Probably most important reason why more people don’t succeed is that they are unwilling to get out of their comfort zone. Everyone one has a set lifestyle, a set of habits and patterns that they are comfortable with. You have a set group of friends, set type of foods you like, even a set place to sit and relax that just feel comfortable. These are all things that make up your comfort zone. For most people skills that are necessary to build a successful home business are not something we do every day and as such are not in our comfort zone. These are skills such as making phone calls, giving presentations and training others.

To demonstrate power of your comfort zone we will do an exercise. STOP right here and do this exercise before you go on any further. The exercise is simple. Take off your watch, and put it on your other wrist – go ahead do it – now!

Strange isn’t it! If you are like me even process of doing watch up on opposite wrist was difficult. In fact as I try to type here every letter feels strange because my watch is on wrong wrist! Now I challenge you to where it this way for at least one day. As you go through day you’ll notice that you eventually adapt do difference. Eventually you don’t even think about fact that your watch is on wrong wrist. In other words your comfort zone has been expanded!

By now you should realize how powerful comfort zone is in your life. In order to try anything knew you need to step out of your comfort zone. Think of trying some exotic food for first time. There was likely some apprehension in trying it, a little nervousness perhaps? This is because you need to get out of your comfort zone to try that food – if you don’t get nervous trying new food then its because you have made trying need food in and of itself part of your comfort zone.
