Summary

In a recent survey, 3,000 people were asked, “Do you feel like you are living up to your full potential?” I was shocked to find out that 96% of them said no! How did we get here, and how can we change that? My friend Jon Acuff and I had a great conversation all about our potential: what “potential” refers to, how we can reach it, and some pitfalls to avoid along the way. If you want to close the gap between your dreams and your reality without causing yourself to burn out in the process, this conversation is for you!! Jon is one of INC’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers and the New York Times bestselling author of nine books, including his most recent, All It Takes Is a Goal: The 3-Step Plan to Ditch Regret and Tap Into Your Massive Potential. He’s a husband and dad to two teenage girls, living outside Nashville. Lean in and listen as Jon and I discuss: How to get around the massive barrier between you and what you want to do? (Jon calls this barrier “the vision wall”) The difference between a high performer and a high achiever A fun tool that creates gratitude, teaches the superpower of self-awareness and will help you be present The only reason people leave their comfort zones The connection between personal responsibility and potential Jon’s last visit to the show was equally amazing, especially for parents of teens. The things we believed as teenagers can be so impactful. It is so encouraging to think about how the teens in our lives can learn to create new thoughts that lead to actions and even better results. Be sure to listen in to find out how! Favorite quotes: “You should dream but when your dream is divorced from reality it doesn’t end in a healthy marriage.” “Excellence is boring.” “Potential is the gap between your vision and your reality.” “You're the CEO of your actions, not the CEO of your outcomes. Focus on those actions.” “The Best Moments list starts to teach you about what you want in the future. The list reflects your past, informs your present, and prepares your future.” “The only reason people leave the comfort zone is because what’s on the outside is better than what’s on the inside.” “The harder the challenge, the kinder the words.” Coaching this week: Automatic thoughts that can stop you from starting a business and how to battle them.
