It is certainly funny how life works. Just the other night while I was in New Orleans, I made friends with Lloyd, the night manager at the hotel I stayed in. We ended up talking about our goals in life, leading me to tell him about my blog and the Collegiate Performance Magazine.
I told him that my goal is to become a professional speaker, a business coach and consultant, to publish the book I am writing, and to film the reality TV show I am writing. Likewise, he told me about his goals. Lloyd was my first inspiration for writing this blog post since we spoke about what was keeping him from reaching his goals or Achieving HIS Full Potential.
Life works in miraculous ways. The second motivation of why it was imperative for me to create this post was revealed to me while driving from New Orleans to Tulsa yesterday as I was listening to podcasts by people I like. This one in particular by Scott Smith of the Daily Boost called “How to Achieve Your Full Potential,” ironically was exactly about what Lloyd and I had talked about – our own Human Potential.
We all have goals, dreams and aspirations. In this podcast, Scott speaks on why some are successful in achieving theirs and why others are not. Those that are not yet successful all have one thing in common – constraints, or things that hold them back.
To successfully achieve your ultimate goals, dreams and aspirations one must:
- Recognize what your constraints are
- Remove your constraints so you can move forward
- Move forwards to Achieve YOUR Full Potential!
You can achieve anything and everything you set your mind to. Don’t take it from me; go listen to Scott’s podcast to hear it first hand! He ends the podcast powerfully by saying - “You have all the potential in the world. You have some hope that believes you can get there. You have the faith that it’s within you right? You have that. You have the frustration that says you have all this potential. If you can only remove the constraints, your on your way!”
My constraint was the full-time commitment that my college education demanded of me, which diverted my focus, time, and effort away from growing my business. On August 8th, I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Marketing and a concentration in Sales eliminating my constraint.
I am now moving forwards to Achieving MY Full Potential. There is nothing holding me back. I have embarked on my journey with my compass pointing me daily towards Achieving MY Full Potential.
What is holding you back?
Listen to Scott’s podcast on iTunes called “How to Achieve Your Full Potential!” Invest in yourself! Don’t let anything stop you and Achieve YOUR Full Potential!
