In both cases you have a portfolio mix of established working strategies that provide stability to your business (your bonds and other stable investments that provide stability) and some things you play with to see if they'll work (your higher risk investments that can bring much higher returns or won't work at all).

If we do not move out of our comfort zone, we do not grow, and that's not just an Eastern idea. How about Eleanor Roosevelt, saying "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." Good post, John. If we do not move out of our comfort zone, we do not grow, and that’s not just an Eastern idea.

Tapping into the media attention of successful businesses is a great way to "be taken for a ride" so to speak. But make sure the message that is being sent is one that you are happy with.

I like the tie in to eastern philosophies and breaking through. Many of my clients know what to do, but getting them to see it clearly and to act is always the issue.

Pushing the comfort zone is well needed. But focus is too. Some of the most successful products and service offerings - in terms of revenue and paradigm change really come from a focused strategy that identifies their target market and builds the entire product line and communication structure around that market's needs and emotions. Identifying that market, keeping the product line simple and focused and developing cutting edge strategies make the difference between boys and men. :) Well said.
