Hey Dave and Dawn,

You are so right about getting “uncomfortable”. So many people sit in their “Circle of comfort-ability” too afraid to do anything different. Well we all know that if you continue to do the same things over and over expecting a different result, that is the true definition of insanity

In Success,

Hey there Dave and Dawn,

Thanks for the pinch!

Always balancing,

Rafel

Ok, so I feel uncomfortable and unsure and unsettled and inadequate and ineffective .. oh good grief, that's a lot I now have to turn around and just as the school holidays start here in England! Hmmm… think I may need to learn how to delegate first!!

All the best,
Joanna

I love what you wrote here. When I'm talking to our new distributors I tell them very upfront that I may not always tell you what you want to hear, but I will always tell you what you deserve to hear.

Well, you know how I feel about leaving your comfort zone – that's the time when you work through the fear, reach goals, and make discoveries you never would have imagined by staying in the “comfortable” rut.

It's interesting to read your story and how the change in your mindset eliminated those struggles in finding and managing a successful business. I've been in leadership roles in various companies and enjoy it: to share a direction, steps, and the interaction with others in working toward a goal. I am two weeks away from making a huge change in my life – a new direction professionally. I know I'll be visiting your blog more often to glean insight into successful entrepreneurship.

I'm grateful to have met you and Dawn and be a part of the Tribe.

A great post Dave. Leadership is a learned skill.You are correct about doing things that are uncomfortable and stepping outside the box. Using video is a great tool to get yourself out there. We both use video a lot and I believe that helps position yourself as a leader too.You can be heard and seen when you share the good information.Thanks for all your great leadership.

Dave, sometimes it just needs to be said – to give us a kick in the pants, wake us up, etc. I have been in business 20 years, and yet I still struggle with being a leader – it takes work and dedication. Now that I have been in Network Marketing for 4 years, I really realize to be successful you have to lead the way – this comfort zone you speak of…it's me on video I have to break down this barrier and step it up or pack it up and go home – thanks for making me realize what I need to do.

Hey Dave,

Great post my friend. We all need to hear it like it is from a great Leader who tells it like it is. That is you my friend. Thanks for your continued leadership as it has been an inspiration and motivation for myself to step out of my comfort zone and move forward towards my dreams.

Make it a great day!
God Bless,

You are on the money as usual my friend! I always find it interesting to see all of the self proclaimed Guru's out there, if you are not a “Duru” you are not benefiting anyone.

I appreciate you leadership and dedication to your TSA Group, you and Dawn are doing a wonderful job. You both are true leaders and you persistence inspires me each week.

Have a fantastic week my friend!

Joe

Hey Dave,

Great Post and Video as usual. It's ok to feel uncomfortable its almost that we have to get comfortable being uncomfortable if that makes any sense.

Thank you for your continued Leadership.

Beth

Great post, D&D! It's so easy to stay comfortable and then wonder why nothing is happening. Believing it will happen is not enough – action is necessary, and the more uncomfortable the more effective.

Be a person who tirelessly improves their character. By altering paradigms and reshaping your thoughts, you will notice your circumstance change accordingly.

You followers will do what you do: both good and bad… if they're not making phone calls, ask yourself if you're making enough… then resolve, “If it's to be, it's up to me”
if they're not posting on their blog, again… “If it's to be, it's up to me”
if they're not out there reaching for their success, “If it's to be, it's up to me”

And through this process, some of them will follow you, but more importantly, you will come into contact with the people you really want on your team.

Thanks for the great post, Dave/Dawn! Deadly content! (and your followers are doing the same!)

PREACH!!!!! I couldn't agree more! I'm a born leader. Anyone who follows me close enough knows “Grind Or Die!” is my motto and I live by it everyday. Things get tough at times but I always remember that there's a blessing in every struggle. I could be down & out, life knocking me on my back but quit just isn't in my vocabulary. So yes, i'm ALWAYS uncomfortable & I AM a Leader!

Hey Dave, great post. I am not sure I agree that you have to be uncomfortable to make changes. A good leader is constantly asking how things can be done better, regardless of the frame of mind. But your point is well taken, no change is no progress and no progress is going backwards.
Thanks for another thoughtful post from a true leader.

Dave,

Great post! Some people really have to be pushed to make changes. I was in an uncomfortable decision and had to make a change, it was the ONLY solution.

Thanks for the value!

Many years back, when I was in a very self-limiting state, I heard someone say to me ~ “if you are not constantly pushing on the edges of your comfort zone, it will shrink in around you until you cannot breathe.” And that was exactly how I felt! I have since made it a motto to spend time each day dancing at the edge of my comfort zone. And the resulting feelings are electric!

And yes, all leaders I know understand this principle, and with practice, you can take things on that previously would have been WAY out of your reach, and now feel entirely possible and accessible. Life is always an evolution of learning and expansion. Thanks for your leadership, Dave!

Dave,

We have heard somewhere that we should do something every day that scares us. To us that means, like you've said, stretching our comfort zone.

By stretching the “zone” in which we feel comfortable doing things, it can only lead to doing more and more and boldly (maybe sometimes warily) taking our lives to new heights.

“Feel the fear and do it anyways”…

Thanks,

Good points to bring up…it is the discomfort of new ways that some incredible growth/change can flow. Sometimes the mind goes into overdrive to keep us from feeling that discomfort…it is so genius.
