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!

Where the magic happens
Your comfort
Zone

That was easy, wasn’t it?
It’s really just that simple!
Think about it.
