How To Make Yourself Uncomfortable!

*"When people get comfortable...Nothing changes!"*

Cool quote huh?  That's actually something my Dad said to me years ago.  He worked in the car industry for decades and one day, he no longer had a job.  He wasn't defeated by any means, he actually made the decision to go in business for himself after that.  In his words...He got comfortable with being uncomfortable!

So as entrepreneurs, something we should challenge ourselves to do, is to embrace being...*Uncomfortable.*

Amazing things happen when we embrace change and don't shy away from new things that might pop up...And there is something I have been doing for years that helps me when we're looking for change.

**Story time....**

We are always working on things.  I highlighted a few of the projects we've been working on the other day. But every now and again we have a project that needs to 'launch' or go live for those of us not in the affiliate marketing space.  The blessing and curse with being an entrepreneur is there is no 'boss' looking over your shoulder...

Which means, you have to kick your own butt to make things happen!

And to do that, I love to set myself a 'launch date'!

I cannot being to explain how much this has helped me in the years I've been in business for myself.  I have fallen victim to the 'busy syndrome' over the years, which means I'm always busy, but rarely accomplishing what I would like.  So to get myself out of that nasty habit, I set a date for a project and it makes me SUPER uncomfortable because...I know I have to get things done at that time!

Seems straight forward right?

**Mark down a date on your calendar.**

**Bust your butt and get everything done by that date.**

Like I mentioned, what I have noticed is a major change in my approach when I have a concrete date set in stone.  It literally helps me get off my butt, and get to work as if I had a mean ol' boss over my shoulder screaming at me to finish my work.

O.K. I've never had that but apparently it's not a nice experience :)

So I guess I should let the cat out of the bag right?

Our 'date' that we set in stone for *'Secret Project 3937393'* is **November 28th**.  Which gives our team over a month to finish up which we think will be one of the coolest projects we've ever been a part of!

**Get comfortable with being uncomfortable!**  

You know change is coming, so embrace it and do the things you need, to push yourself and your business forward.

It's time for me to get to work ;)
