Great job folks! You did awesome this year 2023!
Thank you so much to all of my followers and readers of my newsletter and subscribers and listeners to my podcaset. For more than one year now, I'm publishing frequently my ideas for you as an inspiration to go about your passion, careers, private life and explore your superpower.
At the end of 2023, I'm really grateful about the events of this years, and my growing subscribers of my newsletter is a part of it.
I'm now celebrating with my beautiful daughter in private the end of the year, enjoying our time, travelling, talking, relaxing, and healing, before she will part to lead her own life in summer, move out. So it's kind of closing a chapter, letting go, welcoming a new chapter in life. Exciting!
2024 will be a high-speed year for all of us. Not just my family, but I have the feeling, for many of my readers it will involve in changing a lot. The seed that has been planted, the wounds healed and the intentions set in 2023 will come to fruition in 2024 and includes a lot of stepping on new and unknown territory.
2023 was a great year like always
But before we embrace the new, let’s really take a moment to cherish the last day of?2023 and take a bow and say thank you to all of the experiences, the moments of awe, the shocks, that showed us, we are still alive, the surprises life had to offer in the shape of people, situations and opportunities.? You might say not everything was positive there were as well some situations, we wanted to get out, as fast as possible,? leave behind, close the door to the mess we experienced, the trauma that came up again, the old stuff that haunted us.? We started in the past weeks with the negative talk towards this wonderful year and forgot about the blessings. I'm sure, even if there was hardship, pain and loss, there was as well good moments, moments of surprises, awe, miracles, because each year has good and bad. There is no just a great year. I mean, honestly, recall your past years, you always told yourself towards the end of the year: 'Next year, everything will be so much better.' That's illusional, and we know it deep down, because we keep chasing the perfect year and miss the beauty of the moment. The sunrise, the butterfly the first time we improved on doing something. ? Take some time of silence, these last remaining hours and be grateful for these little things, look for the good this year. Look how the negative as well took you to a new level of experience, understanding of yourself, the world. How the heartache was clearing a roadblock on your way forward, maybe breaking a pattern.
As well in my life, our family, not all was smooth and drama free.? There was heartache, sickness, there was loss, there were wins, there were so many new people that entered my life, life changing moments, encounters that gave new directions.
At the beginning of the year, I had an entirely different plan for how the year evolved. And I can tell now in retrostpect - the outcome was so much better, bigger and more exciting, than I could have ever imagined. All the experiences from Jan 1 to today, were full of exploring further how to have an impact through my superpowers, through my gifts, my words just me.? I'm so blessed with 615 subscribers, who read my newsletter, and of course as well the secret readers, and potentially as well the haters that watch from the sidelines and observe with a critical eye: ‘what is she doing next?’ ?
Well, I’m taking the last hours of this year and really honoring the gifts of 2023 saying thank you for a year, unforgettable and shaping my future, surprising me with love, miracles, so many beautiful new friends, random one-day friends I helped on their way, people that sent me dms, showed up on my stream, contacted me randomly on social media, those I met on the road, at the airport, some turned into clients, some into friends.? I'm so grateful for all of my dates, the wonderful men I met this year, who were all part of my healing journey and part of how I met my partner. It was one of the most colorful, exciting year, although not always pain-free. It was full of growth, depths, bringing old stuff back to the surface, a time for healing, reset and breaking patterns.
I experienced how everything what is meant for you will find you, with a house falling in my lap, or the way how loss points you to a new unexpected direction. What happens when you just go with the flow and do the crazy things and follow your heart shutting off the voices from the outside and your old experiences and embrace the new. My most surprising experience also was, how when you really follow your heart in love and business, everything just miraculously works out, opens up, or closes down, and obstacles and sometimes even people just disappear out of your life, and all of a sudden you see how the past years, which you considered as bad, were part of the good to now take shape. I’m super excited to jumpstart 2024 with the best partner (for me at least) embracing love, abundance, blessings and new opportunities, ventures and new people along the way!
It felt like 2023 was a reset, back to my core, the roots of who I am, discovering and unleashing my own Wonder Woman, more and more, which I had written about in my book ‘Chasing Wonder Woman’ first published 2022.? (Now republished and available on amazon, in a revised version ‘Become the CEO of your Life!’).?2024, now it’s about time to execute and thrive and expand in all dimensions in business and in private. So excited about the new year, but also enjoying this very moment of introspection and silence. Appreciating all the gifts, moments of joy, deep emotions and miracles. Looking at and celebrating my accomplishments of this year.
What is it, that you are thankful for?? What was groundbreaking for you in 2023 and tearing down walls, believes or opening new opportunities for your?
I’m super curious what you are interested to read or hear more about, which topics would be most helpful for you? Personally, not as marketing or showing what you did this year to clients, investors and people on social. But truly in silence honoring yourself and saying: 'Dang! You did it, I'm so proud of you, look at all the things you experienced!' And, then let go, it's over now. Detach.
2024 will be your year of (fill in the blank)
Contemplating about 2023, thanking a wonderful time that is almost a chapter of the past, 2024 will be a good year as always, however, you have the choice. Will it be your year of (fill in the blank) let love find you, attract abundance, finding and unleashing your superpower and setting course for financial freedom and doing what you love, leaving your 9-5 for good, healing your debt, getting divorced (for good), leaving an emotional draining or abusive relationship, getting to know yourself more, starting your business, getting your first 10 million investment, the year where you made money with what you loved, while traveling and having time with your family. Don't take it light hearted, it can be really a new year for you, different, closing for good, attracting more of the good and making it easy to say goodbye to the blocks.
Make smart investments
In the first quarter of 2024 I’ll be launching a new program to unleash your superpowers.? So stay tuned!? I’ll help you to gain financial and emotional independence through pursuing your dream intuitively following your superpowers.? I came across many people that wanted to take coaching with me, but told me ‘first I have to do this and that’ or ‘I don’t have the money to pay you for your coaching, first I have to get my business off the ground, than..’? Here’s the harsh truth;? your business won’t take off, before you go back to your individual USP, your superpower, what makes you unique. Your authentic self. Your gift might be so unconventional, with which nobody before you ever succeeded or made money with, and people will say ‘this is too far fetched’ or ‘nobody can be rich with that’? or ‘this is at best a hobby’.
You’ll find excuses, and it’s not the money - the money will come, miraculously - if you really are ready to commit to yourself and to who you really are.? Money is just, well, sometimes as well a blocking energy. Sit down and write out, how much you spend on things, little things, 5 dollars here and 10 dollars there and Starbucks, and snacks and here a little something.. or books, education - don’t get me wrong, education and books are great, but sometimes a distraction of getting into motion.?

So it’s not the money, it’s you, who’s preventing you from taking a leap and getting started not just to plan and vision board your future, but take the necessary steps and this is even more crucial, when you are after the money, funding etc. Without an investment there won't be an investment! Money is energy and before you don't invest in yourself and trust in the flow of money to you, nothing will ever happen, at least sustainably. End of story.? I often hear 'I have to pay my debt first, before I take on any additional obligation through another contract or spending money on coaching, classes, etc.' Well, sounds plausible, if you don't take money seriously. If you take money seriously and believe in the power of its energy to fuel your business, you life etc.
It's simple: Consider yourself as a business. You are the CEO of your life. A smart CEO make smart investments and rather negotiate payment plans with suppliers, when before they cut short on their performance. And sometimes a new 'tool', 'machine' is needed to thrive, grow and make more money, to pay the suppliers. If you can say 'Yes' investing in 'yourself' as the main engine is smart, than coaching and personal development is a must have, to thrive, smart investment decisions pay dividends, and so will the investment in you.
So before you think about making money through day trading, saving, cutting costs, gambling, invest in yourself and start from the inside.
If you feel money leaks or feel you run short on money for your venture, chase investors without outcome, look how you best invest in yourself, to attract clients, investors and partner.? You might also feel drained, tired, exhausted, when will my hard work pay off?? Here’s the thing: when you do what you love, it’s all so effortless, feels like no work at all.?
Your business also won’t fly, as long as you have blocking energies in your life, family, as unhappy relationships, old patterns and a lack of authenticity.? And yes, your kids are the most brutal reflection of your lack in authenticity, sometimes. You are the CEO, your own brand, if you are a solopreneur or entrepreneur or a business leader who wants to get out.? It's your choice, your responsibility, and now is the time to set course, basically the last hours of the old year to set course for 2024.?
My offer, inspiration and thanks
Make your new year resolutions not just a matter of lip service or off a couple of days before you fall back into old pattern.? Be authentic and kick it off like a true leader of your industry/field/passion.? ?
I encourage you: It’s your responsibility, and see my words as an invitation to leave all that does not serve you behind in 2023.? Shoot me a dm if you are ready to commit to start over, explore your secret superpower and manifest a dream life, I’ll respond to by Jan 5, 2024.?
What inspired me the past weeks:?
Silence, looking inward, forgiveness, reading novels, family time, watching movies, exploring Korean cosmetics, sightseeing, Harry Potter, The Empire State Building, the history of The Statue of Liberty, Street Artists in New York, my little brother's song, dedicated to our Grandparents and simply every moment of my life - I decided to experience without judging.
I appreciate you and look forward to the new year, cater you with new inspiration, wisdom, spreading high vibes through my newsletter, podcast and beyond.?
Final thanks to my kids, my partner, my fam, my friends spread around the globe, the ANEXO startups, who also became friends, my clients who trust me and who I'm blessed to see transform and evolve and unleash their superpowers, my supporters, partners, my editor (who is reviewing my novel now), random people I met and who gave me what I needed to hear in that moment.
I'm thanking God for literally every moment and every person, as it was all worth it. Nothing, this year I would have missed or changed.
I'm closing this chapter, 2023, in awe, in gratitude, in abundance, feeling blessed and in love with life!
Sending you my love, clarity and high vibes.
Celebrate and have a fantastic start into 2024!
I appreciate you!
Danny
Happy New Year ?????? Danny!
