Bestselling author Mark Sanborn (The Fred Factor) shows readers how they can get better by discovering and pursuing their true potential.

In The Potential Principle, Mark Sanborn teaches readers how to improve by providing practical steps and revealing where to focus efforts. Getting better results from consistently using a small set of easily remembered tools, ones that prevent complacency, create improvement, and break through barriers. By identifying the four key areas in which improvement is possible--thinking, performing, learning, and reflecting--and applying the four tools of improvement in those areas--disrupt, refocus, engage, and expand--Sanborn reveals the secret for achieving breakthrough improvement in any area of life--;Why you should improve.

Disrupt yourself: if you dont, something or somebody else will ; (re)Focus: the antidote to perpetual distraction ; Engage others: the keys to uncommon improvement ; Increasing capacity: the secret of the partially filled glass ; What matters: how a speech about hunting knife safety changed my life -- Appendix 1: Sixteen combinations of matrix and breakthrough improvement ; Appendix 2: The eight questions for making your best better.

Wealth, notoriety, place and power are no measure of success whatever. The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done and what we might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made of ourselves on the other.

H. G. WELLS

In 1985 three-time Olympic athlete John Howard was at the Bonneville Salt Flats, trying to set a new land speed record... on a bicycle. Howard was not riding your dads Schwinn. His was a specially built bicycle. One turn of the pedals moved the bike more than 110 feet. When Howard set the land speed record, his monitored heart rate was 195 beats per minute. His top speed? 152 miles per hour.

If you guessed that this is the top speed for riding a bicycle, youd be wrong. A decade later, a European beat Howards best by reaching a top speed of 161 miles per hour.

You might have little or no interest in bicycles or land speed records. Thats not the point. Whats important is this: We have no idea what is possible physically, mentally, or organizationally. Most of us far underestimate our own potential and the potential of others.

BEYOND EXPERIENCE

Even though Im no mind reader, I can say with a high degree of confidence that you were at least surprised, if not shocked, that a human could ride a bicycle so fast. Nothing in the average persons experience with bicycles would suggest that anyone could ride one as fast as 150 miles per hour. Weve never ridden a bicycle faster than 40, maybe 50 miles per hour. Whats more, most of us have never been in a car thats gone faster than 110 or 120. Based on our experiencethat is, what we knowmost of us would guess the top speed for a bicycle is far slower than whats actually possible.

This means that sometimes our experienceour frame of referenceworks against us. In this case our experience didnt lead to a complete failurewe didnt say 500 miles per hour. But we set a limit based on what we thought was possible, only to find out that we didnt have a clue. Of course, most of us arent terribly bothered that we underestimated the land speed record of bicycles.

But what about when the subject is you and your potential? The hard truth is that we use the same deductive powers on ourselves that we used to determine the speed of the fastest bike ride. In fact, its actually worse. My question about the top speed of a bicycle was meant to put your imagination to the test. But what if I had asked, How fast could you ride a bicycle?

Now your experience is working against you even more. Once again, I cant possibly know how fast you think you can ride a bicycle. But I can tell you one thing: Your answer is probably wrong. You can ride a bike much faster than you think.

Your imagination is limited because of your experience. Maybe thats why Einstein is purported to have said imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited to all we know and understand.
