How to maximize your potential with minimal effort.

Step 1) Move away from the computer.
Step 2) Sit on the couch.
Step 3) Do nothing.

Once you are sitting on the couch doing nothing potentially you could be doing anything, including playing bass, splitting the atom, discovering the meaning of life literally you could be doing anything and the potential of what you could be doing is limitless. At the same time you are putting no effort into maximizing your potential. Once you actually do something you are limiting your potential because you are limiting the amount of things you could potentially be doing.

Ouuu i like this! So, i shouldn't feel guilty about not going to work, & just wanting to sit by and stare out the window like a cat all day? "Sorry boss, but i won't be in today ... I'm busy maximizing my potential." :)

Exactly! And he'll give you a big thumbs up thinking that you are more hard working and ambitious than you are.

You're not very good at this. You're supposed to talk about how easy it is to maximize your potential once you know the 3 easy steps, which you reveal in your book for only $29.95.

Actually the thing is it starts with the $29.95 book. Then it is giving 3 day seminars at Airport Hiltons and charging extra for Chotchkies like autographed copies of the book, a totebag, a coffee mug and a 5 CD set of my lecture.

You would have an unlimited future, but a very limited present.
