Hey Sonia!
Getting out of your comfort zone is the only way to grow and evolve. There is no doubt about it.
No pain no gain.
You have to do something you have never done in order to get something you’ve never got. I heard this from multiple successful people. There has to be some truth about the quote, right.
You have to push yourself to take risks and just go for it. This is how you learn and this is how you truly grow and get to another level.
Thank you for sharing this helpful podcast show! 🙂
Have a nice week! 😀
