Become a Landlord/lady. Werde Vermieter/in.
We make landladies and landlords. They buy a flat and pay just 1/4. 3/4 come from tax cuts and tenants. It's not a trick. It's government policy. All German Federal Governments, past and present, of whichever party, want taxpayers to become landlords and -ladies, buy property, rent it out to tenants and enjoy passive income later.
Come here and find out. No strings attached. No sales. Just a meet and greet for orientation.

**đł Ăber das Meetup**
Dieses Meetup ist eine gemeinsame Besprechung des Buches "Befreiung von Scham & Schuld".
Wir unterhalten uns darĂźber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und welche Bedeutung es fĂźr unser Leben hat.
**Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben.**
Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du fĂźr das erste Treffen Ăźberspringen, lies jedoch mindestens 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein GefĂźhl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen).
.
**Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.**
.
+++++++++++++++++
**đť Mehr zum Inhalt**
Manchmal funktionieren Freundschaften nicht, weil man
* sich nicht Ăśffnen kann,
* zu schĂźchtern ist,
* andere Menschen nicht an sich heran lässt
* klammert
* zu viel will
* wegrennt
* nicht die richtigen Menschen trifft
* schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat
* oder oder oder ...
.
... alte Themen aus der Kindheit holen einen ein.
.
Ebenso stehen Glaubenssätze wie "ich bin nicht gut genug", "ich bin nicht liebenswert", "Ich bin unfähig", "Ich muss mich beweisen", ... guten Freundschaften im Weg.
.
Das ganze Leben, Partnerschaften und Erfolg im Beruf scheinen von blÜden Glaubenssätzen durchsetzt. Bei machen mehr, bei anderen weniger.
.
In dem Buch: **"Befreiung von Scham und Schuld"** von Laurance Heller und Angelika Doerne geht es genau darum:
.
Wie prägen schlechte Kindheitserlebnisse und die Beziehung zu unseren Eltern unsere heutigen Beziehungen.
.
Zur allgemeinen Erleichterung: Nicht nur schlechte GefĂźhle prägen uns, sondern auch die vielen guten GefĂźhle đŚđđťđ¤.
.
**Der Stoff ist intensiv. Deshalb gibt es diesen Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten.** Ist das Buch fĂźr Dich interessant, d**ann komm gern dazu!**
.
**+++++ đ Teilnehmer-Stimmen**
.
"Der Austausch hilft mir, das Buch und mich richtig zu verstehen. Das hat Tiefe. Ich mag die Offenheit."
.
"Jede meiner Empfindungen, KÜrperreaktionen, Gefßhle und Gedanken ist nur davon geprägt, wie ich aufgewachsen bin. Das habe ich mit dem Buch verstanden."
.
.
**+++++đˇ Hintergrund**
**đąđ˝ââď¸ Zu mir: Ich bin Georg Preller.**
Seit 4 Jahren betreibe ich die Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de). Ich bin ausgebildeter NLP Lehrtrainer ([DVNLP](https://www.dvnlp.de/)) & Coach.
Ich gebe Workshops Ăźber Freundschaft & schreibe ein Buch Ăźber Freundschaft.
Mir ist es wichtig, dass Menschen gute & glĂźckliche Freundschaften fĂźhren und damit ein friedliches & glĂźckliches Leben fĂźhren.
.
Auf meiner Websiete findest Du viele Tipps, wie man gute Freundschaften anbahnt.
.
Zurzeit erforsche ich tiefe Themen der Psychologie. Ich will wissen, wie alte Prägungen uns im Wege stehen, die richtigen Freundschaften zu knßpfen. **Dieses Buch ist Teil dieser Forschung.**
.
**đŻ Andere Workshops**
In der Meetup-Gruppe findest Du noch andere Workshop, zu ähnlichen Themen. Zum Beispiel:
* **Bindungsstile & Bindungstypen** \- wie sie unsere Freundschaften und Beziehungen beeinflussen
* **Authentische Ehrlichkeit:** Endlich Ăźber das Reden, Ăźber das man sonst schweigt oder lĂźgt.

Portrait Drawing on Sunday Afternoon
This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits!
For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it.
Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages â all levels are welcome :)
How it works:
1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\.
2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\.
3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\.
-> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location.
Get out your pencils and let's start!
Please bring your own art supplies!

Join us for the Germany Spring 2026 Graduation, where you can see an inspiring talk by Natacha Neumann and a few debut presentations from the new Alumni. Learn about some of the companies that will go onto seed-accelerators, raise funding, and build the next great Germany startups. There will also be an opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs and celebrate the new Graduates.
**Want to be inspired by courageous entrepreneurs?** Here comes your invite to experience them live:
* Natacha Neumann (Founder, Bright Ventures)
* Rikke Klitskov (CoDirector, Founder Institute Berlin)
* Mohammad Hossein Tavangar (Director , Founder Institute Germany)
* Ferdinand Mßhlhäuser (Digital Strategist, Business Angel & Coach, Founder Institute Germany)
* Kai Malkwitz (Impact Director, Founder Institute Berlin / Germany)
* Amanda Fornal \(Founder\, Founder Buddies \| Orange SFM\)
* Nathan Evans \(Founder \| Angel Investor \| Advisor \, AURIS Investment\)
**On June 12th, 2026, we will gather graduates, mentors, investors, friends and future founders to celebrate the newest Graduates of the Spring chapter of the Founder Institute Berlin / Germany. In addition to the Graduation Ceremony, guests will be treated to short business pitches from the graduates.**
**ATTENTION:** We will run this event as a hybrid event with the possibility to attend on site in Berlin! We will charge a small cover charge for snacks & 1 drink for those joining us on site! Book your ticket here: **[https://t1p.de/Graduation2026_Spring-FI](https://t1p.de/Graduation2026_Spring-FI)**
We expect to see around 10 companies graduating from a wide array of topics ranging from helping perfume enthusiasts find the perfect scent, a platform for configuring and ordering the perfect robot, to an easy-to-deploy ERP tailored for SMEs, and even a powerful solution for managing and growing your savings, and more!
This is the last chance to see the Spring 2026 cohort in its entirety and the first chance to see them as Founder Institute graduated companies!
The [Founder Institute](https://fi.co/s/Berlin) startup accelerator is an extremely challenging program, and graduating is a significant achievement. In fact, less than 40% of applicants are accepted to the program, and less than 30% of those generally make it through. Being a Founder Institute Graduate Company is a seal of approval, signifying that company's founders, mission, model, and plans are being validated by experienced startup CEOs.

The Cash-Flow Breakfast Club - REI Education & Networking event â Reston VA
Reston VA Real Estate Investors, Agents and Professionals!
We just launched a Cash-Flow Breakfast Club for your area! This is the most unique real estate investor club, education, networking and mastermind event in the US!
**Join us for our official launch event for Reston VA on June 25.**
**This is a 12 part education series with new topics every month. This event is session 4 of 12!**
**This event is free but has very limited seating and we are limited to the first 50 to RSVP! Join us and become a founding member of this amazing community!**
**Very limited seating. In-person only.**
**Make sure to RSVP today to reserve your spot.**
**When: June 25, 2026 @ 5:45pm-9pm EST**
**Where: 11710 Plaza America Dr #710, Reston, VA 20190**
The Cash-Flow Breakfast Club is NOT just a meet up. Itâs the most unique Real Estate Investor Community of Mentors, Coaches & Masterminds. A community of growth oriented, abundance mindset, go-giver individuals with a BARE MINIMUM commitment to become financially free through real estate investing.
We focus on providing education and building networks to help every member solve their cash-flow freedom equation, so they can have the time-freedom needed to follow their passions, make a lasting impact and even change the world! The unique format of this event, which consists of high-level education, gamified networking, mastermind breakout sessions, case studies, group deal analysis, market deep dives, and peer-to-peer coaching facilitation makes this the most impactful local real estate investor group a real estate investor can be a part of.
The foundation of the group is built around the belief that everyone in the room has the potential to change the world⌠however most of us never have the time, energy or financial situation to even dare to dream big enough. Most of us have passions that will never be followed, amazing businesses or ideas that will never be pursued⌠unless we can solve the Cash-Flow Freedom Equation, which ultimately leads to Time-Freedom. Once that happens it is usually much easier for us to think bigger, dream bigger, be bigger.

Capital Crescent Trail 5.4 Mile Walk
Sorry I missed you last weekend! Anyone feeling stronger? 5.4 miles today :)
Trying for a slightly earlier time this week to beat the heat and also to make sure we get done in time for everyone to do everything they need to on a Sunday!
We can meet at the Capital Crescent Trailhead on Bethesda Ave by the Honda Dealership (the address I put is for the Honda Dealership, [4800 Bethesda Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814](https://maps.google.com/maps?vet=10CAAQoqAOahcKEwjIueTNruaUAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQCQ..i&pvq=CgwvZy8xMXhkam05MnIiFAoOb3VyaXNtYW4gaG9uZGEQAhgD&lqi=ChdvdXJpc21hbiBob25kYSBiZXRoZXNkYSIDiAEBSNfIpsjxgYCACForEAAQARgAGAEYAiIXb3VyaXNtYW4gaG9uZGEgYmV0aGVzZGEqBggCEAAQAZIBDGhvbmRhX2RlYWxlcuABAA&fvr=1&cs=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&gl=us&sa=X&ftid=0x89b7c97bf7253b1b:0x9a14f8d85d20b753), so people could easily GPS it, trailhead is right next to it).
**Route:** Walk down CCT -> Hillandale Road -> Firefly Lookout -> Dorset Ave -> CCT -> Little Falls Stream Valley Trail -> The Creekside Trail -> Little Falls Stream Hiking Trail Riverfront View, then loop back.
Should take about 2 hours, 5.4 miles.
Dogs, kids, friends, etc. - all are welcome!
