Network Marketers, Success and their Comfort Zone

Thursday, October 30, 2008



The very fact that a person is looking to start a home based business opportunity often means thinking outside the box and will also involve stepping out a their comfort zone. The traditional method passed down by our parents of working for an employer and retiring after a life of hard honest and loyal labour is long gone. Companies are downsizing, are focused on bottom lines and leave employees on their appetite when it comes to compensation and work environment satisfaction.

So the work force looks for a second or third job to meet the financial needs and then realize that it doesn't make sense to be in this predicament and something needs to change otherwise they will work 3 jobs until they reach retiring age.

So that means looking for other alternatives. Become a home based business opportunity entrepreneur, Network Marketer, be in Direct Sales etc. Many businesses are actually turning their entire sales strategy to Network Marketing and therefore it only makes sense that employees would also look to change the way they look at work and careers strategies.

The wave is definitely strongly present but still in its infancy and therefore the mentality is not yet established so people feel uncomfortable at leaving the perceived "security" of working for an employer rather than branching out into entrepreneurialism, yet that's where fortunes are made.

The thought of stepping out of the employee comfort zone gives of course a feeling of discomfort but have you ever asked yourself why you're having this feeling and what pushes you to even look to step out of the comfort zone?

If we always stayed in our comfort zone, life would become stale, no progress would happen and no improvement could take place. Entire books are explaining the subject of comfort zones so I could expand as I do with my team but suffice to say that stepping out of the comfort zone is natural and when perceived differently, it becomes a situation that you welcome. We are constantly evolving which means we constantly change and stepping out of the comfort zone is all about change.

Network Marketers and home based business owners are by definition people that have already stepped out of their comfort zone and the ones that succeed are the ones that constantly keep stepping out of their comfort zone. Because if they don't, they stop evolving and therefore their business stops growing.

Always pushing those boundaries means constant evolution, change and growth. When you grow, your success grows with you.

So when you take the next step, which direction will you take? Will you step outside your comfort zone?
