Don't you hate this?
You're moving along nicely...

And then somehow – before you even know it – you've ended up stuck, knee deep in a puddle of mud you weren't expecting or perhaps just couldn't avoid.

It's not particularly unique. In fact, getting stuck is just part of the messy glory of being alive.

And it's not fatal – with time and some effort you'll eventually get yourself out.

But what if there was an easier and faster way where you could get unstuck when and how you needed to?

I'm Michael Bungay Stanier, the creator of Get Unstuck & Get Going on the stuff that matters.

My experience with coaching people all over the world combined with my experience as a facilitator and my work in the world of creativity has allowed me to create this practical and powerful self-coaching program.

And I can also get over-excited at times – which you can for yourself in this interview about the first edition of Get Unstuck & Get Going on Breakfast Television.

What keeps you stuck?

I've spent all of my professional life helping people, teams and organizations go from good to GREAT.

And I've learned that the important question isn't "Why are you stuck?" (As I said before, that's just part of the human condition).

The really interesting and important question is this: What KEEPS you stuck?

It's not because you're somehow bad, broken or dumb – because you're not.

The thing that keeps people stuck is that they don't apply the right degree of leverage to the challenge at hand.

You get leverage from a tool that amplifies your strengths and abilities and helps you get unstuck and solve the problem at hand. Archimedes said it best 2000 years ago: "Give me a lever and I can mover the world."

The art of getting unstuck in a graceful and efficient manner is having the right type of tool that you can use at the right time to gain the right type of leverage. If you don't have that then:

• You either have too little leverage (or none at all) – which means you're trying to sort it all out by yourself. The result? Typically it's slower than it needs to be, exhausting... and not always successful
• Or perhaps there's too much leverage – and you're using expensive resources, programs and processes. It's what a friend of mine calls "using a jackhammer to put in a nail..."

Do you have the leverage you need?

The power of the Get Unstuck & Get Going self-coaching program lies in the leverage it gives you.

It transforms and amplifies your natural brainstorming and problem-solving capabilities so that you can quickly, creatively and efficiently get unstuck by generating new options and turning those possibilities into an action plan that works.

All of which serves that bigger goal...

Helping you move your life from Good to Great.

What's gathering dust on your shelves?

Go into any sculptor's studio and you will instantly spot which tools are loved the most. The handles of the chisels are smooth and burnished and the blades are always sharp...

Sadly, most programs like this one are anything but that. Many end up as yet another good intention sitting unused on your shelf.

I'm guessing that you're not after any more of these. You want something that stays dust-free, something you love to pick up and use, something where the edges stay sharp.

How do we keep the edges sharp?

One of the things that makes the Get Unstuck & Get Going self-coaching program truly unique - and ensures you real results - is that it doesn't lose its edge

(What never? How is that possible you might ask? Surely every blade gets dull after time.)

The secret lies in its design – and here are the FOUR CRUCIAL WAYS Get Unstuck & Get Going stays sharp for you.

#1 An endless source of powerful questions that help you generate new and relevant ideas and possibilities

The core tool, the Get Unstuck & Get Going book, provides almost 50,000 possible combinations of thought-provoking questions, inspirational quotes and wise success models, you can use time and time again to inspire you to think differently.

That means every time you use it, you'll get fresh, provocative ways to view your challenge that will help you generate new and relevant possibilities.

#2 A process that allows you to move quickly and easily from feeling stuck through generating new ideas to creating an action plan to get unstuck

The Action Acceleration Sheet, the worksheet at the heart of the self-coaching program, gives you the structure you need to get focused, find inspiration, be accountable for your actions and achieve your goals.

That means you don't get stuck at any of the key transition points

• Defining the challenge
• Generating ideas
• Moving to action

The Action Acceleration Sheet includes a key element in your plan that will almost double the likelihood of you completing what you want to do.

#3 A portable, practical format so you can have a 24/7, 365-days-a-year coach in your pocket

The Get Unstuck & Get Going tool is portable, practical and easy to use. This is just-in-time coaching: when you need to use it, it is there and ready to go.

#4 A coaching program, not just another book - you have the on-going support you need to make genuine change in your life

The Get Unstuck & Get Going self coaching program draws on key insights from adult learning so that you have the tools, processes and support you need to get yourself unstuck more quickly and more efficiently.

It's not just a book. The self-coaching program includes audio lessons, email lessons, and a bi-weekly newsletter packed with tips. And all for the sake of making sure that this is something you use, you use well and you use often.

Is it time to get out of the mud?

Stuck can become a habit.

Even though being stuck can make you anxious – it's still got a seductive quality all of its own.

When you're in that mud, it can be easy enough to resign yourself to your fate. After all - what can you do? Why not give up for now, let things pass on by, and wait for things to change...

But there comes a time when being stuck like this stops being tolerable. When you realize that the responsibility for getting you unstuck lies with you – and it's time to do something different.

You'll know that moment: It's like exhaling after you've been holding your breath for too long.

If that moment is now, then it's time to find the right tool to get unstuck and to get going on the stuff that matters to you.
