The other day my sixteen-year-old daughter came home from school practically in tears. Sensing her distress I gently inquired as to how her day was. With animated emotion, she began to tell me about project she is working on in science class. She’s studying electricity and has to build an electric generator. She made it abundantly clear to me that she’s never felt “dumber “ in her whole life and she hates project.

My daughter, a bright young woman, has a fairly healthy sense of self and excels in school. She’s well rounded, is a wonderful writer and generally good at math and science. Her true passion, however, lies in creative art realm.

The challenge of building this electrical generator has pushed her to edge of her comfort zone and she’s not a happy girl.

My friend, a talented and promising business consultant is in middle of creating a new company for himself. He is full of inspiration and creative energy and has been gestating a very good idea for some months now. I’ve watched him approach his launch date several times only to see him go back to drawing board to further tweak and revise his presentation.

The challenge of putting himself “out there” in world is edge of his comfort zone.

I am not exempt from this challenge. I’m building a coaching practice. I’ve made bold decision to be self-employed, forgo security of a paycheck and benefits that go along with employment. I’d prefer to follow my dream and carve out a life that fulfills me at deepest level.

Even though I am pleased with my success, and feel good about taking a courageous stand for my life, there are also financial realities and challenges that I must face having my own business.

When I experience seasonal fluctuations of my client load, and find myself wondering how I am going to pay bills for month, I am at edge of my comfort zone.
