So true. We’re all guilty on not wanting to move out of our comfort zone.
“Keep doing what you’ve always done and you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got”
i’ll add it to my list-
“we do the things that are hard; we achieve the things that are great”
“rome wasn’t built in a suit”

@Jill
Reminds me of a saying I used to hear in the corporate world “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have”. Goes along the same lines as thinking like a CEO, and pushing yourself to be better and reach higher.

Great article about coming out of the comfort zone! Sooo true and to one of your commenters, sooo scary!

I recently wrote an article on my blog “What Every Successful Sales Person Knows” It’s about thinking of yourself as a CEO.
I think sort of a great segway to coming out of your comfort zone! If we all steped out of our comfort zones and thought ofseoves as our own CEO’s we could really shake up the business world! Cheers!

@Steve-
Thanks, but what did you think of the post title?

I loved Married w/ Children, even if my friends heckled me about being an Al Bundy!

hey Matt,
Awesome post title…
Let me say that again, awesome post title.
Also, great advice, and I have learned the benefits of going outside of one’s comfort zone, but it’s tough!
Finally, I think I’ve said this before, but the images you pick for your posts are great. On this one though, I clicked the photo credit at the bottom of the post and it is a broken link. ;(

PS. Anytime I hear about “working in a shoe store”, I think of Al Bundy in Married With Children. Did you ever see that sitcom?

@Erin Bury
Totally agree with your comments. In my opinion getting comfortable takes that edge away that you really need in order to keep moving forward. Something has to be driving you, or you can get stagnant.

I once got told that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over yet expecting a different result. We need to continually be changing the way we do things, tweaking and working so that we are always moving forward.
