Growth, whether it be personal or in our businesses, feels uncomfortable. It just does. Pushing your limits and seeing what you are capable of comes with some discomfort. However, some people don’t let themselves even attempt to grow because they’ve decided they would rather have peace over discomfort. My guest this week, like so many of you listening, was willing to disturb her peace in order to grow, and the results have been tremendous.
