Application to Success and Beyond
I found Hollis’ message about breaking through limiting beliefs resonated deeply with my own experiences. For leaders, his advice on embracing vulnerability and taking ownership of your growth is invaluable. For example, as someone with the Maximizer and Futuristic strengths, I’m constantly looking for ways to elevate potential—both in myself and in others. After reading Hollis’ book, I set a goal to regularly challenge myself to step outside of my comfort zone by tackling one new professional skill each year. This has not only enhanced my personal development but also allowed me to better inspire and guide my students and clients.
If you’re ready to take control of your mindset and unlock your potential, I highly recommend Get Out of Your Own Way. Whether you’re a business leader, a student, or someone seeking personal growth, this book offers practical tools and inspiration to help you move forward. Start by reflecting on one limiting belief you’ve been holding onto—and take one small step today to challenge it.
As someone with a Learner strength, I’m always on the hunt for new ideas to expand my perspective. Reading 300+ books in five years has been a thrilling journey of discovery, but Hollis’ honest, no-nonsense approach stands out as a game-changer. It’s a reminder that growth isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about asking the right questions.
