Sometimes, the only thing which can define a successful person is the extent of his comfort zone. Most people start living in a city/working for a company/have a certain work profile and over a period of time, they become comfortable in it. No matter if they were happy or unsatisfied with it in the beginning.
But more often than not there comes a time, once you have grown used to this zone; you are given an opportunity or a need arises which will make you go out of this zone, do a new kind of work, move to a different city. On the outward it looks great to have the change, but as it comes closer you start becoming uneasy, distraught and wish to keep the status quo.
You have reached a comfort zone. The longer you stay in it, the more difficult to move.
Some people just give that chance up, some manage to drag themselves through to the otherside while the others embrace the change.
I think I am in one of those situations now, moving from Mumbai to Delhi. When I initially moved here, i gave myself 2 months to get out.. now its over 2.5 years and I am still here. Whats surprising is the mental block I am facing in moving to Delhi. But then I have set some things in motion and its not possible to stop the move.
I used to think I am one of those guys who can embrace change and are always ready to explore new places. But ALas I note, the comfort zone has caught up on me.
Several entrepreneurs I read about are people who when they hit a wall, or are run down; have the ability to pick up and start back from zero. Put themselves back from a 10/100 ppl company in a comfortable office to a single person company run from a garage like room.
I am going back there, and have been finding flimsy excuses to get back into the comfort zone. In reply this is the email I got from my partner who left me to my devices and moved to china to startover.
Vikram, here is the route map for you:-
- check the the resumers for ppl in delhi we are having
- search for new ones- invite ppl for interview
- select one
- be a good boss
- start calculating financial validity of your business ideas, it might help
