At FinerMinds, we often talk about going from good to great and from great to the best. Often the last step is the hardest so we might need a little push.
And that’s why I want to introduce you to Gay Hendricks who describes why this is and how it happens.
The article below sheds some of his insight on the problem and gives a fresh look at tackling the issue.
Editor’s Note: Gay Hendricks is the author of numerous bestsellers, including The Corporate Mystic and (with his wife, Dr. Kathlyn Hendricks) Conscious Loving and The Conscious Heart. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford and taught at University of Colorado for twenty-one years before founding The Hendricks Institute in Ojai, California.

“ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR BIG LEAP?”
Here is some rapid-fire coaching on how to solve the one problem that’s between you and your ultimate success, excerpted from the new book by Gay Hendricks,
The Big Leap
Whether I’m coaching a billionaire CEO like Michael Dell, or a 12-year-old piano prodigy, I base my approach on the following bottom-line insights:
Successful people operate in one of several zones: the Zone of Competence, the Zone of Excellence, and the Zone of Genius. Most people stall out in the Zone of Excellence. The people who make it big and are happiest go all the way into the Zone of Genius. Achieving that transition is what I call “the Big Leap.”
The reason most people don’t make it into the Zone of Genius is because of the Upper Limit Problem. The Upper Limit Problem is the one obstacle that prevents us from attaining success and true happiness in all aspects of life, often a manufactured feeling of guilt, stress, doubt, or worry we feel when we reach an “upper limit” of positive feeling.
The Upper Limit Problem occurs because we have an inner thermostat that determines the amount of love and success we allow ourselves. When we exceed our setting, we tend to sabotage ourselves so that we can return to the old, familiar zone where we feel secure. The trouble is that the thermostat was set before we could think for ourselves, in early childhood.
Later in life, when we hit our Upper Limit, we often engage in self-defeating behavior. We provoke arguments, get into accidents, and become sick in order to bring ourselves back down.
If you can learn to spot and transcend your Upper Limit, you can make a rapid transition into your Zone of Genius. There are four questions to ask yourself in order to make the transition into the Zone of Genius:
o What do I most love to do?
o What work do I do that doesn’t seem like work?
o In my work, what produces the highest ratio of abundance and satisfaction to amount of time spent?
o What is my unique ability?

The tele-seminar of Kristin and David Morelli on April 22nd was the best sales pitch I’ve heard in a long time. Could not have been staged any better. If it were my mission/purpose to help people to unblock their birth-right to abundance/wealth/money, I don’t think I would make myself so rare and definitely would not charge $ 1000 per hour or make such a big deal out of the energy tools that I am selling. What a difference to Gerald O’Donnell (remote viewing/remote influencing) who is very low key. You can FEEL that his passion comes from his heart. I am doing his course and can read people’s energy and thoughts (just like David Morelli). I was totally disappointed.…
