What Got You Here, Won't Get You There (And Why That's a Good Thing)

Apr 24, 2025

Yesterday, I had a powerful conversation with a client that brought one of my core teachings into sharp focus: self-trust isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about letting go.

She’s on the brink of major expansion in her business. The next level is within reach. But like many ambitious entrepreneurs, her instinct was to do more—add more hours, take on more clients, stack more offers.

So we paused and asked a better question: What if growth isn’t about doing more? What if it’s about doing less—but better?

We reviewed what it would actually take to create the expansion she wanted. And the truth wasn’t about doubling down. It was about putting more things down. Releasing. Delegating. Hiring. Creating space.

She looked at the list and said, point-blank:

"I don’t want to give up anything."

Of course she didn’t. And maybe you don’t either.

But here’s what we uncovered:

  • Letting go isn’t loss—it’s optimization.

  • Delegating isn’t giving up—it’s stepping up.

  • And releasing doesn’t close doors—it creates room to open the right ones.

The discomfort of change can easily eclipse the possibility of gain. But when you look beyond the resistance, there’s opportunity not just in the results you create, but in your capacity to evolve.

And remember: anything you put down can be picked back up. If you ever need it again, it’ll still be there—only this time, you’ll return to it from a more evolved, empowered perspective.

Letting go isn’t a setback. It’s strategy. It’s self-trust. It’s how you grow into your next-level leadership.
