Success = Stepping out of your Comfort Zone
I’m not a big TV Watcher, but I do like to catch Episodes of “What not to Wear” on Friday nights on TLC Stacey London and Clinton Kelly just Crack Me up.
The TV Show centers around making average poorly dressed women, who usually have low self confidence, or low self esteem, and don’t really take the time to put any effort into themselves, and turning them into their BEST possible self ever.
They give them slamming new designer wardrobes, the latest in modern hairstyles, and then brighten them up with gorgeous make-up. And at the end of the day, each and every lady learns the same lesson….
After their, Makeover, they reflected on the outside, who they truly were on the inside.
Brilliant, Vibrant, Positive life Forces, now properly reflected through their image.
Well what does this have to do with Success?
The one thing all the ladies had in common was that they vehemently resisted “change”.
As a matter of fact, when Stacey London or Clinton Kelley would ask the women why they held on to their “favorite” unattractive outfits, they would all say it was because of the “C” word…..they were Comfortable.
Well, the truth of the matter is is that if you do want to take your life, business, self, to the NEXT LEVEL, you MUST be willing to step outside of your comfort Zone.
It’s much easier to just throw on a pair of jogging pants, and flip flops to go to the grocery store, it’s much easier to sit in front of the couch eating potato chips and watching a movie, it’s much easier to make an excuse NOT to do something…. but all those things don’t really get you anywhere, and no Best Selling Book was ever written about a couch potato!
In my personal experience, I knew I would have to be “uncomfortable” in order to get anywhere. If I wasn’t uncomfortable, I wasn’t doing enough!
Has that happened to you?
A few months ago, I had made a commitment to fly to New Jersey for a weekend Seminar.
I had two major problems..
I had a Fear of Flying, and I’d never left my Family (Husband and 3 Children) before, ever…
But it was something I had to do…and the only way to get over the fear, was to just do it! (thanks Nike!)
Not Stepping out of your comfort zone is the #1 obstacle that will get in the way of your success!
Remember this:
Successful people do what unsuccessful people are unwilling to do.
Another vital element to one’s success, is surrounding yourself by “successful” people.
And I don’t mean, just people that make money…
I mean, people that also hold the ethics, values and posture that you value yourself.
For me personally, I was seeking a “structured” environment…and wanted to surround myself by High Energy, Positive and Motivated Entrepreneurs, which is one of the reasons I enrolled as a Student at
If you are ready to take yourself to the next level, and enter a Structured environment that focuses on personal development, and all areas of business, including, Self Improvement, Finance and Marketing…
I recommend you give Success University a try.
You can Pre-Enroll for FREE for 14 days to experience the environment and the curriculum.
We also have a special Marketing Training Site at Team Prosperity for our downline.
I’ve struggled with Focus issues, and getting out of my Comfort Zone and into a structured, step by step enviroment, surrounded by highly motivated entrepreneurs was a Great Step for me..because it has truly taken my mindset to the next level.
So the next time you feel too comfortable, and the thought of doing something to take yourself to the next level, feels uncomfortable keep in mind that that is natural, it is called resistance, and we all go through it…
You must force yourself to visualize what would happen if you actually did what you were resisting…
And like the Ladies on What Not To Wear, you’ll probably be very surprised, and delighted and proud of your results!
Just do it!
