outside my comfort zone

I recenlty watched a vid saying you should do something outside your comfort zone each day. Today I did two.

On a facebook jobs site, I posted that I was looking for a job. I'm looking for ideas of what kinds of things I could do. The thing is that I don't like telling people what I'm doing. I don't actually know why that is, but it's quite strong in me.

The second is that I met a guy on Monday who has his own travel company. I don't know that he wants an assistant (actually I think he's torn about the idea because he's  had a bad experience in the past) and I don't know that he'd want me as an assistant because he's super detail oriented and, by nature, I'm more organized chaos, but I did it. I also offered some suggestions on selling points for the company in general and for a specific trip he might arrange.

Phew. Feeling courageous.

Thanks. It was hard to bring myself to do it, but it seems so simple now that it's done. ;-)

Way to step outside your comfort zone!
Good luck with the job stuff.

Thanks. I was feeling discouraged today and didn't get much of anything done. *sigh*

Well done! I hope it pays off. And if not, just keep trying.

Thanks. I'm having a bit of trouble getting into the keep trying zone, but I'll get there.
