The 10% Financial Comfort Zone

Women go back to abusive partners.  And we wonder.  People will systematically destroy good relationships or job opportunities.  And we wonder.  People will sabotage their success in their network marketing opportunity.  And we wonder.

We wonder only until we realize we all want to stay in our “comfort zone”.  Our zone that we know and understand.  Good or bad, it’s OK because we know and understand what happens to us there, how we feel there, what to expect there and that is far better than the unknown.

Brian Tracy in his book “Maximum Achievement” points out we have a financial comfort zone as well.  He states if we are making more than 10 percent of our financial comfort zone we blow it.  We give it away, we spend it on frivolous things, we’re uncomfortable and we have to get back into our comfort zone as quick as possible.  His case in point was the few people who have won the lottery.  Within 2 or 3 years they are right back where they started – broke or back to work.

Your natural tendency, if you are forced out of your comfort zone, even if you weren’t happy in it, is to recreate a new comfort zone similar to the one you just left.  You will actually work to recreate a situation you didn’t like in the first place. - Brian Tracy

Your  subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between reality and an experience you vividly imagine.  Imagine yourself,  with desire, with emotion, that you have in your possession a huge amount of money.  Imagine what you would be doing, where you would be, how you feel, who you are with.  Do it with deliberate, intense emotion every day as many times a day as you can and you will change your comfort zone.   Twenty-one days, according to Brian Tracy, is all it would take to expand your comfort zone to the point you could successfully, happily handle over the “10% financial comfort zone” you are currently in.

No one can do it for you. 

You have to make the decision to stretch your comfort zone in ALL areas of your life.  Do it today.  Twenty-one days from now you will have grown to the point the Universe will send you what you most desire. 

Life is for enjoying.  Might as well start today !

To your success,
