The Common Mistake People Make When It Comes To Their Potential
That Prevents Them From Reaching Their Potential
There are many people who have a desire to reach their potential.
I see it every day.
On all sorts of different platforms.
In many different conversations.
People are seeking their potential.
But the reality is that few ever accomplish it.
How can it be that so many people are taking action toward their potential...
But rarely reach their potential?
What is missing?
How can that be?
The answer is quite simple...
But perhaps surprising to many.
Where most people make a mistake...
Is confusing “potential”...
With “productivity”.
Now, we all understand that to reach our potential...
We have to “do” something toward it.
Action is necessary.
This is why people who seek their potential usually begin to study productivity.
If we have to take action to reach our potential...
Then taking “more” action will, in theory, get us to that potential faster.
But this is where people go wrong...
Not all action is equal.
More does not always result in more.
How can this be?
Well, let’s look at a simple psychophysiological problem that is dominating the workforce...
And continues to spread...
Burnout.
Now, this is a state of being that does not just “happen”.
It develops...
Over time.
Between months and years...
Usually caused by people trying to do as much as possible in as short an amount of time as possible.
But there is an incredible problem that occurs with burnout.
Just because you are doing more...
Does not mean you are accomplishing more.
If we compare the research on Flow States and Burnout...
We discover that the person in Flow can reach 100% of their daily productivity potential...
While the person in Burnout is blocked at 5% or less of their productivity potential, potentially dropping into negative productivity.
Another way to say this...
Is that the person in Flow is 20x more impactful than the person in Burnout...
Even though the person in Burnout is usually “doing” a lot more.
How?
The person in Burnout is often distracted...
Creating “task-switching” costs, which slows down their progress.
They also have to “refocus” after losing their focus...
Much like how someone can look at the same piece of paper, begin to read, and then not remember anything, forcing them to reread the paper.
They are also making more mistakes...
Which have to get fixed eventually.
That is only a small handful of typical results that happen in Burnout.
But there is another problem that exists for both the person in Burnout and the person in Flow, which can make them both miss their potential.
Just because you are doing more...
Or being more effective...
Does not mean that you are doing it all in the right direction.
For instance...
If I start anywhere in the world...
And my goal is to get to the North Pole...
I could take an infinite number of steps and never reach the North Pole...
Because I am moving in the East or West direction.
This is what happens to many people...
They “say” they want to reach their potential in their lives...
But their actions are not aligned.
So they take all sorts of action...
Can become as inhumanely productive as possible...
Begin to destroy their bodies after they decide that it is not enough...
But never get anywhere near their potential...
Because it is all in a direction that will never allow them to attain their potential.
In order to reach your potential...
You need to make sure you are headed in the right direction.
Most people, however, are too busy trying to be productive to understand whether or not they are headed in the right direction...
And are so busy that they miss clear signs that they are moving in the wrong direction...
Or are being misled or misfed information.
As long as you are too busy...
Trying to accomplish more in less...
You will miss how you need to pivot...
Or change directions...
Or notice crucial information...
Necessary to reach your potential.
Do not confuse productivity with potential...
It is nearly always a surefire way to miss your potential.
