FULFULLING YOUR POTENTIAL

Good morning bloggers.

Dr Renate Volpe says: "If you wish to embark on a journey to fulfil your innate potential, challenge your present mindset."

How's that for some heavy thinking and soul searching and yes, even some challenging of our present mindset!

I don't know about you guys, but I certainly find that I need to stop, constantly, check where I am, look at where I want to be and then make what ever adjustments are necessary.

One of the greatest things about Networking is that I am constantly in the company of 'like minded' individuals, who think out of the box, and when we discuss issues, be they of a business nature and/or a personal nature, I am continually amazed by the innovative ideas, the novel way in which certain issues are looked at. This obviously brings a new perspective to the way I do things or even a new perspective to the way I see things.

Reading new material, even if it just a magazine, also broadens the mind. I am often hugely amused at the look on the faces of people I meet, who ask "What are you reading right now?" and I rattle off the 6 or 7 or even 8 titles of books that I am currently reading - it's a 'hangover' idiosyncrasy from my childhood I suspect, I have never been able to read just one book at a time! Keep current with what is happening in the news, especially from a Business perspective - it may just impact on your Business.

Above all, listen! Listen to what the people around you are saying. You don't have to agree with them, or share their opinions. What you do need to do though, is take what they are saying and process it in your own mind. Compare what they are doing to the way that you are doing things. Is their way better, could you improve on the way that you operate, could you be more efficient, more effective. Perhaps you could use part of what they do and marry it up with part of what you do and/or part of what someone else does, to create your own unique path. This is how you change your mindset.

Requirements though would be as follows:

An open mind.

A willing heart.

Determination to succeed.

A constant need to challenge yourself to be all that you can be and then some....

Do you have what it takes?
