Get out of your Comfort Zone and get into your Growth Zone.

“We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are.” — Max DePree

  • Do you have something that you always wanted to do, but were to afraid to do them, being driven by fear of failure, being inadequate, rejection or embarrassment?
  • Or a new plan that requires skills and knowledge outside of your Comfort Zone.

As beings we consistently gravitate to our Comfort Zones, this means that we are wired to seek comfort; as a result we have hourly, daily, weekly, yearly familiar patterns and habits. So when something threatens these habits and try to break them, we get uncomfortable and nervous, to avoid CHANGE we reject them in order to reduce negative feelings. The challenge is when you comfort Zone is driving you in the opposite direction to meeting your desired goals.

Location, People, thoughts and actions are the four things that make us comfortable.

The key is to break out of your comfort Zone, as you know any move against human nature, does not come naturally, the results that you deliver will continue to be ordinary, and the only solution is to do something extra ordinary

Here are some tips to make the transition easier and more comfortable.

Education is Key

Take a moment to think about the areas that you feel stuck in your comfort zone, how you plan to get out of it, and what goals you want to set to make the changes, research each area as much as possible, read case studies, books and blog. Find guides that give you step by step instructions for the task out side your Comfort Zone, keep going back to the resources identified throughout the process.

Find a Coach

Find someone that you can relate to that is an expert or is associated within the area that you would like to emulate, there need to be hands on or close tutorial guidance every step of the way, and what I mean by this, find a class that will let you participate while working with classmate, sharing knowledge and information, most of whom could be in the same situation as you. There is safety and comfort in numbers.

1 step @ a time

The first step is always the most difficult, but any task can be broken into segments /steps, this will become your path to achieving your goal, some beings can make a change in one leap once they decide to tackle the obstacle, however that is not the best approach for everyone, the formula for success is one slow process with key tasks that helps to reinforce and internalise the experience and build gradual comfort.

Expanding your Comfort Zone

By braking down the tasks through a series repetitive actions or approach, you are actually expanding your comfort Zone, in areas that you would not have considered doing you are now doing them without a second thought, you will then find your self changing your plans as you grow in expanding your Comfort Zone.

By breaking through your comfort zone you are opening your mind to new experience, so it will be natural for your goals to change.

We have to be willing to learn and grow in order to be comfortable to share what we know.

Internet Marketer Journey to Success

May 11, 2010 By: Louie Bennett Category: Journey to Success

I worked in the corporate world for over 19 years before taking the leap to becoming Self Employed, and one of my Goals was to become a Internet Marketer. While my experience in the corporate world levered me to develop key skills plus Mental Emotional and Spiritual growth, I always believed that I was not where I wanted to be financially, so when I was given the opportunity to take the leap I knew this was my chance to reposition and maximise to my full potential for Financial and personal growth.

I looked for an opportunity to work from home that could offer me Personal Development, time freedom AND money freedom AT THE SAME TIME! I also wanted an opportunity that I could believe in – one that would be a fit for who I am and what’s important to me at the deepest levels.

Before now I was one of those individuals that was moving from opportunity to opportunity, registering on site and reading emails for most of the day looking for the right online business, with very little result at the end of each day following the hype with no direction frustrated through the lack of Internet Marketing Knowledge and income, spending with very little return and guidance.

I came across  Alex Jefferys from Marketing with you, and decided to take the leap of faith, and choose him to be my coach, Having Alex Jefferys as my coach was the best decision I ever  made, this has removed the smoke and mirrors from Internet Marketing.

The first module was Forward to Basics, this module teaches  back to basic techniques in order to move forward with a solid foundation, this module has changed my perception on Internet Marketing and the Business behind the Business, Planning setting goals and having the right mindset, My goal is to Build  a online Business that is generating a substantial  Income and help others to do the same , so the focus is to generate massive traffic that will create leads, and this will be my first targeted area, I will follow the direction on the course and give updates on this Blog of my journey so stay posted, thing are about to change right in front of your eyes this is an event you don’t want to miss.

I am a strong believer of having the right mindset and over the years have read books to support my development, I will share those with you along my journey, at present I am reading Dr.John F.Demartini the Breakthrough Experience (A revolution new approach to personal transformation). Excellent reading and Breakthrough process that can be applied o all areas of life. (If you change your world will change) if you have not read this book get it in your collection, if and when you have read this book I would like to here your views.

I have a few favorite quotes I would like to share with you.

Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.

Fear exists when projecting the past into the future.

“You can have everything you want in life, if you will just help enough other people get what they
want”.

The Cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.

“Change is a door that can only be opened from the inside”

“Faith is taking the first step when you can’t see the stairs”

I look forward to sharing my journey with you stay posted.
