Have you heard the advice, "Step out of your comfort zone?"
You may not realize it but there's a secret to this
advice. Just stepping out of your comfort zone is not
enough. We can all give examples where we've been in
uncomfortable situations and then have been quite happy
going back to our comfort zones. But these situations
didn't have a significant impact on our wealth. It
encompasses more than simply stepping out of your comfort
zone; you need to step into the barrier zone to make money
and increase your wealth.
The Barrier Zone is where you put all the things that are
BOTH uncomfortable to you AND that hold you back. That's
The Barrier Zone. Items that are in The Barrier Zone can
be there for a number of reasons: you might not know how to
do something; you might have been told that you're not good
at it; or you might think you need more experience or
knowledge. A few examples that might fall into each of the
three zones are listed below.
Items within The Comfort Zone might have the following in
it: My home, my spouse, my normal routine, my job, and my
friends.
Outside The Comfort Zone may have: Meeting someone new,
going to a new place, not a normal routine, starting a new
job, and learning a new skill.
Examples of items found in The Barrier Zone could be
investing in the stock market, buying my first house, and
starting my own business.
What's in your Barrier Zone? First, take the time to list
1-3 items that you really wish you could accomplish or know
you should achieve to make money and become wealthy. Next,
take one of the items and talk with a friend or spouse and
ask them how you could complete it successfully? This will
provide you with a new prospective, impart support, and add
momentum to completing this task. Next, identify the first
step you need to do for that item to get done. Sign up for
that class! Make that phone call! Talk with an expert!
Don't worry about the other steps right now, those will
come later. Commit to following through on just that one
step because that very first step is the hardest. Lastly,
share with your friend or spouse success and your progress
in becoming wealthy. Celebrating your success with others
will keep you energized and motivated.
It's an amazingly liberating experience when you
successfully conquer and accomplish one of the items from
your Barrier Zone to move your money making abilities
forward. You'll feel GREAT! You'll wonder why you didn't
attempt it sooner. You'll also look forward to undertaking
the next thing on your Barrier Zone list.
