Ways to Push Yourself Out of Your Comfort Zones to Achieve Prosperity

We are all going to come up against things that we are scared of in life. This is normal. Fear is healthy it is designed to protect us from harm, but it works to hard and overprotects us sometimes. You have to learn to look fear in the face and decide to not let it stop you, you must do what scares you. A way to make it easier is to not judge the outcomes of choosing this, but to just measure your actions to overcoming your fear. It also helps to have an accountability partner supporting and challenging you, and when you report your progress publicly you will be even more motivated to succeed.

Do what Scares you

This is where you have to begin. You have to identify something that scares you and chose to face it and overcome the fear. Fear is there to protect us, but unfortunately it is there to protect us from more than just harm it is also protecting us from growth and expansion. To truly achieve abundance and prosperity you have to grow yourself to make room to receive all of the new goodness coming your way. The journey towards this growth and expansion can be uncomfortable but it is well worth it.

Measure Action not Results

A large part of fear can often be associated around fear of failure at the new task which is why we do not measure the results of our actions, we measure if we took the action at all. We do not actually have control over results, no matter what we do, but we do have control over the actions we choose to take. So measure by what you control, your level of action you decide to take to overcome your fear. When you can learn to asses your progress this way you learn to take more risks because there is less to fear because you can no longer be scared of failure, except the failure to act.

Have an Accountability Partner

One of the great lessons I have learned about success in any area is that we cannot achieve success going it alone. We need to have support in all things we do, and this is especially true in the case of doing what scares us. It is easy to back out of taking the needed scary action when there is no one there to support you or push you. So find an accountability part, someone you trust and know cares deeply for you. They will know if you challenge is dangerous and tell you, but will also know when you are not pushing yourself hard enough and will make sure you get out of your comfort zone so you can grow.

Report publicly

One last way to helping to ensure you push yourself to do what scares you is to report on your intention and your action publicly. When we are scared it can be easy to hide to avoid confronting the fear. When you start to share publicly you can no longer hide and one of two results will occur. You will face and overcome your fear and get the admiration and support of the public community, or you will have to explain publicly why you didn't. For many the fear of explaining why you didn't take the action becomes greater than the actual action itself helping them to take that step.

Create your own money breakthrough

These days everyone is talking about it…there’s not enough of it…we want to have more of it… how do I create more of it?

What’s the hot topic? MONEY.

Would you like to increase your earning potential?

Here are 3 keys to tackle under-earning,weather the economic financial tides and create more personal income:

1. Ramp up your “prosperity” frequency - Careful, your attitude is showing. If you are feeling scared, desperate and fearful about your own money situation, your prospects and clients are going to feel it even if you are saying all the right words. Our inner beliefs and fears( often unconscious)about money drive the results that we get.

Solution? Be brutally honest with yourself. Shine a light on your self sabotage when it comes to money. Do you overspend and buy things you don’t need to feel better emotionally? Do you put your head in the sand, claiming’ I’m just not much of a “numbers person”. Many of us have crippling money beliefs that are undermine our efforts ( especially true for the uber-creatives, such as actors, writers, artists) ever heard: I am a starving artist” or Writers don’t make “real” money.”?

To get to the root of your own limiting beliefs,self sabotage, and money fears, I highly recommend Barbara Stanny’s book, “Overcoming Under-earning”.

Bottom line, do what you need to let go of the shackles of earning less than you deserve.

2. Take Consistent Action - Visualization is an important key to success AND so is taking action. This is not a time for wishful thinking. The playing field has indeed changed and the aftermath of all the financial shifts have caused some folks to get derailed. Now more than ever as biz owners, we need to have an effective plan of action and the willingness to do what needs to be done.

Solution? Take inspired action. Be bolder. Be persistent and consistent. Take action everyday. If you are networking in person, be intentional, wear a smile, and bring order forms. If you have an appointment with a prospective client, show up on time, give great value and be sure to follow up!

This is not the time for doing the bare minimum.

3. Upgrade your deliverables - Are your programs and products the same as last year? Is your marketing plan pretty much the same as last month, and the month before? It’s a buyers market and consumers are carefully evaluating and looking for great value.

Solution? This is the perfect time to give your products and programs a make-over face lift.

Give your very best. Create raving fans and smile all the way to the bank.

That’s it, follow these 3 guidelines and create your own money breakthroughs.

“If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astonish ourselves.” Thomas Edison
