I’ve always wanted to reach my full potential and abilities. How about you?
[gap height=”15″]
While I’ve had success, I do not think that I’ve created super-extraordinary levels of success quite yet, nor do I believe I have tapped into my full potential. Others can judge me; but I know my true potential and whether or not I’m living up to it.
[gap height=”15″]
Don’t let anyone else judge your success.
[gap height=”15″]
If you don’t consider it your duty – even your obligation – to live up to your potential, then you will live a life far short of what you are capable of.

I want to tell you about four changes I made – and you can make too – to reach your HIGHEST potential:
[gap height=”15″][gap height=”15″]
1. Write goals down
[gap height=”15″]
Do this every day. It is YOU who sets these goals. Don’t let anybody else tell you what your goals should be. Think of success like breathing air; your last breath is important, but it’s your next breath that’s vital. Goals keep you focused on what’s next, and writing them down keeps you on track.
[gap height=”15″][gap height=”15″]
2. Choose things just out of reach
[gap height=”15″]
Don’t just think about what is “realistic.” The problem with realistic thinking is that it’s usually based on what others think is possible. They don’t know your potential. Whenever you start a task with an average outcome in mind, you will only take average amounts of action.
[gap height=”15″][gap height=”15″]
3. Take massive actions
[gap height=”15″]
Never do anything typical. Take massive action until one day, it is no longer an unusual activity but a habit. People will ask you, “Why are you still out this late?” “What are you doing calling me on a Saturday?” “You never quit, do you?” And even, “What are you ON?” Big goals require big actions. Reaching your full potential requires massive actions.
[gap height=”15″][gap height=”15″]
4. Stay persistent
[gap height=”15″]
How do you get a nail into a wall? You hit it over and over and over. Rome wasn’t built in a day. The ability to persist on your path regardless of setbacks, unexpected events, bad news and resistance is a trait common to those who make it. Continue firmly in your purpose in spite of conditions. Reaching your potential requires you to be persistent – there are no quitters here.
[gap height=”15″]
How much success have you accumulated in your life? Whatever level you have attained, you can do more. Never limit your potential success, and never limit what you will do to create and keep that success. Have monster goals and attack them hard.
[gap height=”15″]
Remember that people who are highly successful – in both their professional and personal lives – continue to work and produce and create long after they’ve flourished.
[gap height=”15″]
When it comes to your career, never work for your quota – work to your potential.
[gap height=”15″]
Working for your potential will keep you highly motivated. This also ties into your ethical obligation. YOU know what you’re capable of, not others. Quotas are numbers made up by others for you to reach. How did they come up with that quota? Don’t operate by what others think is possible, work to your potential.
[gap height=”15″]
Understand, also, that you will not reach your full potential without increasing your knowledge. You must train and invest in yourself to make yourself better. LeBron James is trying to reach his full potential as a basketball player because he trains daily. As a salesperson, I train daily.
[gap height=”15″]
Anything you want to fully flourish in will require your time and energy. You can’t reach your full potential holding on to your current place. Start writing your goals down each day. Choose things just out of reach, and take massive actions to get there. Stay persistent and over time, you will start reaching your potential!

If you don’t consider it your duty–even your obligation–to live up to your potential, then you will live a life far short of what you are capable of.
