Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the comfort zone bit. It’s kinda addicting to keep expanding the bounds of it once you get over the initial discomfort. I love the learn and I’ve come to realize there’s no mastery with being an absolute amateur first.

True Mike when we are consistent. We learn more and we become efficient through the compound effect.

Left my comfort zone today and talked directly to my phone camera for the first time. I just woke up early and started vloging. I did nothing special today but showed what I did and talked a bit about my thoughts. YouTube video is going to be online at the end of next (My second ever YouTube video). I'm so excited!!! 🙃

Hey Macdaniel, this is a really great post! It totally relate to mediocrity being a silent killer. Sometimes when I first started my writing journey, I would get a blog post that did well and I would take that opportunity to rest on my laurels. But when I made an effort to not do that, I found myself making significant progress. Thank you so much for posting this! Your newsletter is awesome by the way! Just subscribed! :)
