Feeling Stuck? Maybe It's Time for a "Reset"

Have you ever failed to do an update on your phone or computer, just to realize why the update was recommended? Glitches. Processing speeds. New features. We've all been in a spot with technology where the next best option is a reboot. Turn it off. Turn it back on. Hope for the best. And if the updates and reboots don't work, back to the factory settings we go. 

Maybe that's one of the best approaches for when we feel stuck—a factory reset. Back to "just us," without all the extras. Back to our sweet spots, the things that make us us, taking action that's in alignment with our natural giftedness may be the easiest path to getting unstuck. 

The key to getting "unstuck" is related to your Dominant Dimension 

Each of us are one of the following: a relator, a doer or a thinker. We either lead with relationships, action-taking, or systematic thinking. If we know where we are most dominant, we can more quickly get unstuck by leaning further into that area.  

When relators feel stuck, they may find it helpful to connect with others - grabbing coffee with a friend, hearing someone's story or offering a word of encouragement to a colleague. 

When doers feel stuck, they may find it helpful to let themselves dream big about the future, get their bodies moving outside or participating in a brain dump onto paper. 

When thinkers feel stuck, they may find it helpful to get some quiet time to detail out the next steps in their plan or assess why they're in the season they're in. They may also find it helpful to ask deeper, more clarifying questions around what they are or aren't doing.  

So which one are you? If you're not sure, there's a chance to find further down.

Getting unstuck is easier than you think.

It's not uncommon for us to think that getting unstuck will require us to be stretched beyond our limits and pushed into a place that's really uncomfortable. But what if it's easier than that? What if getting unstuck just looked like you being more of yourself? What if it meant honoring what you're naturally good at? What if you paused on the push to be all the other things? It's easy to imagine why a relator may feel stuck when they've been pulled into being a doer or a thinker. Or why a thinker may be stuck in throws of relating or action taking. 

It's okay to get stuck, but it's not okay to live stuck. 

The next time you're stuck... pull back, factory reset and do something that is 100% within your giftedness. Whether you're a relator, doer or thinker, simply take action that aligns with your giftedness. And if you're finding that you are stuck often, maybe changes need to happen in how you're running the business... perhaps you've given yourself a role that isn't in alignment with how you think and how you take action. 

So which are you? And what do you need to do to get unstuck?

Discover Your Dominant Dimension

Ready to find out if you're a Relator, a Doer, or a Thinker? Then just click the button below to get started!

It's called the MindScan™Assessment and it's based on the work of Nobel-nominated scientist Robert Hartman. I use in my coaching engagements because of its propensity to easily give you a deeper understanding of yourself and your gifts. It allows you to more clearly understand how you think and act, which has a direct impact on:

  • how you show up
  • how you sell
  • how you operate
  • how you build relationships
  • how you thrive
  • how you pursue your goals 

Understanding where you are dominant will equip you better for any season of business you face, but particularly in the stuck seasons. You'll be able to more clearly see the path forward. 

  • “The MindScan is quick and easy. Totally different from any other assessment I’ve taken before.”
  • “I like the MindScan because it doesn’t put me into a category.  It doesn’t label me, but allows me to recognize how my thinking affects my actions.”
  • “I appreciate how the MindScan brought awareness to some of my thinking patterns that I didn’t even know were holding me back.”

It only takes about 10-15 minutes, and there's no charge to take it, Upon completion you'll receive a note from me, along with access to your results, and an invitation to a free followup consultation to review your results! 

And if you know somebody else who's stuck and in need of a reboot, then please forward them this link!

We truly are better together.

Millions struggle with a hidden productivity saboteur, draining their energy and leaving them feeling perpetually behind.  Have you ever felt the pain of saying this: “Where did my time go?  I was so busy and yet I feel like I didn’t get nearly as much done as I could have?” How many times have you made the same mistake repeatedly, wondering how to break the cycle and get it right? How often do we let poor habits creep into our lives without noticing them? The answers to these questions and, our “salvation” in terms of increased productivity and efficiency and released stress, is hiding in plain sight at this very moment.  And it’s right in front of every one of us.  It’s in the actions that we take every single day.   The problem is that we’re so close to the subject at hand that we don’t see it as clearly as we could.  We don’t make as much progress as we could becau...

The 7 Reasons Most People Fail to Maximize Their Potential in Their Lifetime

Despite the vast capacity of the human mind and spirit, most people go through life without ever fully realizing their potential. This is not due to a lack of ability or opportunity alone, but often a combination of psychological, environmental, and societal factors that quietly shape choices, behaviors, and beliefs over time. Understanding these barriers can shed light on how individuals can break free and live more purposeful, impactful lives. 1. Fear of Failure and Rejection One of the most powerful forces that holds people back is fear—particularly the fear of failure and rejection. From a young age, many are conditioned to avoid mistakes rather than embrace them as part of growth. Society often equates failure with inadequacy, leading individuals to settle for safety over aspiration. As a result, people avoid risks, suppress their ambitions, and steer away from opportunities that might lead to setbacks, even when those same opportunities could lead to breakthroughs. 2. Lack of Cla...

From Turmoil to Transformation: A MindScan Profile

Drake Lewis's MindScan journey began at 19, at a time marked by upheaval and a deep sense of being lost. A decade later, a reconnection with the MindScan™ Assessment and the guidance of ProAdvisorCoach Josh Greco helped Drake find the clarity he needed to navigate his path and bring a greater focus to his life. MINDSCAN PROFILE INTERVIEW: DRAKE LEWIS Tell us a bit about where you were in your life when you first took the ProAdvisor MindScan™ Assessment. Just a little backstory… My parents split when I was 10, and things got pretty rough after that. My dad came back into the picture about five months later, but I really only saw hime every other weekend.  I was being bullied in school, and generally just unhappy with life. When I was 15, I moved in with my dad and stepmom, who had just moved back to Charleston. That first semester of 10th grade was super awesome. It was completely different from anything I had experienced in life until then—I made friends, I wasn't bullied. It w...
