I have sold my shares in Kaspar Berg. For me, the decision represents greater focus and a deliberate look ahead to 2026.
Focus means choosing
You can do anything in life, but you can’t do everything.
The older I get, the better I understand this quote. That is why I sold my shares in Kaspar Berg GmbH last week.
I had been involved in the company for several years and made this decision very consciously, looking ahead to 2026.
To me, the quote means this: focus does not come from starting something new. Above all, it comes from having the courage to bring things to an end.
Consciously or unconsciously, I have repeatedly removed one or two things from my life over recent years to start the new year with greater clarity. Sometimes they were projects. Once, it was even a long-standing friendship, because our paths, perspectives and priorities had changed. That was difficult for me at the time, but looking back, it remains a good decision. It is still not easy for me to speak or write about it. I do so anyway because it might help someone else make courageous decisions for themselves.
Why I sold my shares
This year, it is fitness equipment, and with it Kaspar Berg. Of course, that is not comparable to a long-standing friendship. But as a big fan of our products myself — see the photo in the original post — it was not an easy decision either.
The outcomes I had hoped for did not materialise. At the same time, I realised that my energy is much better invested elsewhere: in existing responsibilities, growing projects and subjects I care about wholeheartedly.
So one of my goals for 2026 is to do a lot, but do fewer things at the same time.
Who has similar goals for the coming year?
