Stretching Your Comfort Zone
By Robert Smith © All Rights Reserved

It's about having a dream, then actualizing it in the real
world. It's easy to build a dream, but you must follow up with
action to turn it into reality.


Creation - A Two Part Task

To create anything in reality, we must first create it in
mind. We live in a physical world - we see and touch things. Yet,
reality exists first in mind. In order to ACHIEVE, first we must
CONCEIVE. Martin Luther King first said "I have a dream," then he
went out into the world to make his dream a reality.


Go Outside Of Your Comfort Zone

I used to be a long distance runner. A running friend of
mine, Steve Prefontane, set several long distance track records
over twenty years ago. Some of them have never been bettered.

I asked him for the secret of his success. I asked how he
seemed able to win almost every race he entered.

He told me he did not believe in talent - he believed in
commitment.

He said, "If you are not willing to go beyond yourself, you
will eventually stop yourself; you'll stop improving. The very
nature of a 'Personal Best' is going where you have never been
before." He went on with, "I win because I am want to win more
than anyone else, and I am willing to work harder than anyone
else in the race, I'll do whatever it takes."


Enlightenment Doesn't Care How We Get There

We need to be willing to go outside our personal comfort
zone in order to learn the things that are keeping us from
achieving success. We must be willing to do what we have never
done before to succeed. By definition, It's always uncomfortable
to go beyond the comfort zone.


Be Prepared To Be Uncomfortable

It is much easier to learn new things if we have prepared in
advance. Most people put off learning anything new at the point
where it starts to feel uncomfortable. The important work STARTS
as soon as it gets uncomfortable. That's where the REAL
accomplishment begins.

So prepare yourself to be uncomfortable. Start your learning
curve early in the day while you are still alert & fresh. Resign
yourself to the notion that you will not quit when the going gets
rough.

In distance running, the uncomfortable work is done gently -
pushing your personal limits a little at a time, day after day,
just a little bit at a time.

Challenging work takes a toll, and recovery is as important
as the work itself. Breakthroughs usually occur soon after we
take a step back to recover. When we step back, it's easier to
see things more clearly. God made the world is 7 days - the
seventh day in creation is the day of rest. The seventh day is
also the day of fulfillment.


Stretch the Limits

We are all capable of so much more than we think we are. But
if we are not willing to push ourselves outside our comfort zone,
we will never discover our ultimate capabilities.

When we desire to accomplish something is sufficiently
strong, we attract whatever we need for success. We must be
willing to travel a less comfortable path in order to achieve our
goals.


Getting Free Of The Nine-To-Five

Most of us still work at a job. Think about why you work for
someone else. The boss is the boss because he did his homework.
Some of the work was new and uncomfortable, but he did not let it
stop him. He pushed beyond his comfort zone. He made it, and so
can you.

His dream attracted the unique lessons he needed to learn.
Your boss had to be willing to be uncomfortable long enough to
push through. Most importantly, he did the bulk of the work
BEFORE he made a dime. In fact, he probably invested his life
savings in his business.


Develop a Franchise Mentality

Look at a typical franchise operation. People buy a
franchise to avoid repeating someone else's uncomfortable
groundwork. The franchise supplies a proven marketing system, and
you usually supply most or all of your life savings.

Most franchises succeed precisely because people invest so
much in them. They put themselves into a position where they
can't afford to fail. On the downside, you never totally own a
franchise. Usually the franchiser wants and deserves to keep part
of the action in the form of residual income.


Now It's Easier Than Ever

The Internet has made it much easier to turn a dream into
reality. Affiliate Programs work a lot like a franchise operation
but without the high cost.

Selling products produced by others is more comfortable
online. In most cases, you don't even have to buy the product to
sell it. In addition, most Affiliate Programs are free to join.

You can create your own affiliate program to sell your own
products. I'll have more to say about developing your own
affiliate program in a future article.


Start With Your Passion

We develop special expertise in areas in which we have a
strong personal interest. Information is the engine that
motivates the Internet. Developing your passion is the key to
success. Start with your passion and what you already know, and
then develop your own product.

Why Do People Fail?

People do not fail, they quit. Many try something and when
it does not work for them as planned they simply throw up their
