It is inevitable, but plateaus happen during training.
But if you look at the phenoms that dominate competition and blast through the ranks in a matter of 3, 4, or 5 years, something very different is happening. Are they better learners? Do they have better instruction? Surely something in their training differs.
In my opinion, I believe it really comes down to examining the weakest part of your game.
Watching matches of yours taped on video help the most in this regard (especially matches you lost).
An expert/instructor may watch the match and conclude that you did everything wrong and should change even basic strategy (which you may not have even known until asking)
Someone less experienced may point out just one flaw.
Regardless it is important to get everyone's opinion/advice and adjust accordingly.
Asking "where did I get stuck in this match" and "where did I have no answer to what my opponent did" often times leads to a very quick answer in terms of what to work on next (and breaks plateaus).

Very good advice (o^-')b
I hate when I hit a plateau.
I've found changing up partners helps. I was grappling with one of the best guys at my gym for about a month, and at first it really improved my game, but then I started feeling like I was defending the same few moves over and over again.
Like everything in life, you can't do it all by yourself. Feedback and support from others will always give a better result.
Thanks for the motivation I will turn my plateau into a Mountian!
Couldn't agree more The Dawg.
