I just read an awesome article by Brian Tracy from Success.com, here’s the summary!

Psychologist Abraham Maslow once wrote, “The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.” The average person settles for far less than he or she is truly capable of achieving. The truth is we’re all extraordinary. You came into this world with more talents and abilities than you could ever use. You could not exhaust your full potential if you lived 100 lifetimes.

Your brain has 20 billion cells, each of which is connected to as many as 20 thousand other cells. The possible combinations and permutations of ideas, thoughts and insights that you can generate are equivalent to the number one followed by eight pages of zeros. According to brain expert Tony Buzan, this number is greater than all the molecules in the known universe.

In other words, whatever you have accomplished in life to this date is only a small fraction of what you are truly capable of achieving. The challenge is that you come into the world with no instruction manual. As a result, you have to figure it all out for yourself. Most people never do. They go through life doing the very best they can, but they never come within shouting distance of doing, having and being all that is possible for them.

In the Bible it says, “Ask and ye shall receive.” Develop the habit of asking everyone, and in every way possible, for the answers that you need to move ahead more rapidly. Read books on selling, and put into action what you learn. Listen to audio programs. Attend every sales seminar you can find. Continually ask other successful salespeople for advice. And ….most important…..develop the habit of immediately taking action on any advice or good idea that you receive!!
