Just doing my job...how many times have we heard people say this.....sometimes it's underplaying what they have done, sometimes it's an excuse.......


Gayla Benfield was just doing her job...but she achieved something extraordinary ....she was curious, persistent and incredibly resilient.....check out her story on the link below....

Your comfort zone?! What is it, where is it, who cares? 

What is your comfort zone?  It's where and how you feel secure, comfortable and in control.

And.............why would you want to move out of it? Because my friend we are always in flux even though a lot of the time we don't realise it....
 of course we like what's comfortable and feels natural but we also dream, want and desire and if we are lucky we stay curious and stretch ourselves - that's cool for you and it's especially cool for your work and your business.....

Curiosity didn't kill the cat....cat's have nine lives duh!


So....be aware of your comfort zone...
Nurture your curiosity...............

Do something each week that excites you or that kinda scares you....surprise yourself .....that's how you feel alive rather than surviving and doing the same old same old.........  

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.   Most people don't want to go to the end....but maybe dip your toe in the water! 
 Blend things on your landscape and see how your horizon changes.....
