Get comfortable with being uncomfortable

Ask any successful entrepreneur what the turning point was for them and they will tell you it was becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable. Some of my favourites are: Starbucks and the founder Howard Schultz - check out his book ONWARD. For two plus years Howard had to REINVENT himself , his leadership team and reconnect his brand partners with their driving WHY in order to save a declining Starbucks. Throughout this long and lonely journey, Howard had to master becoming uncomfortable with being comfortable by making some of the boldest moves ever undertaken in his business. 

The former Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple was forced to leave the company he had founded check out his autobiography: Steve Jobs. The next 10 years Steve had to REINVENT himself by becoming uncomfortable with being comfortable. Not only did he grow personally, emotionally and spiritually,  he mastered whole new levels of leadership that would ultimately serve him when he returned to a nearly insolvent Apple. Steve reconnected Apple to their driving WHY and led a team that would ultimately make Apple the most valued company in the world.
