Unlocking full potential is within everyone's reach, yet unfortunately, not everyone manages to get there.
In life, there are two dimensions:
Your full potential - the capabilities you possess.
The potential you believe you have - the actual results you achieve.
For most traders, there's an enormous gap between these two. It's not that they lack knowledge or the ability to do more, but they simply don’t recognize the untapped potential within them. Without a clear understanding of your full potential, how can you know the size of this gap?
You never really know exactly what your full potential is, but there's a powerful step you can take to narrow this gap: expand the limits of your mind to broaden the surface of what’s possible.
