EP346: Raymond Aaron - Beyond Fear & Doubt

"You never know how far you can go, until you risk going too far." - T.S. Elliot   Comfort has its place in our lives but it's best if you take it as it comes, rather than get carried away in the pursuit of it. Stepping out of your comfort zone and committing to hard work is what brings results and comfort is the least of the rewards. You need courage and willpower and when you're truly stepping out of your comfort zone you need a coach to help you break through your fears, doubts and other psychological barriers.   Raymond Aaron has taken on many challenges in his life and proven these secrets to himself several times over. But perhaps the biggest challenge he's ever faced was the death defying foot race from Resolute Bay, Nunavut to the North Pole. From the two years of training before the race (with physical trainer Nicky Billou!), to facing the extremes of the arctic for one month, Raymond discovered that he sets his own limits and that great power comes when you believe in the version of yourself beyond fear and doubt. The physical gives way to the spiritual, and magic starts to happen.   Expert action steps:   Start by taking yourself out of your comfort zone just a little by changing your routine in some small. Read the book that Raymond and Nicky will be co-authoring. Get out of your ego's comfort zone by doing the first thing that comes to your mind. Something that you know you should do but scares you. Like apologizing to someone you've hurt, or taking yourself more seriously.     Raymond applies these same philosophies to business and has achieved great success. He is a top international speaker and author and offers many teaching and coaching programs.
