TO GROW - GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!


Hip hop superstar 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) is having a majority of his tattoos removed in an attempt to help land more movie roles and give off a more professional appearance. 

He is making a distinct change to his image to achieve an even higher level of success.  He is reinventing himself, which in my opinion, is a brilliant move on his part.  He has conquered the music industry (sold millions of albums).  He has conquered the business world (sold his stock in Vitamin Water for $400+ million).  Now he is going to conquer Hollywood!

One of the most significant ingredients to success is your ability to be comfortable being uncomfortable.

Your comfort zone is your enemy.  It makes you soft.  It leads to complacency.

You have to constantly and consistently step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself.  There is no reward for always playing it safe.  The player who can push themselves further once the situation gets uncomfortable is the one who will win.
