Are you fed up with working your current job, but too comfortable to take a leap into something different? Join Neil today as he explains how working absurdly hard on yourself and your business will allow you to create your own normal and live a life most people can’t. Today Neil outlines why being comfortable in life can make you weak, why taking each challenge thrown at you will allow you to grow and why others will envy your new life since you decided to get out of your comfort zone and do what they didn’t.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Beware of comfort. Comfort makes you soft, softness makes you weak, weakness makes you vulnerable and being vulnerable makes you a victim. Rather than maintaining a comfortable lifestyle, go for something that challenges you, because a challenge is an opportunity dressed in working clothes.

 

• If all you do is take these challenges and overcome them, you will have endless growth. When you leave your comfort zone, you will find out what you are made of. As a business person you have to be prepared to make unpopular decisions, when you begin to work absurdly hard on yourself you will begin to change.

 

• Calibrate your normal for what is going to get you where you want to go, and stick with it. Set yourself a normal level of income, for where you are now and then recalibrate it every so often, gradually moving the ratchet upwards and upwards as time goes on. Decide what is normal for you and then go and find yourself a convoy of like-minded people to involve yourself with.

 

• Day by day as you exert control over how life goes for you and you begin to work harder and harder you will begin to disregard the negativity. Throughout the time you will grow to trust yourself and develop and learn new things daily. What you have now become will allow you to help people and add something to the world.

 

• When you work absurdly hard, you can wind up doing exactly what you want to do each and every day and get very well paid for it. Working hard allows you to build and grow a business and a legacy which will allow you to help a ton of people in achieving what they want in life. You will look at others and see that you can do what they can’t because you did what they wouldn’t.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“Make sure the money isn’t driving you. Make sure it is just a byproduct of being successful” 

“If you never tested to see what you are capable of, how would you ever find out?”

“Why try to fit in, when you were born to stand out.”
