You Can’t Step Into New Blessings If You’re Still Holding Onto Old Stuff

I wasn’t planning on stopping.

I was on my way to get breakfast before heading back to Orlando. But as I passed by the old office — my old office — something in me said, “Turn in.”

So I did.

Pulled in, parked, got out the car. Just stood there in the parking lot looking at a building I once believed I couldn’t live without.

It still had the sign up.

No one had taken it yet.

But man... I realized something the second I stood there:

We hold on to stuff not because it’s still working… but because it’s comfortable. It’s familiar. And letting go? That’s where the real work starts.

That office? I held onto it WAY too long.

My team told me we didn’t need it. The way we were running things — tech, online systems, the way we were showing up for clients — the office just wasn’t necessary anymore.

But I made excuses.

“We need it for client meetings.”

“We already spent $30K–$40K on the tech in here!”

“We’ll need it soon, just in case…”

Nah. Truth was, I just didn’t want to deal with the letting go part. Because letting go meant:

• Moving equipment

• Shutting down the lease

• Accepting that we were evolving past the thing that once meant everything to me

I didn’t want the inconvenience. I didn’t want to face the reality that something good had run its course.

But here’s the truth…

You can’t receive new blessings with a closed hand.

That old office? It represented an older version of the business. And I was clinging to it because it felt safe.

But since we left?

Yo.

• We’ve upgraded our filming space. (Phase 3 of the new room is happening today — we’re mounting the pro cameras, teleprompters, all of it.)

• We’ve hosted 5 events without the office.

• Clients are getting even better results.

• Our team has more flexibility.

• And the whole vibe? BETTER.

None of that would’ve happened if I kept holding onto the past version of what used to work.

Real talk: Letting go feels scary.

You start thinking…

• “What if I regret this?”

• “What if this is a huge mistake?”

• “What if I can’t recreate what I had?”

But you know what I’ve learned?

You’ll never get to the great if you keep clinging to the good.

And time? It’s moving anyway.

My son just turned 20 today.

I still remember the night he was born. A month early. Quiet at first. Then feisty. That was 20 years ago.

And it feels like yesterday.

Whether you let go or not… time doesn’t care. It’s gonna move.

So you’ve got a choice:

• Keep holding on and end up with regret

• Or let go and move into your blessings

That office was familiar. But what we have now? Man, it’s better in every way.

Let me leave you with this:

There’s a process to moving forward, and it goes like this:

1. Let go

2. Trust God

3. Let God do His work

4. Walk into new blessings

Not the other way around.

You don’t get to see the blessing before you let go.

You let go in faith… then the blessing comes.

So wherever this hits you today — in business, in relationships, in life — just know: you’re not alone in the letting go part.

I felt it too.

But I’m telling you from the other side… what’s ahead is so much better than what you’re afraid to release.

Let it go. Let God move. And watch what happens next.

Much Love,
Greg
