This is a post in drafts from 2012 that was apparently a response to a 2010 Get Rich Slowly post that no longer exists entitled, "Break out of your comfort zone to achieve success." I think it's still true and I might as well post it as is! Plus I guess a lot less seems scary at middle age that might have felt more uncomfortable as a young adult?
I've been out of my comfort zone before and I've examined what other people do in my field to succeed (hint: perseverance and moxy are more important than talent).
Right now though I'm more interested in doing what I want than in getting ahead, but the advice in the post might have matched an earlier point in my career and will probably match a later point.
Getting out of your comfort zone can be time consuming and tiring… there's something to be said for slow and steady comfortable progress too. Moderation in all things (including moderation).
Are you currently working on getting out of your comfort zone or are you more into staying comfortable right now?
