1. Your capacity is your potential. It's the limit of what you can accomplish. But most of us have a "cap" on our capacity that we've placed there ourselves. We believe that we're not good enough, smart enough, or experienced enough to achieve our goals. But Maxwell says that our capacity is much greater than we think it is.

2. Change is mandatory, but growth is not. The world is constantly changing, and we have to adapt in order to stay ahead of the curve. But growth is a choice. We have to decide whether or not we want to become better versions of ourselves. If we don't choose to grow, we'll eventually fall behind.

3. The path to excellence is a process. No one is born excellent. We all have to learn and grow in order to achieve our full potential. The path to excellence is not always easy, but it's always worth it.

4. Don't start doing something when you feel like doing it. Do it until you automatically feel like doing it. One of the biggest challenges to growth is getting started. It's easy to put off doing things that we don't enjoy or that are difficult. But Maxwell says that the key to success is to start doing things anyway, even if we don't feel like it. Once we get started, we'll start to build momentum and eventually, the task will become easier.

5. Identify your critical capacities. Maxwell identifies 17 critical capacities that are essential for success. These capacities include things like energy, creativity, leadership, attitude, character, and intentionality. Once you've identified your critical capacities, you can focus on developing them.

6. Invest in yourself. The best investment you can make is in yourself. When you invest in your own development, you're increasing your capacity to succeed. There are many ways to invest in yourself, such as reading books, attending seminars, and taking courses.

7. Surround yourself with positive people. The people you spend time with have a big impact on your mindset and your success. If you want to achieve your goals, surround yourself with positive people who believe in you and will support you on your journey.

8. Don't be afraid to fail. Failure is a part of life. Everyone fails at some point. The important thing is to learn from your failures and keep moving forward. Don't let the fear of failure stop you from pursuing your dreams.

9. Celebrate your successes. It's important to celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem. Celebrating your successes will help you stay motivated and keep moving forward.

10. Give back to others. One of the best ways to achieve fulfilment is to give back to others. When you help others, you're not only making a difference in their lives, but you're also making a difference in your own life.

Maxwell's book is a powerful guide to achieving your full potential. By following his advice, you can blow the cap off your capacity and achieve your wildest dreams.
