I once saw a presentation about

Mergers & Acquisitions by

@robertetches at the GALA

Conference in Monaco.

Robert is CIO of TextMinded

Danmark* & Vice‑Chairman of

the GALA**.* http://www.textminded.com

At one point Robert talked

about »Leaving the comfort

zone«.

The slide showed a simple but

powerful illustration.

It pretty much looked like this:

Your comfort zone

Where the

magic happens

I liked the idea so much

that I started to re‑draw

it myself …

Where the magic happens

Your comfort

Zone

www.tracom.de • @stefangentz • facebook.com/stefan.gentz

But then I thought about it …

www.tracom.de • @stefangentz • facebook.com/stefan.gentz

My question was:

www.tracom.de • @stefangentz • facebook.com/stefan.gentz

»Do we really need to leave

our comfort zone?«

www.tracom.de • @stefangentz • facebook.com/stefan.gentz

Of course there are a lot of

strategies, tips & tricks

about how to »leave« your

comfort zone …

www.tracom.de • @stefangentz • facebook.com/stefan.gentz

… but as the comfort zone is

so, well, »comfortable«, they

all don’t really work!

www.tracom.de • @stefangentz • facebook.com/stefan.gentz

The solution is actually so

much more easy …

www.tracom.de • @stefangentz • facebook.com/stefan.gentz

And you do not even have

to leave your comfort zone!

www.tracom.de • @stefangentz • facebook.com/stefan.gentz

It’s as simple as this:

www.tracom.de • @stefangentz • facebook.com/stefan.gentz

Just make your

comfort zone BIGGER!

Your comfort

Zone

That was easy, wasn’t it?

It’s really just that simple!

Think about it.
