      Thanks for your feedback.

      Most people complain about everything and anything and they keep it that way most of their lifes.

      The idea is to stop complaining and start doing something that is going to take us to a different level.

    Whenever I feel uncomfortable or like I'm in over my head I know that I'm on the right track and pursuing something worth while. Those are the times I most feel alive! I'd rather attempt something incredible and fail than coast. You always start great conversations Gianni!

      The idea is to feel comfortable doing the uncomfortable thing out there.

      It might look like a contradiction, but it is true. Doing what you are afraid of, it is going to take you to the next level, It could be in your personal life or financial life.

      When I say something uncomfortable, I mean doing something positive, something that is going to help you to grow to reach your target or the other end.

      I believe, by doing the things we are afraid of and by conquering our fears we become stronger inside of us.

      I hope that helps a bit.

      Thank you for being here developing yourself in this fascinating online business.

    Nice post Gianni. Working in your comfort zone make things easy but working away from your comfort zone makes you feel uneasy and awkward. Behind all the feelings working away from your comfort zone makes you more hardworking and you'll learn a lot from it. For some people it makes them more motivated to work if they feel uneasy.

      Thanks for your feedback.

      You are absolutely right.

      I believe, if you do everyday one little thing that you are afraid of, or you feel uncomfortable doing. You will see the reward paying off.

      Thanks for being here.

      All the best.

      When you step out of your comfort zone, you start to see the grow of whatever you do.

      Do not be scared of being out of the comfort zone.

      Well said.

      Practice that, and whatever is around will change.

      In order for the external world to change, we need to change first from the inside out.
      Once we change or fix what is inside of us, The things that surround us will also change.
      We need to take the first step forward in order to make this things happen in this life. If we do not make it happen nobody will make it happen for us.

      I hope that helps a little bit.

      All the best.

    My comfort zone has changed drastically since I started working online. At first I was kind of holding back. I felt like being on Youtube or getting my voice out there on video was awkward and a waste of time.

    Since I got over that fear, I began to thrive, but recently I started to hide away from doing videos again.. I need to get back into it as soon as I can, otherwise I might feel awkward again. I'm still doing good, but I know I can do even better.

      The idea is to get comfortable doing the uncomfortable.
      Once you start doing the uncomfortable thing out there you have to carry on doing it.
      Otherwise you go back to square one.

      Thanks for your opinion.

      I hope this helps a little bit.

    I think it was Eleanor Roosevelt who once said, "Do one thing everyday that scares you."

    I can definitely say that a year ago I was TERRIFIED of doing videos or even just putting my name out there. In fact it was my husband who challenged me to get out of my comfort zone and do things I would never otherwise do if it meant succeeding in starting my own business. I still find things I am scared of as I try new things, but it has allowed me to embrace the emotion of fear (for the most part, LOL.... I am not sure I'd ever go as far as jumping out of a plane - although it is on my bucket list of things to do before I die).

      At least you are trying your best.

      You already started doing some of the work you did not do before, probably because you thought you were not able of doing it.

      The thing is, once you start doing whatever it is you think you cannot do, once you go past that point of no return.
      You find out it was not as hard as you thought it was going to be.

      I hope that helps a little bit.

      Great post,
      have this poem on my mirror to remind me not to get stuck in my comfort zone.


      My Comfort Zone
      Unknown

      I used to have a comfort zone
      where I knew I wouldn't fail.
      The same four walls and busywork
      were really more like jail.

      I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
      But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

      I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much.
      I said I didn't care for things like commission checks and such.
      I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
      But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

      I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win.
      I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
      I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before,
      I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.

      If you're in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out,
      Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
      A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.

      Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!

      In order to grow we must do the things we do not like.

      That way, we become more experienced in what we do.

      All the best.

    Moving out of your comfort zone is a good experience. Something good or bad may happen but at least you we're able to experience or you would know what to do the next time you want to get out of your comfort zone. You will not get scared of the out come because you know you will learn something new.

      I think you are right.
      Every time we step out of the comfort zone we learn something.
      Something good or bad.
      Not matter what the outcome is. There is something to learn out there that is going to make our inner strength stronger.

      All the best.

    Being an employee was my comfort zone, guess I am just like those many people who finds the security of having a job that pays regularly. But I move out from that comfort zone and I've been busy now in a lot of things.

    I quit my job which not only pays me little but stresses me put so much. And Now I'm doing great on my own Also i have enough time for almost everything now

    Just love this song in the intro:

    I have stepped out of my comfort zone lots of times the last years. It's so important if you want to succeed in the IM niche. There is so many new things you need to adapt and take action on. No way you can afford to pay other to do everything... But that's fine... This is where you learn something!
