Extraordinary Achievers Operate Beyond Expectations

"I always envision the best scenario, and no matter how slim the chances, I always start there.

I shoot for the moon. If I miss, I work downward.

Unfortunately, many people do just the opposite. They only shoot at targets they know they can hit. This is a safe way to go, but it nearly always achieves mediocre to below-average results.

You'll find that in nearly every personal or business project you undertake, your natural inclination is to set goals you believe you can reach. The only way to break that habit is to ask yourself , 'If I could achieve anything I want on this project or in this area, what would it be?'

Then, write that down and make it your starting point - and only move downward after you have taken your best shot at the highest target."
