The Positive Outlook: Breaking Out of The Comfort Zone 3
Getting out of your comfort zone means the abandonment of your inhibitions, whether for the good or for the bad (well, mostly the bad ones anyway. Many an entrepreneur have lost their ways in their quest for progress). Open-mindedness, in effect, is applied in the highest degree, and maximum tolerance for error and allowance is also applied. The market, if considered a living thing, is very, very touchy subject.
There are a lot of new things to consider when trying to broach on the subject of pioneering development and change for the better. Sometimes change can be subjectively good but oftentimes it leads to despair and failure in the company’s part. And the last one that gets hit by the fatal blow often ends up being the investor or the entrepreneur himself. Fail safes are opted in this case, and most wise entrepreneurs invest in one.
Courage is needed to effect change, but it is foolish to go charging into unknown territory without preparation, tools and back up. Be ready to accept new ideas, but be ready to peruse them, criticize and even reject them. Often times, you also musn’t stay on just one zone, you have to expand readily and wisely. It is all a matter of risk-taking, wise decisions and no rash decisions in the part of the people that make the difference within the business.
But when to fly away from your comfort zone? There’s much debate on this, as to when is enough, enough? My take on this is that when you feel comfortable in your place, that would be the time for you to move on.
Getting too attached to one zone would make it harder for you to leave it in conquest of power and progress. When you feel that you’ve grown too attached, it’s time to take the bags, hike the road to another new area.
