That\u2019s normal, of course. The good news? There are plenty of strategies that you can implement to help you thrive when feeling outside of your comfort zone. It\u2019s time to find out how brave you truly are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"recognize-that-risk-is-opportunity\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recognize that risk is opportunity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On his podcast, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.startuphandmedowns.com\/#homepagescroll\">Startup Handmedowns<\/a>\u201d\u2014for founders to learn from founders\u2014Ranbir Arora speaks to entrepreneurs and successful leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEntrepreneurs definitely tackle fear and risk in a different way,\u201d says the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/locations\/london\/south-bank\">WeWork South Bank<\/a> member and founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/sweatco.in\/\">Sweatcoin<\/a>, an app that converts your physical steps into currency. \u201cThey perceive risk as opportunities once they quantify it. And they are not afraid of failing. They know that when you fail, you can learn from the key failures as you get out of it, which gives them the encouragement to try again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneurs who view failures as learning opportunities are training their brains to feel more confident taking action outside their comfort zones. When they take a risk, they receive positive reinforcement\u2014either they succeed or they acquire more information about what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEntrepreneurs definitely have a different mindset as to how they approach challenges,\u201d says Arora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"take-care-of-your-biggest-asset\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Take care of your biggest asset<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You are your most important business asset. So, it\u2019s important to practice good self-care when you\u2019re outside your comfort zone. Inventory what activities are most relaxing for you and what you can do that\u2019s restorative, whether you have a free 20 minutes, 40 minutes, or two hours. It may be helpful to schedule \u201cleisure time\u201d in your planner and observe that appointment like you would a session with a business coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Dominique Gagnon, the founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/actofcreation.com\/\">Act of Creation<\/a>, a branding and business development agency for new food brands, \u201cI think what carries me through is the basics: good sleep, friends, and family to make me laugh and relax, and my \u2018self-soothing\u2019 tricks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/locations\/berkeley\/berkeley\">WeWork Berkeley<\/a> member\u2019s tricks include cooking new recipes, long baths with wine, and&nbsp;Saturday&nbsp;mornings at the farmers\u2019 market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"know-whos-on-your-team\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Know who\u2019s on your team<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re outside your comfort zone, it\u2019s a perfect time to assemble your \u201cteam.\u201d Not your business partners or employees per se, but rather, who is going to root for you or add levity to your life. It\u2019s a powerful exercise to write down who these people are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michelle Mather, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/locations\/portland\/custom-house\">WeWork Custom House<\/a> member and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.portlandcoachingcollective.com\/michele-mather\/\">life coach<\/a>, says to \u201cKnow your advocates. Have people in your life who are in your corner, see your potential, and champion you onward, even if they can\u2019t see your vision. Find these people and make time to be with them. Just having their energy around can keep you moving through any discomfort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"create-an-atmosphere-of-playfulness-and-curiosity\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Create an atmosphere of playfulness and curiosity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe early part of a startup\u2019s life is just about discovery and finding out about your business,\u201d says Arora. \u201cThe reason you get into a startup is to make a huge success out of it, and that can mean making money or working on a passionate cause. What you shouldn\u2019t be too precious on is how you\u2019ll get to that destination. For now, it\u2019s your job to throw spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"regularly-step-out-of-your-comfort-zone\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Regularly step out of your comfort zone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll get an answer that resonates with you,\u201d says Mather. \u201cMost recently, for me, it was redefining \u2018networking.\u2019 I ask myself, \u2018How can I spend time with some really cool people this week, that I haven\u2019t met yet, who seem to be interested in the same things I am? And when I meet and connect with just one or two people, how can I support what they\u2019re up to?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Redefining the concept of networking made the act of networking much less daunting. Now, in fact, \u201cIt\u2019s actually something I can get excited about,\u201d says Mather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: Lauren Kallen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s life-affirming to do something novel or unexpected: going out on your own as a solopreneur, joining a startup as an early team member, or moving to a new city, for example.
