Last week I put out a tweet about my employee ID from Morgan Stanley. This post got 900,000 impressions and so I want to give you the full story behind it. There was actually nothing comfortable about this job. My first boss treated me like shit. The job required deep mathematical and analytical skills. It wasn't operating within my zone of genius. If I had stayed comfortable at Morgan Stanley I wouldn't have been sharing my story with you right now.
Episode 53: Alex Lieberman (@businessbarista) talks about being uncomfortable with being comfortable. Yup, that’s right. Sometimes being too comfortable can mean being complacent. Taking risks and stepping outside of your comfort zone can be scary but calculated discomfort can turn into fruitful opportunities and areas of growth. Founders, it’s time you seek measured discomfort.
