Let’s be real—your mindset might be the thing holding you back.

Are you living by design—or default?

In a world that pushes instant gratification, external validation, and comfort over character, it’s easy to drift. Reset Your Mindset is your wake-up call to stop coasting and start becoming.  Written for the generation raised by well-meaning parents who often acted more like friends than mentors, this book is a practical, humorous, and deeply honest guide to emotional, spiritual, and mental maturity. Through powerful contrasts—contribute or commit, awards or rewards, complaining or training —you’ll uncover the limiting mindsets holding you back and the biblical truths and life principles that can launch you forward.

You don’t need another motivational quote—you need a mental reset. One that challenges your comfort, rewires your thinking, and unlocks who you were actually created to become.

No sugarcoating. No excuses. Just truth that transforms.

Testimonials

In 'Reset Your Mindset' the author uses a contrasting style to challenge the reader to improve. It's a quick read to refocus the reader on success principles that Washco brings from his achievements in sales, martial arts, and in life. My favorite concepts involve significance and mentoring. Could we be "engineered for significance" (ch. 3 p. 26) and not know it? Reset Your Mindset is useful, inspiring and has true leadership implications.

Reset Your Mindset is a powerful and refreshing read that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone, whether you're seeking growth personally, spiritually, or professionally. Washco doesn’t offer quick-fix tactics; instead, he shares foundational principles that challenge and inspire lasting transformation. What makes this book especially accessible are its quick, engaging chapters. They’re easy to read, yet packed with deep insights that leave you thinking long after you’ve closed the pages. This isn’t just another 'self-help' book - it’s a mindset shift. On a personal note, I had, and continue to have, the unique privilege of watching my dad live out these principles every day. His example has shaped how I view significance (not just success), and I can say with confidence that the ideas in this book are not only powerful, they’re proven. If you're ready to grow in a meaningful way, this book is a must-read!

As David's friend, early on, I watched him develop his RESET strategy... Refining it like precious metal in the fires. Each time in the fire brought out a more pure and valuable response to having been put through the fire. I'll use his "Standing at the trailhead and taking selfies" (page 89) for my example. I watched David walk through fire again and again. (Once Literally) RESET your Mindset is a valuable weapon against complacency and apathy. It would be a valuable gift to those people you know that are stuck on the merry-go-round of failure and excuses.

I have known David for over 25 years, and during that time, we have shared joys, trials, stories, and a shared love for our Savior Jesus Christ. David is more than a friend; he is a brother. Over the past 5-10 years, I have witnessed him answer his Divine Opportunities, The Lord’s Call, those moments when the Holy Spirit pulls at one’s soul so powerfully that the only response is to say “Here am I”. While David was working on Reset The Mindset, I was honored and trusted to review his word choices, his content, and, more importantly, his intent.  I was and am honored to be a witness to and a minuscule part of the “Grind” in bringing these words to the printed page. Lastly, if you are struggling with personal accountability, the seduction of comfort, or purpose, then this book is for you.  Each chapter will make you think, reflect, and cause you to look at the person in the mirror and ask the Lord to be the Master Potter and to mold you into your true calling.
