Become the enemy of your comfort zones.

Acknowledge if the thought of something makes you uncomfortable, then think about how inconsequential the worst that could happen usually is, and with that as your reason for fighting the other fearful voice inside you, do something. Take step 1. Go to the networking event, create the first web site opener, send the first letter, make the first phone call, knock on the first door, seek out that person who has done it before you or who you just read an article about, whatever it is...

You can be proud you did no matter what the outcome and it will start helping you to get to a position where you can unleash your potential.

Success,
Erik

P.S. Yes, I know it's hard... but I also without a doubt believe it can lead you forward.
