THE COMFORT ZONE

WHAT IS THE COMFORT ZONE OR RATHER WHAT IS MY COMFORT ZONE

DEFINITIONS THE COMFORT ZONE IS A BEHAVIORAL MINDSET OR SPACE WHERE YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES, INTERACTIONS OR RELATIONSHIPS, AND DEVELOPMENTAL IDEAS FIT INTO A ROUTINE AND PATTERN.

A ROUTINE IS SOMETHING YOU DO IN THE SAME WAY EVERYDAY!!! — YOU DO THE SAME THINGS EVERYDAY — YOU TALK WITH SAME PEOPLE EVERYDAY — YOU DISCUSS SAME ISSUES EVERYDAY — YOU VISIT SAME PLACES EVERYDAY — YOU COOK & EAT SAME FOOD EVERYDAY — YOU PLAY SAME GAMES — YOU USE SAME SKILLS SETS — YOU SING SAME SONGS, SPEAK SAME LANGUAGE, ETC.

ROUTINES CAN BE BORING!!! LIFE IS SPICIER WHEN YOU TRY NEW THINGS!!!

DEFINITIONS THE COMFORT ZONE CAN ALSO MEAN THAT PERIOD WHEN YOU BECOME SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED IN LIFE. SEE LUKE 12: 16-20

DEFINITIONS Luke 12:16-20New International Version (NIV) — 16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ — 18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ — 20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

POINTS TO NOTE FROM ABOVE DEFINITION — THE COMFORT ZONE IS A SPACE OF ROUTINE — THE COMFORT ZONE IS A SPACE WITH BOUNDARIES OR LIMITS — YOU CAN BE SO FAMILIAR WITH YOUR ROUTINES AND YOUR BOUNDARIES BECOMES THICKER TO BREAK. (YOU HEAR PEOPLE SAY, ‘I LOVE MY SPACE’).

FAMILIAR QUOTE ‘IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER HAD, THEN YOU’VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER DONE’. THIS REQUIRES A STRONG DETERMINATION OR PERSURATION — DETERMINATION DEVELOPS YOUR CHARATER FOR SUCCESS. — DETERMINATION WOULD KEEP IN YOU, THE ‘I CAN DO IT ATTITUDE’.

DANIEL DETERMINED IN HIS HEART TO ‘DO SOMETHING NEW AND HE GOT SOMETHING HE NEVER HAD’. DANIEL BROKE OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE OF ROUTINES.

ZONES OF A PROGRESSIVE LIFE THERE ARE THREE MAJOR ZONES OF A PROGRESSIVE LIFE THAT WE NEED TO MASTER AND ALSO KNOW WHAT CHARACTERIZES THEM. 1. THE COMFORT ZONE 2. THE LEARNING ZONE 3. THE PRODUCTIVE ZONE

THE COMFORT ZONE: — RISK FREE — MEDIOCRITY — FEAR — PLAY IT SAFE — JUST BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE — JUST DO SIMPLE THINGS 70% OF PEOPLE LIVE IN THIS ZONE

THE LEARNING ZONE: — LEARNING TO DREAM — LEARNING TO PURSUE YOUR DREAMS — LEARNING TO FACE YOUR FEARS AND DEVELOP COURAGE — LEARNING TO EXPLORE NEW AND DIFFICULT THINGS — LEARNING TO DO THINGS YOU ARE AFRAID OF DOING — LEARNING TO EXPLORE NEW OPPORTUNITIES — LEARNING TO LIVE LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS 20% OF PEOPLE LIVE IN THIS ZONE

THE PRODUCTIVE ZONE: — FULFILLING YOUR DREAMS — TURNING YOUR FUN INTO A FARE OR FEE — MASTERING AND MAXIMIZING NEW OPPORTUNITIES — BECOMING A SERIAL-ENTREPRENUER — MAKING IMPACT IN PEOPLE’S LIVES. 10% OF PEOPLE LIVE IN THIS ZONE

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE DETERMINED AND READY TO STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE? 1. YOU BECOME MORE PRODUCTIVE Comfort is the greatest killer of productivity. Comfort makes you settle for the minimum standard and tells you to pursue that. Unless you have this sense of uneasiness, you will never bother about deadlines of expectations and you loose that drive and passion to do new things. 2. YOU WILL LEARN NEW THINGS FASTER A determined life seek to know new things - Inquisition 3. YOU WILL FIND IT EASIER TO DISCOVER YOUR CREATIVITY

HOW DO I BREAK OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE? — DO EVERYDAY THINGS DIFFERENTLY – DEVELOP PRODUCTIVITY — DO IT IN SMALL STEPS – PRACTICE THE ART OF FOLLOWING PROCEDURES — TRUST YOUSELF AND MAKE SMART AND SNAP DECISIONS – DON’T PROCRASTINATE IN EXERCISING WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNT.

THE IGWE TWINS TOBIAS & TITUS IGWE CEOs OF SPEEDMEAL CATERING LTD

CONSIDER THIS EXAMPLE!!! THE IGWE TWINS MOVED AWAY FROM THEIR COMFORT ZONE TO A PRODUCTIVE ZONE. - THEY CAME FROM A VERY HUMBLE BACKGROUND - THEY LOST THEIR FATHER IN 2009 - RESPONSIBILITY FELL ON THEM TO CATER FOR THEIR FAMILY – (MOTHER & SEVEN SIBLINGS) - THEY TOOK UP A JOB AS OFFICE ASSISTANTS AND OTHER STAFF WOULD ALWAYS SEND THEM TO GO BUY LUNCH FOR THEM.

CONSIDER THIS EXAMPLE!!! (AND THEN THE IDEA OF DOING SOMETHING NEW CAME TO THEM: A MOBILE FOOD DELIVERY SERVICES COMPANY.) IN 2010, THEY STARTED THE BUSINESS WITH N50,000 AND WITHIN A YEAR, THEY MADE OVER N3MILLION PROFIT. - TODAY SPEEDMEALS MOBILE KITCHEN IS WORTH MILLIONS IN MONETARY VALUE AND THESE TWO BROTHERS ARE ONE OF THE TOP TEN YOUNG MILLONAIRES IN NIGERIA.

DECLARE YOU TOO CAN DO IT STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE FIRST!!!
