  • Thank you, Louise.

  • You did think of everything, didn't you?

  • I say yeah, yeah, yeah.

  • You did.

  • Yeah, she did.

  • Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business

  • and life you love.

  • Now, if you know that you need to grow but you're afraid of what you gotta do to get

  • there, let me tell you, this is the episode for you.

  • Today's question comes from Helena, and she writes:

  • Hey, Marie, I have a business called Yummy Italy where I offer culinary experiences for

  • people who want an authentic taste of Emilia, Romagna.

  • My most frustrating challenge right now is trying to do everything well.

  • Managing a home, a child, a business that wants to grow, a struggling marriage, and

  • a sick mother who lives abroad.

  • Working by myself from my kitchen table I'm having to say no to clients because there's

  • a lot of work and not enough people to do it, and funds are limited.

  • Last spring I had a moment of wanting to throw in the towel because I couldn't cope with

  • the pressure.

  • However, things took off by themselves and I need to find a way to go beyond my own limitations.

  • I need more staff and an office, but I'm fearful of taking the next step.

  • How do I break down that wall of fear and branch out?

  • Thanks so much, Helena.”

  • Helena, now, I'm not gonna lie, you had me at Yummy Italy and I could not help but

  • swooning over all those pictures of pasta on your website.

  • Now, that said, I also really loved the honesty and the vulnerability of your question.

  • First off, I gotta say this, you need to know how awesome you are and how much I admire

  • you for how hard you're working and all the things that you're doing to take care

  • of your son and your business and your clients and your mom, and I'm sure the 50 other

  • things that you're managing each and every day like a friggin' champ.

  • And, you know, I know you probably don't feel like a champ, but you are one.

  • You know, sometimes it feels like we have the weight of the world on our shoulders and

  • no one sees what we're doing and what we're managing.

  • So I just want you to know that we see you, we admire you, and we say brava.

  • Now, the reason that I wanted to answer your question is because this is a pattern I notice,

  • especially with driven, creative women.

  • And yes, people, I know I am making a broad generalization here so I'm don't wanna hear

  • all the comments, but here's the deal.

  • In my experience, women in particular tend to wait far too long to get the help that

  • they need to grow.

  • This is true in our businesses and it can also be true in our personal lives.

  • Now, I'm certainly guilty of this and at some point along the journey virtually every

  • woman I know has struggled with getting the help they need too.

  • Now, you mentioned fear and how afraid you are to take that next step to grow.

  • You know, most of us know the naughty acronym for fear, right?

  • “F everything and run.”

  • No!

  • I'm outta here!

  • But I want to give you a more productive acronym where fear actually stands forface everything

  • and rise.”

  • And I'll rise up, I'll rise like the day, I'll rise up, I'll rise unafraid, I'll

  • rise up.

  • You see, Helena, the key to breaking through your fear is to learn how to really use it

  • to your advantage.

  • You want to learn how to reframe it and change what it means to you and how you look at it.

  • Because 99% of what each of us needs to do in order to grow our business, we've never

  • done before.

  • So of course it's gonna feel daunting, it's gonna feel terrifying and overwhelming.

  • That's natural.

  • And in your case, Helena, what's so awesome is you know exactly what you need to do.

  • You need to hire help ASAP.

  • Look, I remember when I was still doing everything myself from my kitchen table just like you.

  • I felt like I was drowning.

  • I could not keep up with all the demands on my time.

  • I knew I needed to hire help, but I was so scared, probably much like how you're feeling

  • right now.

  • I wasn't making a lot of money at that time.

  • I had never been a boss before, so I had an important choice to make.

  • Choice A was to stay in my comfort zone and keep trying to do more and swim faster and

  • pedal harder all on my own.

  • But the truth was, and I knew this deep down, that if I stayed in my comfort zone much longer

  • I was probably gonna kill that very thing that I loved that I was working so hard to

  • build.

  • There was really no chance that I'd ever get beyond the stage that I was at.

  • Now, choice number B was to get out of my comfort zone and start living in what I now

  • call the growth zone.

  • This is that magical place where I could learn how to be a boss, I could learn how to delegate,

  • and I could learn how to grow my business.

  • And yes, that growth zone, man, it was terrifying because I knew I was probably gonna fall flat

  • on my face.

  • And you know what?

  • I did.

  • I hired the wrong people at first, I wasted money, there was a lot of tears.

  • But you know what?

  • I stuck it out.

  • I stayed in that growth zone and eventually I started to get it right.

  • Now, you know Helena, I am a visual learner so I really wanted you to see how this whole

  • powerful growth zone really works.

  • Here in the comfort zone, which is where many of us live, things feel safe.

  • They feel known, right?

  • Even if things are stressful and unpleasant, at least we feel secure in the fact that it's

  • familiar.

  • Now, so many of us tend to stay here in the comfort zone way too long.

  • So long, in fact, that we start to kill the very things we love.

  • But, see, all the good stuff in business and life exists outside of it here in the growth

  • zone, which is also known as the discomfort zone.

  • So, yes, things will be uncomfortable at first.

  • It's scary.

  • You feel really vulnerable and insecure because you don't know what the hell you're doing.

  • But if you're able to hang out there in the growth zone, also known as the discomfort

  • zone, and you learn, that is where all the magic happens.

  • That's where you face your fears.

  • That's where you get stronger.

  • That's where you gain all new kinds of skills and confidence and capabilities.

  • And that's where you get to make a bigger difference to others.

  • And then guess what happens?

  • All of a sudden that growth zone becomes your new comfort zone.

  • Everything that used to be so scary and unknown is likeoh, I've got this.

  • I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt.”

  • And now everything outside that is your new growth zone.

  • Now, these days I do my very best to stay in the growth zone as much as humanly possible.

  • And one of the things that really helps me do that is I try and surround myself with

  • people that are growth-minded, people who are willing to take risks, to be uncomfortable,

  • people who are willing to stumble and fall and get back up and try again and again and

  • again even though all of us are afraid.

  • Now, if you want to connect with a huge community of growth minded people, you should really

  • join us for B-School.

  • It is an extraordinary experience that will train you to stay in your growth zone for

  • good.

  • Because here's the deal, when you're growing and you're learning, the very best of you

  • shows up.

  • That's where all the magic exists both in your business and in your life.

  • And if you ever forget that fact, Helena, I want you to roll up on this tweetable.

  • You can stay comfortable or you can grow.

  • Your choice.

  • That was my A to your Q, Helena, I really do hope it helps.

  • Now I want to hear from you.

  • So what's the most important thing that is outside of your comfort zone right now

  • that you know you need to do or you need to learn in order to get to your next level?
