When Embracing Discomfort Leads to Growth

From Cold Calls to a Perfect Serve


It’s so cool watching someone serve the ball with power and accuracy!

I’ve been playing tennis for four years now. Improving every time we play.

But the one skill I found the hardest to master was serving the ball.

I couldn’t wait to do it! But what was holding me back?
Every time I did it, I felt awkward, uncomfortable, and completely out of place!

If you don’t believe me try doing it once!

Playing tennis was difficult enough, but now I had to practice something that felt even more awkward?

You know what, I didn’t care.

I knew that these uncomfortable feelings would go away eventually.

I’ve always prided myself on doing the difficult things in life, stepping outside of my comfort zone.

That’s how I approach my business.

I can still remember that feeling of being sick right before I would cold call a “For Sale By Owner,” but I didn’t care I did it anyway.

Decades later, I actually find enjoyment in calling strangers 🙂

I’ve learned to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

That is where growth and progress happen when you push yourself past your comfort zone.

I never want to be the person who stops ME!

The world is tough enough, why would I limit myself on purpose?

Guess what? Eventually, my serve improved. So has my real estate business.

​And I’m so excited to find that next thing that makes me feel uncomfortable!
