My recent conversation with Mike Bartkoski highlighted how true progress comes from stepping into discomfort and embracing what feels unfamiliar.

He reminded me that success is not about staying in the groove but knowing when it’s turning into a rut.

Trying new things may feel awkward, even risky, but it’s where the real breakthroughs happen.

Whether you’re a leader inspiring your team or someone striving for personal growth, the lesson is clear:

Staying comfortable limits your big goals— but stepping out can elevate you to new reachable levels.

How To Escape The Limits Of Your Comfort Zone

  1. Embrace Discomfort: Growth begins where comforts ends. Seek out challenges that stretch your limits.

  2. Foster Humility: Acknowledge your mistakes and actively listen to your team, and outside leaders. Humility builds trust and collaboration.

  3. Break the Rut: If you feel stuck, try something new.

    Experimentation leads to innovation and elevation.


    Breaking ruts— that are turning in to the graves— is hands down the fastest way to experience success.

    Most leaders tap into an outside leader— who can advise and accelerate the path of real progress (without the worry of looking foolish in front of the team).
