  The Real Reason You Feel Stuck: Fear, Self-Doubt & Excuses | Steve Barton

  Aug 17, 202635 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail Why do we stay stuck even when we know what we should do? In this episode of From Drift to Direction , I sit down with executive coach and author Steve Barton , creator of The Game of Ten , to explore the thought patterns that quietly keep us from moving forward. After more than 47 years in business — including helping grow a family business from $200,000 to more than $2 million in annual revenue — Steve discovered that achievement alone doesn't necessarily create confidence, peace of mind, or fulfillment. We talk about fear, self-doubt, guilt, shame, overthinking, blame, and what Steve calls the “self-imposed prison” of excuses. We also explore why setting an intention matters, why you don't need to know exactly how you'll reach your goal before starting, and how greater awareness can change the way you approach both life and success. In this conversation: Why successful people can still feel stuck How fear and self-doubt influence our decisions Why blame and excuses keep us from moving forward The difference between intention and simply drifting through life Why you don't need to have everything figured out before taking action Steve's Game of Ten framework The role of awareness, gratitude, and personal responsibility Why overthinking may be one of our biggest obstacles If you're feeling stuck, questioning your direction, or waiting until you have everything figured out before making your next move, this conversation may help you see things differently.

  Stop Settling: The Question That Changed My Life!

  Jul 20, 202628 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail We grow up believing that loyalty is always rewarded. Stay at the same job. Stay in the same city. Stick with one path. But what if the advice that's meant to keep you safe is actually keeping you stuck? In this episode, I share one of the biggest mindset shifts I've had over the last few years: the difference between commitment and settling. I talk about watching someone lose a 20-year career overnight, why I walked away from projects that no longer aligned with who I wanted to become, and why experimenting has taught me more than playing it safe ever could. If you've been wondering whether it's time to make a change, this episode is for you. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why job security isn't what it used to be • The difference between commitment and settling • Why failure is information—not the opposite of success • How trying new things gives you clarity • The one question you should ask yourself regularly • Why your skills—not your job title—are your greatest security This Week's Direction Challenge ✓ Run one experiment. ✓ Upgrade one skill. ✓ Ask yourself: "Am I still growing here?"
