How to Get Out of Your Comfort Zone (Without Crashing and Burning)
Most people think getting out of your comfort zone means going all in, pushing hard, grinding until something gives.
But what if that’s exactly why most people fail?
I’ve seen it in my students. I’ve seen it in myself. And today, I want to share something deeper—something that might just change the way you approach your goals, your income, and your life.
Getting Uncomfortable… the Right Way
You’ve heard it a thousand times:
“Growth happens outside of your comfort zone.”
But here’s what nobody tells you:
If you push too hard, too fast—you break.
And when you break, you quit.
That’s not growth. That’s burnout.
My Story: From Injury to Insight
Eight years ago, I wrote a marathon goal on my list.
I was 40 years old. Today, I’m 48—and I still haven’t run that marathon.
Why? Because I kept pushing too hard.
I’d train too aggressively. I tore ligaments, strained my Achilles, wrecked my knees. I got out of my comfort zone, alright… straight into injury.
But I didn’t give up. I kept coming back—because I knew my why.
Eventually, I got smart: I stopped sprinting toward my goals and started jogging.
Literally.
Now, I train with an app that tells me to slow down, stay relaxed, and finish what I start. And guess what? It’s working.
The Same Lesson Applies to Trading
I see it all the time in new traders.
They rush into five trades a week. They try to double their account in a month. They skip the fundamentals and chase quick wins. And they end up frustrated, broke, or burnt out.
Sound familiar?
I teach a system that only takes one hour per week.
One of our best-performing strategies—the Profit Stacking Blueprint—requires just 15 minutes a week. And we’ve won 16 trades in a row with it.
Still, people try to overdo it. They think faster is better.
But in trading (and in life), slower is safer—and more sustainable.
Know Your Why
If you're going to stay consistent, especially when it's uncomfortable, you need to know your why.
Your why is your anchor when things get hard. It keeps you from quitting when results are slow.
Here’s mine:
I’m here to serve God. To serve my family. To help people build a better life. And part of that mission is helping people replace their income with options—without needing to trade full time or gamble everything they’ve worked for.
That’s what keeps me going when life hits hard.
And trust me—life will hit hard.
In just the last year, I lost my dad. My wife lost her dad.
We had serious family and business struggles.
But I didn’t stop.
And neither should you.
Don’t Rush the Journey
Here’s the truth:
You don’t need to go fast.
You need to keep going.
Speed causes mistakes. Mistakes lead to bigger losses.
And when the pain gets too high, people quit.
But when you go slow, when you learn at your pace and apply what you’ve learned with discipline, you build momentum you can sustain.
That’s the key. Replace your income slowly, methodically—and for good.
Action Steps
Here’s how to make this real in your life:
✅ Step 1: Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
Don’t fear discomfort—but manage it. Learn to grow without breaking.
✅ Step 2: Write Down Your Goals
Less than 3% of people do this. Be one of them.
✅ Step 3: Know Your Why
Keep asking yourself “why” until you hit something real. Then write it down.
✅ Step 4: Go Slow to Go Far
Stop trying to skip the steps. Commit to consistency instead.
✅ Step 5: Carve Out Just One Hour a Week
That’s all it takes to follow the Freedom Income system. One hour. No more excuses.
