What people say
I partnered with Breen & Associates for my Data Centre business during a phase of acquisition, growth and expansion. This was an intense period of positive change, including hiring, development of staff and maturing the organisation. Having the breadth and depth of experience available from Jo and the team was invaluable during this exciting and critical time in the business.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I have suffered from Anxiety and Depression for years, will this program help me?Absolutely! It will show you how to do things differently: How to think differently, what to do to feel better in the moment, and what to do to leave anxiety, depression and any kind of emotional suffering behind – for good! It is a proven program that has shown many people who have suffered for many years how to free themselves emotionally without ever going back.
-
I have tried similar things in the past, but nothing worked. How is this program different?Although I don’t know what kind of approaches you have tried in the past, you can rely on the fact that this program will work for you if you commit yourself to change! If you aren’t 100% committed to leave emotional suffering behind and to reach a state of emotional freedom, it is likely that this Blueprint won’t work for you. Not because the strategies that I’m sharing don’t work, but because it’s likely that without true commitment you won’t apply them. As with anything in life, things won’t change unless you change them. This program is proven to show you HOW you can change them, but you need to do the work!
-
Will this Blueprint help me if I’m on anti-depressants?YES! You are on anti-depressants for a reason. More often than not the main reason is that we give our own power away to what’s going on outside of us – the external circumstances, events, things, people. It is not until we learn to master our internal world that we become emotionally free. This program is all about teaching you how you to become a master of your internal world, not allowing the external world to affect you. Although anti-depressants can change your biochemistry, which can make you feel temporarily better, they will never be able to give you your own power back. You need to take it back, and this is exactly what this program teaches you.
-
I’m currently seeing a counsellor, psychologist, or psychiatrist. Can I still join the program?Yes, you can! When I was suffering, I used to see a psychologist and then a psychiatrist myself. I was lucky that the psychiatrist wasn’t just interested in prescribing me anti-depressant. He introduced me to new ways of thinking and taking charge of how I felt. This made all the difference for me! I know that with the increasingly busy world, medical practitioners have less and less time to introduce us to alternative approaches. We need to take charge of how we feel and look for ways that work. The program outlined in this Blueprint is a powerful way to teach you to take charge of how you feel – every day! You can show it to your doctor and share what you’re learning and your experiences.
-
I’m not suffering with Anxiety, Panic Attacks or Depression but feel frequently worried, frustrated and fearful. Can the Blueprint help me?Absolutely! The Blueprint is a proven program that shows people how to free themselves from any kind of emotional suffering in the moment, and how to stay emotionally free for life. Just like depression, anxiety and panic attacks, feeling constantly worried, frustrated, fearful, helpless, angry or powerless means that we have developed certain habits around how we use our body, our mental energy and focus. This program is like a map, it shows you the path you need to take to free yourself from any kind of emotional suffering – a path that was already travelled by many others with great success!
-
What if the program does work for me?If you commit yourself to following the program, it will work for you! Remember, the program is based on the exact same strategies that have helped me and the many people I worked with personally. I know that it will work for you. But don’t take my word for it, have a look at the reviews above. If you’re still not convinced, just try it. You’ve nothing to lose. If you feel that the program doesn’t work for you, just send me a message within 30 days of your purchase and I’ll refund your entire investment.
