Jürgen Höller

Jürgen Höller (born October 19, 1963 in Schweinfurt ) is a German motivational speaker and author.

Life

Höller founded his first company at the age of 19 and went through several bankruptcies until he finally built a fitness studio and entered the consulting market. Since 1988 Höller has also worked as a speaker, trainer and author. Since the early 1990s he has been organizing motivational seminars in which he offers a mixture of different techniques that ostensibly have a positive effect on the subconscious , namely positive thinking , NLP , hypnosis and mental training.

In 2001, Höller wanted to go to the Neuer Markt with the training company Inline AG he founded and, with the money from the stock exchange, become the “world's largest group in the field of training”. However, the planned IPO failed and Inline had to file for bankruptcy on December 21, 2001 .

In 2003, Höller was sentenced to three years in prison by the Würzburg regional court for false affidavit, breach of trust and deliberate bankruptcy. Because of his good conduct, he was released in May 2004 after partially serving his prison sentence and founded Jürgen Höller KG.
