Remastered Series Episode 34: What's holding you back? Comfort
Sat Sep 06 2025
In this remastered episode, I explore a risk most people don’t notice: the risk of being too comfortable. Comfort isn’t bad. It feels good and gives us a sense of stability, but it can easily lead to laziness and complacency. I discuss how being too comfortable in your career, business, or personal life can prevent growth and leave you unprepared for sudden changes.
I share personal stories, including my experience in volunteer work and running my business during challenging times like COVID-19. I talk about how hardship can push you to innovate and grow, why planning for the unexpected is crucial, and simple ways to step out of your comfort zone to stay productive, creative, and moving forward.🎙 Thank You for Being Part of the Journey!
