James Rick founder of FullPotential.com believes that unlike a Facebook or Myspace which focuses on the technology used for people connecting, Full Potential focuses on the purpose of people connecting which as he states, "offers a profoundly more positive outcome."
Abraham Maslow is noted for his conceptualization of a "hierarchy of human needs", and is considered the father of humanistic psychology, a psychology that emphasizes potential over limitation. Similar philosophies are shared by modern day speakers like Jim Rohn, Anthony Robbins, Stephen Covey, Wayner Dyer, Deepak Chopra whose ideas are at the heart of a $8.5 billion personal development industry in the US or $70 billion worldwide.

James announced the opening of FullPotential.com to anyone who is passionate about improving their life and changing the world. James predicts that social community sites unified through purpose are the future of social communities and may challenge larger rivals like Facebook and Myspace which serve more as a place to hang out. Ning the platform used to host Full Potential was launched in 2004 and is now worth an estimated half a billion dollars.
James Rick has appeared on Oprah in conjunction with the Big Give and appeared on the cover of NSA magazine as the next generation of young speakers. James is also set to appear on Fox News Business for his role in outsourcing, employing more 130 people around the world. The official launch date of FullPotential.com is set for June 15th, 2008, although new members are signing up daily.
