[STOP NOW] - Who Else Is Comfortable?

I'm going to talk to you right now as a
friend, businessman and a mentor...

There are so many people out there, who have
yet to find a reason why They can't make
things work.


They'll say things like:

- I try everything but nothings working
- My family and friends don't believe in me
- I don't have any money to invest


What that is, is a negative mental affirmation.
They've grown up with that employee mind-set
that once something has been done, it's done.

That's the difference between an entrepreneur
and the employee.

If I were to do something and then be done with
It or take my break over the weekend, it would
Drive me nuts!


Why?


The reason is, is that I haven't reached what I
want to achieve. So once something is done, I
don't sit back and expect it to all work out.

I'm never comfortable and the same should
apply to each and every one of you who has
yet to make it work, so that you can be where
you want in life.


I'm telling you now, If you're comfortable right
now that means that you aren't growing.

If you want to experience a lifestyle most people
will never experience, then you need to push
yourself and progress daily to grow.

It's never going to be easy, but your patience
will pay off as long as you expand your vision
and push yourself outside of your comfort zone.


You've got to really give a damn about each and
everyone who has the potential of working with
you. The moment you break and get too
comfortable, they'll notice it and move on.

Your words, your actions and the things you do
represent you and your brand and people don't
forget what they see and hear.


So What Do You Want This Year?


Your life can be mediocre, or it can be like the
way you've always wanted.

You have a choice... I know what I want

    this comfort zone thing ..i know success people like to refer to the state most people get stuck in .. as a comfort zone ..

    but the truth is their is so much discomfort in this place ..that it is not really a comfort zone ..what it is it is a zone populated by others with the same types off problems ..so there is empathy and support ..

    you should actually always be aiming yourself to being much more comfortable and be intolerant of imposed discomforts ..

    now that is unsafe ..and it is being unsafe that is the real meaning of getting outside the comfort zone ..

    everyone in my family freaked out when i just went and took a 2 and a half month vacation in the Philippines ..hell i guess if the filipino neighbors next doors though i was crazy ..lol

    yeah i spent too much money and have none left now ,, or for now ..

    many people do the safe thing while being terribly uncomfortable .

    the will fear getting shot.. by a criminal when ..most gun deaths are suicides or criminals shooting each other ..and stuff their faces with something they got handed through their car window while their driveing and texting ..at least their doors are locked .

    today the safe thing most people do is getting to be the riskiest thing to do .

    you have to be willing to take risks that don't actually include probability of death ..while seeking to be as comfortable as possible ..or the comfort that fits you ..

    what make you comfortable may be far different than what make many other people comfortable..so we try to adhear to some well marketed standard of comfort that fits us into a social group .

    blah blah blah.. i'm all over the place here ..

    in any case to win you have to play to win .. unless you are playing to play..but if your playing not to lose or playing it safe ..you are playing it wrong ..

    on your gravestone it will be a very sad thing if the real life quete "her lies some one who took the safest path to the grave "

    P.S ..this doesn't mean you get a pass to do stupid shit that mat cause your death ..

    I always wanted to be comfortable, but than I realized I had to be rich in order to be comfortable- Les Brown

    I NEVER want to be "comfortable" in the traditional sense that most people consider "comfortable"

    The "traditional" comfortable is.

    - Working until your 65+
    - Trade your time for money
    - Living a unfulfilled life
    - Being just like "everyone else"
    - Struggling paycheck to paycheck
    - Having ZERO time
    - Having ZERO Freedom

    Is that really the lifestyle of comfort we are all taught?

    If that's the way it's "supposed to be" than I want nothing to do with it!

    I'll do what I have to in the meantime, but that doesn't mean I'm going to resort to it forever!

    mathew ..if you compare that to the bottom 5 billion people on the planet

    it beats struggling without a paycheck and not

    for the most part the human race is in survival mode ..doing enough to survive day to day or week to week even what they do to survive today threatens their long term prospects ..

    the comfort zone in survival mode ..means you will do the 9-5 to get money..so at leats you will have a warm place to sleep food to eat and some entertainment ..and they are able to improve little by little here and there


    just serviving is great,,but staying there when you can move beyond that point ..no so great ..because the littlest things start to threating your survival..like losing that 9-5 .. or an injury that makes it hard to work..
