The ONE question to ask when stuck in a Comfort Zone

Last week I had a conversation with a guy who had been working in Marketing for the same company for 5 years. 

It was the first job he had after finishing university.

For the first few years it was great.

But for the last 2 years he’d been stuck in a Comfort Zone.

He told me that he knows he is stuck in a Comfort Zone and that he desperately wants to move to a new company…but he is scared. 

Stuck-in-one-place, petrified-to-move-forward kinda scared.

Here is what he is scared of:

🔅 Getting to know new colleagues

🔅 Learning new processes

🔅 Learning how to market a new brand

🔅 Having to build a new internal network

🔅 Not liking his new job as much as his old one

After giving me his ‘scared of’ list, I asked him the ONE thing you should always ask yourself when stuck in a Comfort Zone…

.. Do you think these things will be MORE or LESS scary if you stay at your current company for another 5 years? 🤔

Of course the answer is, it only gets harder the longer you stay in your Comfort Zone.

Fear doesn’t go away because we choose not to face it.

The only way to make your fear go away is to face it head on and realise it is never as scary as it seems.

Don’t let fear how you back. Face it head on.

It will completely change your life.
