For me..
It means get out of your comfort zone and overcome the fear of the new and failure.....push through and the potential for success is unlimited.
But it could also be a wife to get her lazy husband to go to the shop and buy sanitary pads...lol.
I was on a weird course in Australia once that helped people overcome their fear. One of the tasks was to "make love to a lampost" in the busiest part of Sydney. The guy who got that task adamantly refused to do it, he was a country boy (nice guy but very straight) Sooooo...me being me . lol. Everone just walked past not looking.. Sigghh.
What do you expect..its me..lol

I would have jumped at the opportunity and done it just to see what would happen. I'll run with this idea over here and see how I perform. Wish me luck!
Great personal anecdote! Thanks.
Keep your cool and keep your Mrs. happy. Get those pads lol.

Furthermore, if we follow the mindset and strategy framework posted (above image) and persist, we can achieve significant success—beyond our wildest dreams. However, the outcome will depend on:
- Your willingness to take risks and learn from failures.
- The strategies you apply and adjust over time.
- Your ability to scale efforts and stay committed despite setbacks.
My question here: Does this approach align with your long-term goals for success?
(An open-ended question for those it may concern.)

I find that some themes are better than others. Yesterday I went back to using Elementor PRO and the HELLO theme. It has all changed from the last time I used it. I spent a very long time experimenting with themes and AI generated images. Getting a professional website means learning all you can from a genuine source like WA. You cannot expect instant results. It is a LOT of work. There are zillions of wannabes trying to earn online. You just have to work harder than most and learn more than most. It takes time. Someone once said it takes the equivalent hours of a 40-hour week for a year to establish your on-line business. Ignore the hype and the get rich quick purveyors. It is very possible to earn more in passive income than your day job. You have to put the time and effort in. What do you think?
I think you've absolutely nailed it. Once you've built the systems, the revenue potential is virtually unlimited—beyond your wildest dreams.
I also agree with how you're planning to execute it. It sounds like you've done your homework thoroughly, opted in, and are here for the long haul.
You have to keep going. No force can stop you from achieving your goals and endeavors. You've committed to see this through to the end.
Kudos to you. I admire everything you've mentioned here.

It is so impressive to learn what you are up to, as I see you have been through what I have just started instead.
The Comfort Zone on the yellow color background fits into The Principle of the Five Elements (오행원리.五行原理), which reveals how everything exists, works, and progresses, explaining the reasons behind their manifestations. Yellow to brown represents the earth element, whose characteristics are symbolized by trust and belief (신. 信). What we are comfortable with is rooted in trust. In order for us to leave the comfort zone, either courage rising from within or challenges confronting what is foreign outwardly would be required, which does not emerge in a timely manner without the "Potential" we possess over time. We need to challenge the earth element yellow with the wood element green potential in an adversarial mannerㅡ목극토. 木克土, or allow the earth yellow trust in us to give rise to the potential of the white/silver metal element represented as a courageous cause with a tailwindㅡ토생금.土生金.
Thank you, Bow. This is such a profound explanation, and it resonates with me deeply. I love how you've connected the comfort zone to the Five Elements theory. It makes so much sense that trust (represented by the earth element) is at the core of what keeps us comfortable, and I totally agree that breaking out of that zone requires strength of potential and courage.
I can relate to needing either an inner push or an external challenge to leave the familiar. I've experienced this myself, especially when facing transitions.
Your perspective about the earth giving rise to metal, like courage building from a foundation of trust, is truly inspiring. It reminds me that sometimes, we don't need to force change but let it develop naturally from within.
I appreciate this a ton.

Hey, Abie! Basically, this image means while you feel safe in your comfort zone, you can only reach your potential by facing your fears (fearzone).
Thanks for sharing! Too often I am staying in my comfort zone, for example, I always avoid showing my website to my friends when they ask about it or creating a Facebook page for my blog etc.
Totally, I appreciate it, Linda! It can be crippling when you're in the fear zone, but once you move past that stage, a whole new world opens up.
In this case, we need to develop a thick-skin strategy. However, I'd listen and try to understand if we receive constructive criticism, as it will only serve me well and benefit my endeavors.
Social media platforms aren't required, but they can help generate more organic traffic, especially if our target audience is active on them.
Also, don't feel obligated to meet anyone's expectations if you have a reason for not acting on them. But I get the point you're making.

If the idea of bursting out of your comfort zone scares the living daylights out of you, amend your thinking.
Instead, why don't you expand your comfort zone; nudging it, stretching it? Taking lots of little steps makes you feel more and more confident, yet still comfortable.
Evetually you reach your potential,almost without realising it. Persistency and consistency are king and queen of this business.
That's true. To get this action going, you need an active shift in mindset.
Small, incremental steps over time compound exponentially.
This is very thorough feedback—it punches and delivers. I'm confident you'll make great progress quickly.
Astounding indeed. Thank you.
