Personal development for Dads: Unlock your potential

System Minded is your personal development platform to heal past wounds, discover your authentic self, and grow toward your most ambitious dreams.

Discover what is holding you back

Many of us carry unseen scars from our past—wounds that quietly influence how we navigate the world today, often neglecting the self-care and we need. You might find yourself reacting in ways that surprise even you, struggling to create a safe and nurturing space for your partner and family as you navigate the complexities of fatherhood. It's not because you don't care or aren't trying hard enough; it's often because old patterns and unresolved emotions from your childhood are still at play.

I'm Steve Lindgren, and I've been where you are now. That's why I created System Minded—a holistic approach tailored specifically for busy dads like you, focusing on personal development for dads looking to enhance their lives. My mission is to empower you to heal past wounds, uncover your authentic self, and achieve your most ambitious goals—all while balancing the demands of fatherhood and maintaining wellness.

System Minded is a personal growth brand designed to help busy dads navigate the journey of fatherhood, focusing on leadership and personal development for dads to overcome challenges, heal from past traumas, and live in alignment with their true selves. We offer workbooks, tools, and resources that empower you to break big goals into micro-steps, helping you make consistent progress in your personal and professional life.

Who are these workbooks for?

Our workbooks are designed for dads (and anyone) who want to focus on self-improvement, self-care, wellness, and personal growth, enhancing their skills but may not have a lot of time to dedicate each day. They’re perfect for those seeking practical, actionable steps to achieve their goals, heal from past experiences, and build better habits.

How can I benefit from System Minded products?

System Minded products provide a structured approach to personal growth. Our workbooks break down complex goals into manageable micro-steps, making it easier to stay consistent. They help you uncover your core values, passions, and purpose while providing tools for wellness, self-care, building confidence, enhancing your leadership skills, developing new habits, and maintaining your motivation.

How much time do I need to dedicate to the workbooks?

Each workbook is designed to fit into a busy lifestyle. You can make progress in as little as 20-30 minutes per day. The exercises are structured so that you can work at your own pace, allowing you to take breaks and come back whenever you’re ready.

How is System Minded different from traditional therapy or counseling?

System Minded is a self-guided, action-oriented approach to personal development for dads, designed for busy dads who want to balance fatherhood and improve themselves on their own schedule. Unlike traditional therapy, which focuses on diagnosis and in-depth exploration with a licensed professional, System Minded emphasizes micro-goals and practical exercises you can tackle independently. It’s perfect for those looking to build confidence, discover their true selves, and heal past traumas without the time commitment or structure of ongoing therapy sessions.
