Comfort Zones feel safe, but hold you back...

Comfort Zones feel safe, but hold you back...

It's easy to settle for what's comfortable, but imagine the things you could accomplish, if you aimed higher. Comfort zones offer stability, and give us a sense of protection, because we are confident we know what we are doing, but they also limit our potential.

Greatness requires us to step beyond these boundaries and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.

So, if you want more out of life, you must do more. If you want different, you must do different.

Stepping out of your comfort zone, takes a lot of courage. I[I think that is why it took me YEARS to have the guts to do it. It means letting go of what's familiar, and safe, and venturing into the unknown.

I asked myself many questions during the time I was thinking about leaving retail, and then talked myself out of it time and time again....

What if I fail? What if I can't do it? What if I'm not smart enough? What if, what if, what if...

What I realized....[later than sooner] but I guess better than never, was that all those "what if's" I was asking myself was just holding me back from an opportunity that could be really amazing. I was holding myself back, to not grow into my true potential, and give the life I deserve not only to myself, but to my entire family.

Ask yourself: What is it that I'm so afraid of? Is it failure? Is it the fear of the unknown? Are you staying "stuck" somewhere, that you no longer have a passion for, and that no longer fulfills you, just because it's the easiest thing to do?

IF you are settling for something that doesn't excite you to get out of bed in the morning, then maybe this is the sign you've been looking for, to try something new? Something that you can do for yourself, and leave a legacy for your family.

If you are in a place right now, that fulfils you, and you absolutely love going into work every day, then I congratulate you! I really do! But I do challenge you to ask you, what are you going to do when the day comes, and it will, when you can't do that job anymore, or heaven forbid, they have cutbacks and you are on that list, what are you going to do?

Maybe it's time to stop putting the trajectory of you and your familys future in the hands of someone else, and take control.

Something SO GOOD is within reach, if you just have the courage to reach out and grab it!

You can change your life, you just have to take that first, scary step....the first is always the hardest.

You can do it. if I can, you can too.

If you are searching for a Side hustle or that Plan B, or want to eventually replace your income, this is the opportunity you need to look in to. [and you can do this part time while working, or devote more time to it. ]

When I started my business 5 years ago, I fit it into the pockets of my time, around my kids bedtimes, days off, nights when I couldn't sleep etc...

I'm now RETIRED from retail!! Woohoo!!!!

I just want everyone to know YOU have options! This is a legit business, so there is some level of investment to start, but there are a few different ways to start. [I believe there is something to fit every budget]

Can't wait to connect, and help you change your life!
