Our Full Potential Philosophy

We all have the power and resources to live our lives to the fullest. If you're already there, great! If you feel your life could be better, then take courage in Carl Bard's words:

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending.

- Carl Bard 

To reach your full potential, we believe that you need to continuously grow five core areas:

Professional Development

Career

Health

Meaningful Relationships

Personal Development

Finance

Many people make the mistake of maximizing one or two areas at a time while neglecting other areas. For example, some people focus on growing professionally and financially at the detriment of their health of relationships. Others might devote all of their time to personal development or relationships while disregarding their career path and learning the professional skills needed to make a good living.

To fully grow one area, other areas need to be developed to support that growth. Picture sitting on a five-legged stool. If the legs are all different lengths, you're going to fall off. It's the same idea with these five growth areas. They complement and support each other so you want to ensure that each area is growing at a similar pace.

For example: If you manage your impulses well (personal development), you're more likely to follow through on your financial plan or diet and exercise regime. If you exude confidence, your work interactions and prospects may be enhanced. If you're financially independent, it become easier for you to pursue your passion and take risks at work.

We designed Embrace Possibility to help you reach your full potential by sharing practical insights to develop these five growth areas. You can access this information through our articles, workshops, and services.

We first field test what we learn to ensure the ideas we share work (at least in our lives).

To start, assess where you are for each of the five growth areas. Give yourself a score from 1 to 10 in each area where 10 is way beyond expectations and 1 is way behind track.

If you're not sure how to assess yourself, take our free full potential reality assessment.

Socrates was right when he said:

"The truly free individual is free only to the extent of his own self mastery, while those who will not govern themselves are condemned to find masters to govern over them"

Personal mastery is required to succeed at work, connect deeply with others and to carry out any of your plans. This broad category consists of your mindset and operating principles, interests and hobbies, philosophical and spiritual outlook and the way you manage your life. What is the life you've always dreamed of and are you actively pursuing it?

Topics Include: Philosophy, Learning, Personal Goals and Interests, Spiritual Life, Self-Help, Focus, Decluttering, Confidence, Overcoming Procrastination and Self-Esteem

Money amplifies your impact and it is only a means to something and not an end. In our society, financial independence gives you access to enriching experiences and the freedom to choose what you want.

When you don't have money, you are forced to spend your time making money for other people as opposed to realizing your dreams. When you accumulate wealth, you can live your life the way you want to without worrying about making money. What's great about financial freedom is that you can achieve it no matter where you start from.
