Reflect on a time when you felt completely out of your comfort zone. What did you learn?
Last year was very tough and rough year for me. I never knew i will be alive today to share this experience with you. But in all, i give Glory to the Almighty God. I wasn't steady throughout last year in my comfort zone due to difficulties and challenges of life. Seeing myself lacking food and turning to a begger made me to leave my comfort zone in other to earn a living.
Last year June, i came in contact with a particular company that deals on healthy supplements. I needed to push the business forward but i had no money to register myself talk more of getting their products to distribute. While i was attending their seminars, I have more zeal to do the business. I started strategizing where i will go and how i could use other people's money to start up the business. When i talk of other people's money, I don't mean duping them rather talk to them about the efficacy of the product and if anyone indicates interest, i can use their money to que in my name in the system and get them the products at the companies price which is the power of other people's money (opm). After making the necessary arrangements, i had to leave Uyo to Aba for business. The woman you saw me and her in my thumbnail image was the first to buy my products. She assisted me to organize a seminar in her office. People came and buy products for themselves and i made some profits too. All these while, i was out of my comfort zone. It really affected me because i was just squatting in someone's house. Sometimes i might not have money to eat even where am sleeping was sometimes messed up by the kids. Well, it was actually a period of lessons to me because being out of my comfort zone helped me to learn that life is full of challenges. It doesn't go as planned at times but whenever things is not working, we should tryout other things in other to keep on sustaining ourselves.
After my first trip, i later returned back to Uyo to check on my daughter. It wasn't easy with her too to be out of her mon for a period of one month.

As you can see in this picture, i left my comfort zone again in search of greener pastures. Here am inside Keke going out for marketing. I was very tired but determined to achieve success before going back to my comfort zone. Here, some friends i met earlier when i traveled to Aba organized a simple seminar with their clients and invited me to come and share the business and products with them. And that prompted me to leave my comfort zone again. Yes i have to leave because i haven't gotten enough money to start up something reasonable while in my comfort zone. They where happy to have me around and we went to different locations even in Ariara international market Aba to market the product to some pharmacies and drugs dealers.
Honestly leaving your comfort zone is not an easy task because you will definitely miss a lot of things. But what will always be on your mind is what made you to leave at the first time. If you keep on reminding yourself that, it will help you to overcome any challenges outside your comfort zone and you will definitely come back with no regrets. At the end, i went to meet with fokusnow who helped me to return back to hive and since then, i don't have anything to regret. Leaving my comfort zone help me to understand that we can meet our destiny helpers outside of our comfort zone. Success sometimes might not locate us in our comfort zone. We need to move out of our comfort zone to meet success. Leaving my comfort zone last year brought me so many blessings. I was completely out of my comfort zone for a period of 3 months and I it me all the lessons I just mentioned.
