Six years ago, I didn’t even know what it meant to get out of my comfort zone.
A lot of successful people in this industry or any entrepreneurial endeavor have had to overcome some sort of fear at one point which eventually pointed them into the direction that made them a success. They constantly strive to be better than before. Pushing themselves harder and harder everyday.
Personally,to get out of my comfort zone to scare the absolute crap out of me every once in a while. Or I’ll sneak attack myself ninja style. Maybe I’ll make a video on that one day. I’ll be invisible though. Cause ninjas. . . are. . . uh invisible. . .
ohhhhkay
Moving on. . .
I touched on this a bit on my “My Story” page.
I moved to Denver to FORCE myself out of my comfort zone to take action an finally get into real estate like I had been wanting to for about 2 years.
I had a lot of obstacles to overcome. Mainly a severe social anxiety problem. So how did I take care of that? I FORCED myself out of my comfort zone and became a cold calling telemarketer for a mortgage company. I FORCED myself out of my comfort zone and started going to Toastmasters meeting. That was a HUGE step for me! Here is some proof, I sucked, but hey I did it!
More recently. I was asked to speak on one of MLSP’s Wednesday night webinars for about 5 minutes. When I was asked I FREAKED out. I hadn’t even been in MLSP for a month yet. I didn’t hesitate thought, I FORCED myself out of my comfort zone and I immediately said YES!
I think you kinda get my point by now. If you feel like you’re kinda cruising along, you could even be having success, you need to step it up a notch. Otherwise you won’t grow. And you’re not here to just sit back and be the same person you were when you started are you? I didn’t sign up for that.
So get out there and make something happen. You might even piss someone off (most likely if you try cold calling). Awesome! I bet if you do that and keep going afterwards you will definitely be extending your comfort zone.
If you need some ideas on what to do. This is a great Free training with 10 different lead generation ideas that will not only get you out of your comfort zone but I bet you never even thought of most of them.
Go ahead and try that out. I have used a couple of those to personally get out of my comfort zone.

Chuck, this post is awesome bro. It’s so true on having to really take a deep look at yourself on deciding if you are just flat out in your “comfort zone”. There is no growth there!
P.S.- Your video rocked!
Your right. You need to keep finding a new hill to climb and push yourself harder.
And thanks for blowing smoke up my ass about the video. Haha!
