Business & Personal Secrets for Getting Unstuck by Frank Zaccari
To start off your week I have a business focused book. This book is short at 177 pages and from the cover alone, I can tell it is going to be interesting. Thank you to Partners in Crime Virtual Book Tours and Providence Book Promotions.
About the Book:
At times we all get stuck. Maybe you feel stuck in a
dead-end job; your job was a victim of COVID; you live in an area you do not
enjoy; your personal relationship is floundering; the life that you want is
moving further and further from reality, you can't "catch a break,"
or maybe you never got the right opportunity. Does any of this sound familiar?
Be honest! We have all been there. "Things we didn't expect!" "We
weren't prepared for this."
Getting stuck is inevitable – staying stuck is a choice
Book Review:
The book is full of stories of companies or people who failed because they did not focus on the right things. They didn’t adapt to changing markets, they focused their attention on work and not their personal relationships. These stories are used as examples of what can happen and the author explains what could have happened if the person or company focused on the right thing. My favorite part of the book is at the end of every chapter there are a few questions to ask yourself. My recommendation is to take time and really answer these questions and you will find out things about yourself. One of the first sections asks you to identify a habit you want to change, what actions have you already taken, what did you do when you ran into an obstacle, and what will you do when you find yourself going back to that habit. The book of full of these type of questions. I will reference this book as prompts when I’m stuck to help me figure out why.
Excerpt:
Who needs this book?
We all get stuck, frustrated, depressed, anxious,
frustrated, and disappointed. This book is for everyone who has ever felt
stuck. If we are honest, that includes everyone over the age of thirteen. We
are like the car stuck in the mud or a snow bank at times. We keep pushing on
the gas, but the wheels just keep spinning. The rut we are in gets deeper until
we feel we are running in quicksand. It seems the harder we try, the more stuck
we become, and like quicksand, we sink until we simply give up.
Very often, being stuck in an internal issue. It is
something we create and allow to occur. Wow! That’s a harsh statement. You
should be saying, “You are crazy, Frank. Why in God’s name would I ever create
and allow a situation where I am stuck and unhappy to exist.” Well, news flash,
folks, it happens every day.
Maybe you feel stuck in a dead-end job; your job was a victim
of COVID; you live in an area that you do not enjoy; your personal relationship
is floundering; that life that you want is moving further and further from
reality; you can’t catch a break, or maybe you never got the right opportunity.
Does any of this sound familiar? Be honest! We have all been there. Now the
question is, are you going to stay there?
Let’s look at another quote from Mel Robbins:
When you are stuck, the primary task is deciding if you’re
going to change at all. The challenge is finding the ability to create a slight
change in your life and build on it in the face of an overwhelming amount of
resistance. – Mel Robbins – The Five-Second Rule
The magic words are “IF you’re going to change.” Getting
unstuck, moving forward, and achieving a positive and productive life is in
your hands. Greatness is not primarily a matter of circumstance; greatness is a
matter of conscious choice and discipline. Staying stuck is a choice.
Justifying that you never had the right opportunity is not a reason or an excuse.
It is a choice. Where are you stuck in life, and what choices will you make?
Are you going to fall apart? OR are you going to pick up the pieces and start
moving forward?

Thanks so much for the review! I thought this book was very helpful and fun to read. I also loved the questions!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words and wonderful review. The most common place we get stuck is between our ears. So often when we get stuck, it is our thoughts, fears, bias, and mindset keep that keep us stuck. My hope is this book will cause people to look inward, to exam the internal reasons why we are stuck and ultimately realize we have power to get "unstuck."
