See all formats and editions

Stop feeling stuck and unclear on your purpose in life. It's time to feel energized and live in alignment towards achieving your full potential.


In order to do that you need to get unblocked and clear about what success looks like in your life. The problem is your internal dissatisfaction has created strained relationships, both personally and professionally. This makes you feel drained, conflicted, confused, and hopeless.


I believe the current high levels of workplace disengagement and depression are not okay! I understand the internal struggles holding you back which is what I created a personal transformation framework to help you break free from your current state and create a fulfilling life.


  • Have you dreamed of more but have temporarily given up on life?
  • Do you sometimes feel afraid and stop short of pursuing that big goal?
  • Do you feel your desire for achievement and continual improvement has not translated into success?


If you answered yes to any of these you are likely a restless achiever! The dreams and desires lingering inside you are achievable and exist to spur you to action.


You were born for more and you know it!


In Catalyst, you will discover 6 steps to create a powerful personal transformation and identify what is holding you back. You will also explore how:

  • Information overload is suppressing your internal power
  • Fear is a hidden epidemic infecting millions, silently robbing you of your full potential
  • Goal setting without proper guardrails creates unbalanced focus and causes unnecessary setbacks

Review

Josh McLean uses his powerful life story as an example of how he was able to overcome his deepest fears and create a life on his terms. Josh's style is direct and encouraging. You will find his vulnerability is inspiring and authentic. -Nick J. Murphy, Coach, Speaker, & Author



Josh does an incredible job of directing hard-working achievers into authentic spaces that stimulate tangible goals aligned with the why in your life. Each chapter gives a call to action that empowers a person to high achievement through the analysis of our natural passions. Catalyst is a refreshing and practical read; one I'm certain that I will come back to again when I am in need of a new perspective on reaching higher goals. -John Chang, Edpreneuer



We are all looking for the yellow brick road to follow in our careers, to have the courage and the drive to go where others do not. In his first writing venture, Josh has chosen to pull back the curtain and show us all what it takes to be fearless. Josh is a living example of someone who in this new venture to "put pen to paper" is a continuation of his life journey to be ALL that God has made him to be: a living catalyst. -Keith Niccum, Senior HR Professional

5.0 out of 5 stars Rising leader? Interested in impactful living? Read this book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2018

Catalyst is an inspiring and challenging read! The book opens with a thoughtful approach to evaluating one's true identity through a lens of vulnerability and transparency. There's a strong call to know yourself before you can lead yourself in future goals. There are also a number of practical steps in each of the chapters; what McClean titles "big ideas" in light of each person's "superpowers". Each chapter feels like a cliffhanger in a mystery novel where the ending of each chapter is really left up to the reader to decide as the reader is asked to make personal choices before moving on to the next chapter. Perhaps more gripping in Catalyst is a section on fear, acknowledging that great success in life is usually within a person's reach when they can overcome their fears. McClean writes, "Once you learn to identify the presence of fear, you can begin to go on the offensive and neutralize its impact... Fear makes you a fugitive on the run." I strongly recommend this book for anyone who's willing to dig deeper in evaluating personal goals and for those who desire to live impactful lives.

I can't remember how this book ended up in my Kindle library but I finally got around to reading it and boy am I glad I did. The book is well-written with easy to understand concepts and exercises that are designed to help you improve your life. The author shares just enough of his own story without sounding self-serving. I liked the fact that he presented his ideas succinctly and didn't fill up the the book with unnecessary filler material, thus making it longer than it needed to be. Each chapter contains useful questions and positive quotes. Keep a notebook or journal with you as read this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read with tangible advice
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2018

I like that this book is full of both inspirational ideas as well as tangible advice -- most books have one or the other, but not both. I much appreciate its concision (I read it in one sitting). The author is bravely willing to share the practices and ideas that have worked for him over the years, but also humanly acknowledge that his own work is always in process. This fits my own philosophy that the work never ends, that there is no finish line, and that all we can really do is share our learnings along the way. Highly recommended.

I'm halfway through this book and it's already helping me form new habits and change the way I think about how I spend my time. It is not overly sensationalist, the way many self help books tend to be. Instead, it's very honest, vulnerable, and down to earth. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve themselves.

The fact that Josh has taken the leap from finance professional to inspirational author is evidence in itself of the power in his way of thinking, which he outlines in the book. He introduces new ideas on how to identify and achieve your long term goals through short term success with tactical ways to find time and mind space from which to do so. If you’re looking for a book to help engage the potential you know you have, this book is for you!

I found Josh's life story entirely relatable. I particularly liked the section on how he handled fear & how he successfully navigated through that phase to where he is right now. I would never have imagined that someone would be concerned about a big booming voice. However, it goes to show how we can easily fall prey to inner feelings of insecurity & inadequateness. I too often feel like a fraud, and I'm glad Josh gives us the tools to navigate through such challenges in life this book.
