Are you comfortable?

If you aren't uncomfortable while learning a new skill or pushing the envelope of your business, then are you really moving forward? Are you going to reach your goals? Public speaking is something that I am mortified of doing. "But you've got 2 podcasts and have spoken at conferences and meetups?" Yup, but it still terrifies me. But I know that by putting myself in that position, I will grow. With the amazing feedback, I get from folks like yourself, what I talk about helps them and so why not do it. Hearing how others are reaching their goals in building their businesses in the way they want fuels my fire. If I can play a tiny part in helping them overcome some question, hurdle, struggle that's just a bonus. Anytime I've ever put myself in an uncomfortable position like that, I've come out on the other end in a much better place. I would encourage you to think about when the last time you felt a bit uncomfortable.
