Consider how hesitant or scared most people are to step outside of their comfort zone, to experiment, or even to change. This has created a society of information sharing instead of self-experimentation. Think of the discoveries, inventions, and achievements that have occurred during your lifetime. Those people had many setbacks while in the process. Yet they did not stop. Each failed experiment brought them one step closer to the solution.

Maximal Achievers succeed as a direct result of their setbacks, not in spite of them. They say that failures are the stepping stones to success. The failures revealed what did and didn’t work, and showed things that you didn’t know before. Many scientists and inventors were not afraid to experiment with themselves and their ideas. They had the courage to live purposely, constantly endeavoring to learn. The hallmark of a Maximal Achiever is having the experimental mindset. They believe that experiments never fail. So when you employ the scientist in you, you’re committing yourself to constant growth and development. When it seems hopeless your inner scientist gets charged up and that is when you feel the passion and the rebellion. The Maximal Achiever in you gets charged up and ready to go again.
