big, not to endeavor for more, not to stay connected, not to stay open to love, not to say yes to a bigger opportunity. I was just like one of those fleas.

I used to be really good at breaking through—and even better at breaking down afterward.

I’d hit a big revenue month, lead a packed retreat, or make a major creative leap… and then sabotage it. Blow up my schedule. Pick a fight. Overcommit. Withdraw.

I hadn't yet seen the lid that I kept hitting my head on. It was like I was doomed to live the same small life falling back to the same levels of success, income, connection, and love.

One day, in a conversation with a powerful, insightful friend, I suddenly saw the lid. Or more importantly, saw that the lid was no longer there and it was me keeping myself down. I had an internal ceiling for how good I was allowed to feel and how much success I was allowed to have and enjoy.

That insight changed everything.

Seeing that it didn't have to be that way anymore scared the shit out of me because I realized that I could have everything I wanted and more.

Even though I was scared, I knew it would be worth it. So, I. committed to growing into a bigger life than I could ever have imagined for myself.

Now I spend every day solving the only problem you need to worry about: The Upper Limit Problem—the quiet reason you ghost big opportunities, pick fights after wins, or overschedule the moment life gets good.

Every day I push the ceiling a little bit farther in my capacity to enjoy my life, be successful, be loved and more.
When we work together, so will you.

What came out of it is the coaching method I now call The More Blueprint.
