“In order to grow and challenge yourself with everything around you, it’s important to get out of your comfort zone. There are many reasons as to why this is important. The first one is simply because you should do it to make yourself better and understand there’s more out there if you’re willing to try,” says managing director of CapreLife Global. According to a recent article on Forbes, the writer Jacob Morgan, discusses the importance of following steps to get out of your comfort zone. His article, “Why Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone Is The Best Thing You Can Do For Your Career” starts out by talking about what he did and how he came to a realization that this is the best thing to do. Morgan writes, “I firmly believe that getting out of my comfort zone was one of the most important things I have done for my career, but it took me a long time to realize that. I’m hoping that what I share below will inspire you to get out of your comfort zone, regardless of whether you are a senior executive or a junior level worker. For someone who is self-employed, this is crucial.”
“We love how Morgan is openly sharing his experience of getting out of his comfort zone. He mentions in an interview he did about his work and how that challenged him to reach out of his comfort zone,” says CEO of CapreLife Global. Morgan says, “I finally started to do both of these things. I really got inspired by the work that Jay Baer was and is doing with his blog, video series, and podcast (among other things). The guy is an absolute content machine and is always trying to find innovative ways to share his ideas. So, I decided to try some new things myself, hence the launch of The Future of Work Podcast and The Future in 5 (video series) both of which get shared here on this blog. I remember when I first start speaking in front of large groups of people how strange and awkward that felt, but I had to force myself to do it because it’s an important way to spread ideas and build a brand.”
At CapreLife Global, we believe that getting out of your comfort zone provides you with new and exciting opportunities. These opportunities will either show you what you want or show you what you don’t. Morgan puts this perfectly, “You will find that the more you get out of your comfort zone, the more opportunities you will find in your professional and personal life. It’s no secret that the world of work is changing that employees and organizations who cling to the status quo (aka comfort) are going to be the first ones to become obsolete.”
