The UnComfort Zone.

Datamaxer, you’re traveling to another dimension; a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. One where there’s little hesitation to leap into the unknown, because great minds know that big risks often reap bigger rewards. You’re moving into a land of both fearlessness and fortitude. You’ve just crossed over into... The UnComfort Zone.

There are countless ambitions and goals out there, with what is often an uncertain journey ahead. There’s one guarantee, though: To accomplish anything in life or in business, you’re certainly going to have to step out of your comfort zone.

Simon says ...

“Own the Dash” is a simple ideology created and lived by Dakota Meyer — a Medal of Honor recipient. There are two dates on your tombstone (birth date and death date). What really matters is the dash “in between” the dates. As I shared at our Kick-off's ... How will YOU start owning your life (your dash) today?” - Barry Simon
