Out of my Comfort Zone

I am choosing to step out of my comfort zone. "Your comfort zone is in direct proportion to your money zone." T. Harv Eker.

I do not like my current "money zone." How about you? Do you like your current "money zone?" I am following new paths to reach a new "money zone." Blogging in one of the things I am doing to "stretch" my comfort zone. I am a private person, so to share my thoughts and feeling with total strangers is new to me. But, I also know that sharing will hold me accountable to others and encourage me to continue to stretch and grow.

You know what it is like to be on a diet. We crave the old foods and the old habits. Sometimes we revert back to them just because they are "easy and comfortable." The same thing is true of our habits of thought. We have to "practice" the new thoughts until they become ingrained to the point they are now the "easy comfortable" thoughts.

I am branching into new income producing endeavors. I have an on-line store that sells children's bedding and room decor items. It was scary when I first bought the store. I had no retail experience and did not see myself as a "salesperson." This was a mind shift for me. Instead of seeing a salesperson as "someone who is pushy and obnoxious;" I had to re-frame the idea. Now I see a salesperson as "someone who is offering a service." I have the right to decide if the service is one I choose or not. But, the biggest mind flip for me was when I realized that when I am looking for something or have questions about a product; I not only want to speak to a salesperson - I am very happy when they take the time to answer my questions and help me find the product I am looking for.

We are all salespeople. Whether we want to admit it or not, we "sell ourselves" to others all the time; Even when we are not talking. think about it - are there people you feel drawn to even before they speak to you? Are there others that you try to avoid.

Are you willing to "stretch and grow with me?"
