I HELP YOU WIN YOUR GAME OF LIFE.

As an Executive Life Coach & Mentor Fabian Erlhöfer supports entrepreneurs, successors and executives on their path to success AND personal fulfilment.

“Success without fulfilment is the ultimate failure.”
— Tony Robbins

I know it is.

After 5 years in a multinational, I ran my family manufacturing business for 16 years, growing it from €7m to €30m and 250 employees after a successful generational change.

But deep down I had completely lost touch with myself. Hypnotic daily life. Hamster wheel. I was burnt out. I was the CEO of a company, but for a long time I was no longer the CEO of my life (more on my journey). Worst of all: I wasn't even aware of it.

But after years of suffering, I have found my path to success AND fulfilment.

And I am on a mission to help you find yours.

I UNDERSTAND YOU.

If you are like me, an entrepreneur, successor or business leader, there is a good chance that at some point in my life I was in the same situation you are in now. I UNDERSTAND your…

  • Fears, self-doubt and the feeling of being overwhelmed.

  • Phases in which you have the feeling of being stuck, but lack the energy to initiate necessary changes.

  • Tiredness and lack of motivation due to constant challenges and problems.

  • Constant pressure, inability to switch off and night-time worries. 

  • Constant inner restlessness as a perfectionist and workaholic.

  • Moments when you ask yourself the question of meaning.

  • Demanding everyday life, the lack of balance and the feeling of inner conflict between work and family. 

  • Thoughts and feelings as an entrepreneur handing over or leaving your own "baby".

I struggled with all of this.

But after having found my way to winning my game of life, I know that it is absolutely possible for you to win yours, too. To find success AND fulfilment. To achieve your goals and make your dreams come true. To live the life you desire.

My belief is that in order to achieve true success and fulfilment in life, we must develop our own potential.

And the first piece of good news is: your potential is enormous!

You have everything. Everything you need is there. You are enough and you are perfectly capable of overcoming all your challenges, achieving your goals and realizing your dreams.

In order to activate and develop your potential, you must decide to take action and follow through. This is where the Now comes in.

The second piece of good news is this: you can change your life if you act now!

The decision is yours alone. You are not dependent on anyone else. You are the creator of your own life. No matter where you are in life today, the decision to act now will bring you a decisive step closer to the life you desire. The subsequent consistent and persistent implementation of the defined and necessary actions will get you there.

“Of course you can win your game of life. Know your why, commit yourself to follow a proven approach with consistency and determination, and then take one step after the other, and you will.”
— Fabian Erlhöfer

TESTIMONIALS

  • Faced with the challenge of taking over the family business, I reached out to Fabian during a difficult time. I needed someone who truly understood and could guide me through this transition. Remembering his values, charisma, and sense of humor from our past business relationship, I knew he was the right person. Since then, he has consistently given me the confidence to tackle any situation.

    From the start, I felt supported and understood. Fabian empowered me to use my talents in both work and life, bringing peace and clarity, especially in difficult situations. He helps me see challenges from a new perspective, focused on the present while building towards what I truly want. His experience and support have been a constant source of strength. Over the past few months, Fabian has been more than just a consultant—he’s been my advisor, mentor, and partner.

  • We were supported by Fabian Erlhöfer for many months during the development of our company. The regular sessions with him were instrumental in helping us to find a market-oriented approach and to shape our business idea for success. He was able to familiarize himself with highly complex topics in a very short time and help us to develop a strong position in the market with his experience and deep understanding of customer-oriented action.

    It is particularly important to emphasize how competently Fabian Erlhöfer not only points us in the right direction - as is the case in many other coaching sessions - but also enables the company to proactively find its own solutions and implement them in the right places with the appropriate means.

    We are extremely grateful for the time we were able to spend with him and can wholeheartedly recommend his coaching.

    CTO of Charit Insights, Hamburg

  • Fabian coached me extremely well in my private matter of “selling my house, combined with the purchase of a new, barrier-free property” and, with his know-how, creativity and empathetic manner, worked out new ways of discussing the matter with my wife, which have now led to success, which I myself had not been able to achieve for years.

    Thank you very much for your support, dear Fabian!

    P. S. I'm looking forward to moving into my new, barrier-free property in mid-October.

  • I've been working with Fabian Erlhöfer since almost two years now and I'm very pleased with his consulting. His guidance has helped me not only tackle challenges but also grow and stabilise my business.
    Fabian’s experience is vast, and he listens carefully, offering clear and direct advice. I would confidently recommend him to anyone in need of similar support. Beyond being a business consultant, I feel like I've gained a trusted partner I can count on.

  • Coaching with Fabian was an incredibly enriching experience for me. Right from the start, he impressed me with his empathic and structured approach. Each session was clearly structured and goal-oriented, which enabled me to tackle my challenges systematically. I would particularly like to emphasize the tangible solutions to problems that we worked out together. These were not only theoretical, but could also be implemented immediately in practice, which helped me a lot in my everyday life and work.

    I can unreservedly recommend Fabian's coaching - it helped me to develop clear perspectives and achieve tangible progress in both my private and professional life.
