	Minimum wage earner	Most people average this much potential by full adulthood.		Average life span will use this much potential.	This much potential comes by craving beyond average knowledge.	Genuine professional expertise comes here.	This is mastery of your own personal genius.	This takes motivation and freedom to hermitage.

In order to develop your personal potential, you must first understand what happens to most adults along their Zone of Development (ZOD). The chart above was created to demonstrate the actualization of achievement by percentage (%) the gray areas also generally stand for age and income. As you can see, most people hover around 35% and 50% of their personal potential. As a large majority of people cluster in the lower zone, they begin to get comfortable and pull others in who try to grow into the higher black areas back without them.

A growing number of people are becoming aware that they are in the drivers seat with their lives and that their destiny really is in their own hands. Once individuals begin to move beyond what is acceptable by “the crowd” they can invest themselves in what they want out of life. Those in the black area are not defined by age but by their potential and their income grows beyond those "average" percentages.
