Getting Uncomfortable

This book has brought out things in me that I am not comfortable with; but are necessary.  When this book got published and we made the decision to sell it through Amazon, things changed for me.  I knew a large group of people and I knew they would have an interest in buying the book.  Some of them had differing reasons for purchasing the book, but many people would have interest simply because they know me and realize this is a big achievement.  Also, how many people can say they personally know an author and have a personally signed copy of their book?  That is huge!!! 

The thing that changed for me was me getting outside of myself and simply contacting people.  I began to text, call, and email old friends and co-workers telling them about the book and asking them to support it by making a purchase.  This is something big for me!  In the past I have been hesitant about asking people to buy things that I am associated with, but this book made me change all of that.  I got great responses from most of the people I reached out to and in turn got quite a few sales of the book.  The summation is that in order to move to another place in your life, you have to change your circumstances and move out of an area of comfort.  Where there is no struggle, there is no progress.
