This is Anne with your Coaching On The Go.

Oh, boy.

There is nothing more outside of the comfort zone that I’ve experienced in life than leaving the safety of somebody else’s business where you got a generated automatic income or even a business you created that you don’t like, that you’re tired of, and stepping out into new territory.

That is leaving your comfort zone.

Think about something you’ve done in your life where you have left your comfort zone.

You can relate.

Everybody can relate to this.

Having your own business, creating it from scratch, making the decisions that you make, and if you’re running your own business, if you’re a solopreneur, often you don’t have anybody to bounce off of.

You don’t even have a partner.

That’s why it’s so smart for you to be in the coaching.

And if you’re not in the coaching, find out how to get in the coaching.

Get the coaching that you need to keep you in accountable to keep the tension.

I describe it like this to my clients and potential clients, and this is how I’ve experienced it.

Take a piece of dental floss.

If you don’t have the tension on the floss, you can’t do anything with it.

If it’s too gappy, you can’t do anything with it.

Imagine a tightrope that is too gapped, and it’s just dangerous.

Imagine,here’s another example.

If you’re not pulling on something enough, it’s gapped.

If you’re pulling at it just enough, there’s tension there.

There’s a beautiful balance of tension.

If you’re pulling too much, you can break it.

It’s really important in momentum to keep the tension on what you’re doing.

It keeps you moving forward.

Coaching, getting coaching, having accountability, having support, having partnership.

It supports you when you have to step outside of your comfort zone.

I have a brother who’s very entrepreneurial.

He never plans on retiring.

I’m the same way.

What a gift.

Years ago, I wasn’t confident in stepping into my entrepreneurship, and I didn’t have the relationship that I have now with him, but we have these commonalities we don’t have a similar business, but we’re taking these risks and we’re supporting one another.

I have two or three different accountability partners around the world that I talk with in different ways.

We support each other in stepping out.

We bounce ideas off of each other.

We know that those ideas are not going to be rejected or judged (yesterday I talked about criticism and rejection).

Because we are building in similar ways we know the kind of support we’re going to get.

We’re not going to get pity.

We’re not going to get coddled.

We’re not going to get a warm blanket.

We’re going to get this cheerleader.

We’re going to get this person who’s strong and who can also and will also tell us the thing that might be hard to hear as a great coach does.

Stepping outside of your comfort zone takes courage, and entrepreneurship requires it.

Taking an idea you’ve been dreaming of for a long, long time, which is another group of people that I coach in the creator’s workshop, taking an idea that’s been a dream and elevating that into becoming something, it’s stepping outside of your comfort zone.

I, at times, am scared every day.

I’m not scared every day consistently throughout the whole year, but when I’m building to the next level and creating my next thing, many days of the year, I have some level of discomfort and fear.

Whether it’s picking up the phone and calling someone that I know is the next step for me or making a new decision or laying out money or hearing a new idea that is working powerfully that I’ve never done before, like tonight, I’m at a business mastermind, and they talked about buying multiple companies without your own money and they said, it’s easy, that opens the top of my head, and it blows my mind.

So what are you open to?

I always ask you this!

What are you willing to let go of to open to the next thing?

Have a beautiful day.

Bye.
