Today, Rob shares with you 10 key lessons for overcoming the trap of laziness and comfort in easy-to-follow steps. If you struggle with motivation and find it hard to get out of your comfort zone and get things done, this episode is for you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Get accountability from external sources - Seek advice from mentors, coaches or friends to give you some cold hard truth. Look for peer groups and masterminds to give you accountability and to help you to achieve your goals. Find communities and seek advice and then you will get out of your comfort zone and move towards your goals and dreams.
- It’s not bad enough yet? - Sometimes you’re stuck in a limbo where you’re a situation that’s comfortable and enables you to be lazy. But here’s the thing humans are resourceful and incredible when their backs up against the wall and they need to produce results. Attempt to get that edge back, the edge that pushes you forward and helps you do amazing things. But don’t expect things to turn around right away change your mindset and see the compounding effects.
- If you don’t risk anything you risk everything - The enemy of success is risk and the enemy of greatness is comfort and laziness. You need to begin to take some risks and put yourself out there. Make yourself vulnerable and don’t be scared to become the student again.
- Create some fear - You cannot sit and wait and get comfortable waiting for tomorrow. You need to create some fear and accountability that scares you and forces you to take action. Give yourself an ultimatum and change your mindset.
- Try new stuff - Test and make mistakes, learn from what you do and become more experimental. Aim to test, review, tweak, repeat and scale. If you don’t see what’s out there you might not discover what’s out there and what you’re passionate about.
- Don’t get too uncomfortable - Aim to be progressively uncomfortable not aggressively uncomfortable. If you get too uncomfortable you could emotionally harm your future, the aim is to be uncomfortable so you force yourself to try new things. Try putting yourself in incremental steps of un-comfort to ease yourself out of your comfort zone and into new skills and expertise.
- Outsource - Aim to have a VA or a PA and outsource some work. Leverage the skills of others to get more done in less. Look for joint-ventures and partnerships to grow your business using the best people in the right places. You don’t always have to do everything yourself.
- Be honest with what you’re scared of - We’re all scared of something and that’s a big reason why we’re lazy, Whether it’s shame, ego, failure or other peoples judgement you need to overcome them, embrace them and realise that these emotions are simply human.
- Ask for help - Sometimes it’s as simple as asking someone to help. When you’re lazy and comfortable sometimes you just need a helping hand to get out of your situation and to push you onto a path towards your goals and dreams.
- Find the right routine - Create a new routine that is disciplined and makes you accountable. You need to isolate yourself from distractions, turn off social media and stick to a routine that helps you get 5-10 times more done in the same amount of time. Focus on the tasks you’re passionate about, your income generating tasks and look to outsource where you can.
