Introduction

“Only a mediocre person is always at his best.” - W. Somerset Maugham
 Life begins at the end of the comfort zone. We go there by stretching. It can feel uncomfortable, especially at first. But it is necessary in order to be, do and have everything we were created for.

Objectives - The WHY
The benefits of tension. We are not talking about the kind of tension that leads to stress and health issues. The law of the Rubber Band is all about stretching ourselves so we can reach our full potential. Think about it… rubber bands are only useful when they are stretched. The same can be said about us!

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. Growth stops when you lose the tension between where you are and where you could be. 
   

What You Need to Know - The WHAT

1. Few people want to stretch. Too many people are willing to settle for average in life. Nobody admires average. Nobody pays for average. 
   
2. Settling for the status quo ultimately leads to dissatisfaction. Most people are naturally tempted to settle into a comfort zone where they choose comfort over potential. 
   
3. Stretching always starts from the inside out. As James Allen said, “You cannot travel within and stand still without.” 
   
4. Stretching always requires change. In order to grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be different from your past. 
   
5. Stretching sets you apart from others. Successful people set themselves apart because they initiate the improvement others need. When you get better, everyone benefits. 
   
6. Stretching can become a lifestyle. When we stop stretching, we stop really living. Don’t let your current success become your new comfort zone. Keep going. 
   
7. Stretching gives you a shot at significance. 
   

What You Need to Do​​ - The HOW

1. Reflect on what areas of your life you are not stretching or have settled in. Then find internal reasons to seek the tension to stretch again.
   
2. Be strategic about how you maintain the tension between where you are and where you could be. If your goals are too easy to achieve you lose the tension but if they are too lofty they can seem too difficult to achieve and be discouraging. 
   
3. Dream big and set an overarching goal to keep you stretching. This is your lifetime goal. 
   
4. ​Listen to the Building Success Habits Series
   
5. Download the IBGR Business Growth App
   
6. Challenge beliefs that no longer serve you. Quote: Eric Hoffer - “No matter what our achievements might be, we think well of ourselves only in rare moments. We need other people to bear witness against our inner judge, who keeps a book on our shortcomings and transgressions. We need other people to convince us that we are not as bad as we think we are.”
