Over time we gather a set of constrictive habits. This traps us into a supposed zone of comfort which we never tend to step out of. And this determines what we think we can or cannot do.
However, if you wish to achieve big goals, you need to break out of it in order to stretch your potential. In other words, you must be willing to stretch well beyond your comfort zone and do the things that will actually bring you to greater heights.
For example, when I was just starting out, I didn’t like the idea of creating websites because it just seemed too complicated. I didn’t understand how to register a domain name, I didn’t know how to upload and I didn’t know how to design it well. It was outside my comfort zone however I still pushed on to learn it. Even after learning it, things changed and blogging was the next big thing. Again I couldn’t grasp the idea of blogging and refused to learn it or use it. It wasn’t until I realized that it was great for getting search engine traffic did I actually force myself to do it – and here I am blogging 
Everyone has their own zone of comfort and everyone has their own distance that they’re willing to step away from it. You may still be working a 9-5 job and taking baby steps to slowly migrate online will be biggest decision you could make. You may even be put off from all the ‘techie’ stuff associated with this business, or the fact that you have to learn new skills even if you’re already educated in other areas of your life. But believe me, this online business is just like learning to ride a bike. You may be shakey at first, you may even fall over. It’s important to get back up and keep pedalling because once you’ve ‘got it’ you’ll be able to travel far!
