Bust Out Of Your Comfort Zone To Success

Today I held a ferret.

That might not sound like a lot to you but I have been terrified of little furry creatures with sharp teeth for as long as I can remember…

So when my daughter handed me this ferret and commanded that I cuddle it I was shaking. Then I looked down, saw a little creature drop its dozy head on my arm and yawn as it nestled in.

That’s when I realised there was nothing to worry about.

The same thing happens each time you or I step out of our comfort zones, try something we thought was terrifying and realise it’s not at all. In fact, it can even be a good experience.

Sometimes a great one.

That same fear holds so many people back from succeeding so today I am looking at ways to bust beyond your comfort zone once and for all and embrace all the greatness that exists beyond it.

To do that, let’s start with this excellent podcast from Duct Tape marketing and the inimitable John Jantsch that asks if your comfort zone is holding you back:
