Whatever you choose to do or not do will determine how much you can grow or achieve. If you want to achieve great results, you need to take the equivalent actions to achieve those results. Chances are, your biggest limiting factor is YOU! To get out of the proverbial box, you need to be willing to think in ways you have never thought before. Here are a few key principles to help you overcome your perceived limitations: 1) Understand and leverage your potential - be open to personal transformation. Until you, as a leader, are prepared to analytically assess your strengths and weaknesses, you will not be able to scale to transform the organization (or your domain). The bottom-line is constant - in order to transform an organization (or your domain), you must first be willing to transform yourself. 2) Work backward from your imagination, rather than forward from your past. It is critical to understand that a limitless future does not happen as a result of continued education and an enthusiastic dream. It comes as a result of your ability to see what will make a difference, take a stand for that opportunity and have the courage to set talented people in motion to make radical innovation happen. 3) Remember that whatever you can imagine, you can accomplish. Ask yourself some revealing questions. Knowing your customers, and understanding the need for continuous change: 1) What is an enormous strategic opportunity? 2) What would change your business and their business forever? 3) What is missing that, if provided, would truly make a difference? In addition, what is missing in your industry that would truly revolutionize the products/services/processes/etc.(Think Apple, Microsoft, Facebook...)? What will take your company/domain from status quo to breakthrough? What are you so passionate about that you would be willing to transform not only your company, but yourself? Above all, know that achieving a limitless future goes beyond stretch goals and general improvement programs. Removing your own boundaries is not just about self-satisfaction and self-empowerment - it is about inspiring and empowering others to also be everything they can be - it is all about unleashing human potential.
