COURSE
Why Your Comfort Zone Is Dangerous
With Rianna Hijlkema

Wonderful short course that is both memorable and actionable! I really liked that the four steps were listed in the questions afterwards. That made is super easy for me to grab a piece of paper to write them down. Thank you!

Thank you! Your succinct course put together fear of the unknown, using one's mind to achieve goals and the importance of steady, repetitive work. I realized the fear I have about my main goal and how I have been lowering the bar rather than encouraging myself to push to get the results I want so much. One point, though, I feel differently about than you. I don't feel it's a lie to himself for your client to say he loves to make the phone calls. He may be uncomfortable for the moment, but in the larger context of dealing with the calls, he IS happy overall.
