Most of the people around you, myself included, are accustomed to living and working in an area that is comfortable for them. Moreover, many consider this comfort to be almost happiness. But if for some reason you wanted to achieve something, you urgently need to knock yourself out of this zone. How? Let's read Paul Sloan's post.

In fact, everything is not as scary as it seems, often a trifle is enough to make you want to do something new, to move forward:

  • Learn to dance (Salsa or tango - what's the difference?)
  • Take up a new sport
  • Take a different route each time on your way to and from work
  • Learn to knit (by the way, I can crochet)
  • Find and read a magazine that interests you from those that you have never read
  • Feel free to sing in the karaoke bar
  • Go to an art exhibition
  • Learn to make bouquets
  • Learn a foreign language
  • Join a theater club and be sure to participate in plays
  • Help in any charity
  • Look for new meetings, do not be afraid to talk to people and listen to them more closely

If we shift all this to your business, it turns out that we are hiding behind old installations like:

  • Do not show off and do the usual
  • Build on your strengths
  • Don't try to become a Renaissance man

All these are excuses, excuses for their unwillingness to leave the comfort of corporate foundations. Many companies, including Nokia, for example, did something completely different in the beginning, but they were not afraid to experiment. And although there is no doubt that not all experiments will be successful, it can put a small business on a big voyage.
