As a high performer, you know what you’re good at, whether it’s school, sport, business, or life. Driven by the need to win and love of success, you stick to what you’re good at, until suddenly it’s not enough. You’re not enough. When your go-to strategies fail, when you start to fail, how do you get back on top?
Author Gavin McHale knows this feeling all too well. A high performer in hockey, school, and later in business, he didn’t know how to fail—until that was all he knew. Gavin tanked his professional hockey career after it barely started. When he started his personal training business, he found himself self-sabotaging once again. He didn’t realize it wasn’t enough to do the work; he had to embody it. Stuck in a vicious cycle of negative self-talk and limiting beliefs, Gavin learned that he had to stop looking outward for answers. Instead, he needed to turn inward.
What To Do When The Hard Work Stops Working is a self-improvement guide for anyone ready to invest in their personal growth. Hard lessons and practical tips based on research and the author’s hockey career will help readers understand how making the unconscious become conscious will transform themselves and their lives. If you’re looking for another fluffy, superficial self-help book, you’ve come to the wrong place. If you’re ready to get your emotions in check and rewrite the stories holding you back, Consciouspreneur is for you.
Gavin McHale is a mindset expert who brings clarity, calm, and conviction to topics many authors only skim. He breaks down complex metaphysical, subconscious, and quantum concepts in a way that supports real-life application.
You can’t build a successful business unless your head is on straight. Consciouspreneur doesn’t just make that case. This book shows you how to live it out. As a Christian entrepreneur, I found this book refreshingly aligned with scripture. Gavin’s approach helps me practice what I believe: trust, surrender, presence, and purpose. His message is clear and affirming.
Plus, every page carries a friendly, encouraging tone. It’s evident that McHale is walking in a high calling. He’s not just a coach. He's not just a writer. He’s an emerging thought leader for a new generation of entrepreneurs who want more than success. They want peace, integrity, and meaning.
I reference Consciouspreneur at least weekly and bought 25 copies to share with my entrepreneurial friends. If you are looking for a "business book" to read, START with Consciouspreneur. Mindset is everything, and McHale addresses everything mindset.
This book is a keeper. —Jody Dyer, Author and CEO of Crippled Beagle Publishing and Story Mountain Media
