124. The Comfort Zone Is KILLING Your Growth: Stop Making Excuses, Start Making Changes To FINALLY Grow Your Business

Change is hard, but the truth is—when you resist it, you’re making a choice.

An even harsher truth? Staying in your comfort zone is the reason your business isn’t growing. You’re stuck because you keep doing the same things, expecting different results. That’s the definition of insanity—and it’s killing your growth.

And keep in mind, "staying in your comfort zone" can manifest in ways you might not even realize. Micromanaging. Refusing to delegate. Needing total control. Waiting for perfection before taking action. Even creating chaos to sabotage your own progress. Believe it or not, you could be your own biggest obstacle.

Here’s the reality: Over 50% of businesses fail because they refuse to adapt, change, or face the hard truths about their strategies. Are you ready to stop blaming the market, the economy, or your competition? The real obstacle is you.

It’s time to ditch the excuses, make the changes, and start taking action. Growth isn’t easy, but neither is staying stagnant. If you’re serious about scaling your business, this is your wake-up call. Step out of the comfort zone. Embrace the chaos. Make bold moves. 

Growth doesn’t happen where it’s safe, it happens when you face the uncomfortable truth and take action.

In this episode of iDigress, we dive deep into the uncomfortable reality of why many entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives stay stuck. We’ll explore the powerful concept of "what you’re not changing, you’re choosing" and unpack how resistance to change often stems from fear, comfort, or denial.
