Control Issues Sabotaging Your Success?

Being too controlling was sabotaging my success.
It was just making everything harder.
I remember sitting on the edge of my bed thinking, “This can’t possibly be how it’s supposed to be. There’s no way it should be this hard.”

I was working from sunup to sundown - the entrepreneur hours 😉 - thinking that was normal. That it was just the price you paid.

But the more I struggled to make things happen, the harder everything seemed to get.

Again, I thought to myself, “I can’t keep going on like this. I never enjoy anything. This isn’t living - this is surviving.”

That’s when I made the choice to try relaxing - to let go - of the results I was trying to force.
The truth I realized:
I can’t make people do anything.
Not book a session.
Not refer me.
Not see the value I offer.

And wouldn’t you know - when I finally stopped gripping so tightly and just focused on doing my job well, everything got better.

✨ I started getting more referrals.
✨ My schedule filled up weeks in advance.
✨ My client relationships deepened.

It all felt easier. Like magic.
Like I was finally living again.

Letting go isn’t not caring, or not progressing.
It’s getting out of your own way.

Give me a ‘heck ya’ in the comments if you feel this too.
