Episode notes

Do you seek out discomfort? Or are you perfectly fine playing it safe and not taking risks or doing anything remotely uncomfortable?

How you do one thing is how you do everything. Most people prefer to stay within their comfort zone because it’s familiar. This makes sense, right? Who the hell would purposely chase discomfort and unfamiliarity? Well, I’ll tell you who—successful people. People who are successful (or are on the path to success) have this in common. They aren’t afraid to take risks. They aren’t afraid to push themselves. They wake up earlier than everyone else. They show up, do the work, and don’t complain about it. They are this way in the gym. They are this way in their career or business life. And, if they were lucky enough in their childhood, this was taught to them by their parents so that it felt natural to them well into adulthood.

The problem is, most people are not this way. And for most people, that’s okay! I’m not saying these are necessary qualities for every human to have. But if you desire something bigger, something better, something more meaningful in any area of your life, you need to learn the skill of chasing discomfort and pushing yourself outside your comfort zone consistently so that you can make it happen.

Nobody is coming to save you. Build what you want yourself — whether that’s your body, business, family, or literally anything else.

In this episode, you’ll hear not only how I learned this valuable lesson myself but how I was able to instill it into my 4 children.

Everything you want is on the other side of discomfort. Will you go there?
