Leaving Your Comfort Zone Behind

By Bob Cox

The overriding, #1 reason for my success in life has been my ability to say YES to situations outside my comfort zone. I am perceived as a "go for it" guy, up for new challenges in both the professional and personal realms.

But the truth is I have become this person through concentrated effort. I wasn't born this way!
You, too, can re-invent yourself. Every challenge is an opportunity to do so. All you need is the willpower to ask more of yourself and the motivation to follow through.

If you're hesitant to try new things - especially those that demand more of you than you've ever given before - keep in mind that you are capable of a lot more than you know. Just don't expect impossibly quick results. (After all, there is a learning curve for almost everything.)

Next time you sense that your fear of failure is holding you back, I want you to will yourself to take action. Immediately. Don't put it off. Don't wait another day or even another hour. Ask yourself to be bold and to believe that you will find a way.

It doesn't matter if the challenge is something "small" like meeting your soon-to-be in-laws (well, that may be huge) or writing the first draft of a new sales letter. Making a "don't delay" request of yourself will disable the fear by pushing through it.

Force yourself outside of your comfort zone and grow from your experiences. You will discover that all things are possible.

[Ed. Note: Overcoming your fear of failure and challenging yourself to do something new and different is just one of the techniques taught by success mentor Bob Cox. Check out his program for even more tips for achieving all your goals and changing your life for the better.]
