The desire to achieve extreme success often stems from a recognition of one's current position, which may not align with that vision. This realization indicates a need for personal transformation and growth. To pursue success, it's crucial to identify the qualities and changes necessary to evolve into the person you aspire to be.

Author Chris Murray emphasizes the importance of self-reflection in his book, "The Extremely Successful Salesman's Club." Instead of merely focusing on external achievements, individuals should ask themselves what they need to improve and how to cultivate the mindset required for their desired level of success.
