We all have fears that stop us from stepping into our true potential. It’s what we’ve come to call the comfort zone - the place where fear is minimized to allow for daily life functioning. But we don’t always realize just how much we give up for the sake of that comfort.
In an effort to minimize our greatest fears we can be sacrificing our heart’s deepest desires. In the name of comfort, we sacrifice potential.
So, how do we move through our terrifying fears to break free of limitations and embrace our true potential?
I consistently hear my business owner clients say things like, I have call reluctance and just can’t call anyone, I can’t ask for referrals, If I get one referral that would be amazing, I’m not good at _____, I can’t do ____, I don’t do ____ very well, and the list goes on and on.
When you say words about what you aren’t good at or what you don’t want, you are reinforcing this and getting those outcomes (most likely). It is like the definition of insanity – you are saying the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result – and that just isn’t going to happen.
When you say you can do something, and focus on what you want to happen, it has a much higher probability that you will manifest those outcomes in your life.
Let’s explore 3 tips that can help you master life outside your comfort zone.
The problem here is that most of the time you don’t even know about the limiting beliefs you have. The key is to find a way to change our mindset, so you can figure out a way to identify the limiting beliefs.

(upbeat music) - Hello and welcome to the Accountability Coach podcast. I am thrilled to have you on board with me today. We are diving into the world of proven business success principles that are really all about helping you make more money and work less. I'm on a mission to guide you towards your ideal business and your ideal life. So let's turn your goals into reality and back rack here. Today we're talking about three tips for mastering life outside your comfort zone. You know, we all have fears that stop us from stepping into our true potential. It's what we've come to call the comfort zone. You know, the place where fear is minimized to allow for daily life functioning, but we don't always realize just how much we give up for the sake of that comfort. So in an effort to minimize our greatest fears, we can be sacrificing our heart's deepest desires in the name of comfort, we sacrifice potential. You know, this reminds me of a quote by Tony Robbins where he says, and I'm paraphrasing here, the dance of life happens between our greatest fears and our greatest potential, which translates into life happens outside your comfort zone. Sounds good in theory, right? So how do we move through our terrifying fears to break free of limitations and embrace our true potential? You know, I consistently hear my business owner client saying things like, I have call reluctance and just can't call anyone. I can't ask for referrals. If I just get one referral, that would be amazing. You know, I'm not good at blank. I can't do blank. I don't do blank very well. And the list goes on and on. When you say words about what you aren't good at or you don't want, you are reinforcing this and getting those outcomes most likely. So it's like the definition of insanity. You're saying the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result and that just isn't going to happen. When you say you can do something and focus on what you want to have happen, it has a much higher probability that you will manifest those outcomes in your life. So let's explore three tips that can help you master life outside your comfort zone. Tip number one, every person experiences the same human struggle. With every person born, there is a basic human struggle between ego and potential. The ego operates much like a computer operating system. You know, it has a set of rules and programs that is the basis of its function. That's great. If it's operating from an effective set of rules and programs, but it doesn't always do so. It's no secret that we are a product of our environment. The beliefs we are exposed to as children often set the tone of a lifetime of experiences. So in other words, the operating system, most of us are functioning from, was created long before we had conscious choice to reject the limiting beliefs that came from other people. So that's the kicker. Most people don't even realize their limiting beliefs aren't theirs. The struggle comes in when we're operating on limiting beliefs that tell us one thing. When we crave another, we crave individual expression and expansion. Yet our operating system tells us it's dangerous or will fail or will face rejection or criticism. We crave something better, but the fears that make up the boundaries of our comfort zone stop us from going for it. Now, I believe this is the struggle that every single human faces to some degree or another. We all have fears. Yet, only the ones who have achieved great things have decided that their potential, in other words, life outside the comfort zone, was more important than listening to the fears, in other words, life inside the comfort zone. Tony Robbins also said, "Let fear be a counselor, not a jailer." Tip number two. To change the results, you must change the actions. If you're not operating from possibilities, you're operating from limitations. There is no in-between. If the results you're currently seeing are not pleasing or satisfying, then you must change the actions to bring about different results. This often means that you must begin making choices from outside your comfort zone. Think of it this way. Everything you have already experienced, and may not like, is the result of making decisions from inside your comfort zone. You've been there, you've done that, and the results have been disappointing. To create different results, you must do something different. Remember, the comfort zone is based on limited beliefs. To create a different experience, you must take action from different beliefs. The beliefs that exist outside your comfort zone. Tony Robbins has another quote. He said, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." Tip number three. It's about learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Now you may have heard me say this before. Successful business owners are comfortable with being uncomfortable all the time. That's how they got to be successful, and you can also learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable so you can have your ideal business and your ideal life. So let's go back to expanding on the struggle that every human being experiences. It's the struggle between ego and potential. The ego only wants to have experiences that it knows how to deal with because its main concern is to keep you safe, healthy, and whole. Your true potential, which is limitless, is the contrast of the ego. Anyone who has ever accomplished anything great has done so with risk. Not necessarily physical or emotional danger, but at risk as far as the ego is concerned. You see, the ego doesn't know how to deal with new situations based on new beliefs. It only knows how to handle situations it's experienced. The process of doing something you haven't done before is the great risk because you are stepping out of your comfort zone and stepping into your true potential. If it feels a lot like stepping out into mid-air, it's because it is. You are literally stepping into new territory. To create different results, you must step out of your comfort zone so you're taking action from a different set of beliefs. Stagnation is comfortable. Growth is uncomfortable. All that you are and have experienced is the result of beliefs that you've built from your comfort zone. Mastering your life and fulfilling your true potential comes down to how willing you are to get uncomfortable. You can learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable so you can enjoy creating and having your ideal business and your ideal life. Just make that decision today and begin. Brian Tracey said, "Move out of your comfort zone." You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new. The problem here is that most of the time we don't even know about the limiting beliefs that we have. The key is to find a way to change your mindset so you can figure out a way to identify the limiting beliefs. Download my guidebook, How to Change Limiting Beliefs we don't know we have by going to bit.ly that's bit.ly/unawareofbeliefs. That's all three words that are strung together. Unaware of beliefs. 80% of success is mindset and 20% is strategy. And 95% of our thoughts are the same each day. And on an average, 80% of our thoughts are negative.
