  "A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again." – Roy H. Williams (1958-), U.S. author and marketing expert".
  No one is immune to making mistakes – we are human, after all but it's unnecessary to make the same mistakes over and over again.

Actually a person who cannot leave his comfort zone will never be a successful person in life because success needs sacrifices. You have to definitely leave your comfort zone and also you have to sacrifice your previous timing so as a result of hardwork you will be able to achieve what you deserves.

Those who have fear that they will loss money and will face failure are those who with such fear will never go ahead for doing any job or business because they will always think negatively. Take the risk and then you will see that how profitable they way is which possess greater risk. You will overcome the risk instead of creating negative thoughts in your mind according to it.

I agree that those on your list OP if we keep on doing it we will end up a failure. Failed to invest on something that might give us a better future and spending hard earned money on nonsense things could possibly lead us to failure.

Many people will assume differently about remaining in the comfort zone because you feel satisfied with the economic conditions you get from your current job, but in terms of economic factors, your economic condition statistics are not improving, but you don't realize that the level of economic stability will get worse because the impact of higher costs of necessities, the influence of inflation, and other things that require additional income to increase monthly income. Actually, we don't need to get out of our comfort zone, but we need to increase our creativity to get additional income from freelance work that is not tied to your main job.

Life could get difficult if we decide to remain in our comfortable comfort zones. We can find incredible chances that may be even greater than what we've already experienced when we venture beyond our comfort zones. We must push outside of our comfort zones and try new things if we are to succeed. It's similar to trying out several games or toys; by doing so, we could discover our favorite. Therefore, don't be scared to push beyond of your comfort zone. You never know what amazing experiences and fascinating opportunities lie ahead of you when you daringly try new things in novel ways!

Since nobody enjoys failing, it's normal for everyone to feel afraid of it. Success becomes elusive, though, if we let that fear to rule us. Our fear of failing can prevent us from taking chances and attempting new things that might lead to success. It is similar to having an adventurous friend who prevents you from having fun. Failure is a necessary part of the road to achievement, and understanding this is essential for success. Consider failure as a learning opportunity that advances our development.


Gathering wealth isn't simple; most easy paths involve significant risks, like gambling through bets or investing in unstable assets. These methods, tempting as they may be, often come with a whopping 99% chance of losing money. On the flip side, achieving wealth with less risk demands serious hard work in life. It's crucial to understand that seeking shortcuts to wealth usually leads to financial losses. Choosing the easier ways might seem appealing at first, but in the long run, it often results in regrets and financial setbacks. The key to accumulating wealth wisely is to focus on consistent effort and responsible choices.

Procrastination, which means delaying or putting off tasks, is not good for us because it causes us to miss out on lots of chances that could help us succeed. Imagine if you have a big goal, like becoming really good at something, but you keep delaying the work needed to achieve it, that's procrastination. Many people have dreams and ideas, but if they keep procrastinating, they might not ever reach those dreams. So, the best way to make sure you achieve what you want is to do things on time. When you have something to do, try to do it right away that's how you can easily make your dreams come true.

With all the stressful things that are happening on this world today, it's just best to stay where you are comfortable. Staying on the comfort zone doesn't mean that you are incompetent or any negative thing. I don't understand why these so called motivational speakers are always giving that factor as if someone should be forced to get out of comfort zone. What if it's all about the stability and that person who's in the comfort zone is able to provide still for the family. Protect your peace, if you're good staying on your comfort zone, no need to validate your feelings and beliefs by anyone.

Health is wealth they say, and I totally agree with this. You can not enjoy all that you have if you don't have good health. You can earn all that you want but if you are not there to enjoy it, then it is all just meaningless. Take care of yourself, that's the best thing that you could ever have. Eat healthy and do some workouts. This could also be specified as getting out of the comfort zone which is mentioned in the OP but I want to put it in a separate category just because it is so much important.

The second thing is, focusing more towards passive income. Passive income is a lie. That's not the truth. It is possible but you may have to put a little bit of effort in order to make that happen. If you aren't able to generate money while you sleep, you should never stop. The moment you stop, others will surpass you and you will be left behind.

Make yourself better than you were yesterday.

The fear of failure can cast a long shadow, obscuring the inherent meaningfulness of a life lived with stumbles and falls. While success is a glittering prize, it's often the journey itself, with its triumphs and tribulations, that truly shapes us.

Embracing the dance between comfort and discomfort is crucial. Stepping outside our cozy zones, venturing into the unknown, is where growth and learning reside. It's where we test our limits, discover hidden talents, and forge resilience. Yes, there will be failures, stumbles, and moments of doubt, but these are the brushstrokes that paint the masterpiece of our experiences.

But let's not romanticize failure. It's a bitter pill to swallow, a temporary setback that can leave us bruised and discouraged. However, it's also a potent teacher, a harsh but necessary feedback loop that reveals our weaknesses and pushes us to refine our strategies. Without this crucible, success would be a hollow echo, unearned and unsavored.

If someone chooses not to step outside of their comfort zone, it indicates that they are not ready to grow. Life is not always easy, and most people don't understand that moving from one situation to the next is comfortable. We all know that life is difficult, but we won't give up no matter how difficult it gets.

It is quite normal to experience failure. I've discovered that if you don't fail, you won't even grow. Let failure be your motivating factor. If you start a business and it fails, try again. There are people that invest and keep investing despite losing money or experiencing failures because they have goals they need to achieve.



It won't help to hunt for easy ways to make money since I don't think there are any. As an example, when it comes to investing in bitcoin, people talk about making money here and there, but there is no way to make an investment that you won't lose money.

If you believe you have time, the reality is that you have time right now. If you have a plan, just carry it out, and if you don't have any money yet, develop plans on how to spend it.
Although maintaining discipline is difficult, it has helped many people become better people who know when and how much to spend on what. Many people also face difficulties because they lack discipline, act without thinking through things through, and believe that there should be limits to their competencies.

Putting off tasks is a very bad habit that stems from a lack of motivation to complete tasks at the appropriate time. It is an act of laziness that keeps you from doing tasks until you finally give up. Procrastination is dangerous because it is one of the factors that contribute to failure because if you don't take action, you will just sit around and fail to complete any reasonable tasks.

Maybe the only thing I can add is to be patient in all aspects of the financial freedom that we hope for so that we don't fail in the end. Because if you are impatient, you will not reach the target you want to reach, for sure.

You must also have a positive mindset, because if you have a negative mindset, the chances are very high that the end result will be financial failure, which is not good for every individual.

There is always a chance as they, so yeah. But that is if the person is willing to change from bad to good. To be aggressive sounds exaggerated, and I think it's close to being greedy. It may not really be necessary, but as long as we are already moving and not procrastinating, that should still work fine. If we are moving, it can also mean that we are not fearful to those that we are doing.

Failure is normal and even how much you prepare, it can still happen. But, it's not worse as to those who don't prepare. Rushing is beneficial depending on the situation. Also if we are doing the thing that I said earlier which was being prepared.

Someone who procrastinates would create hurdles later on in his life that may be then, quite difficult to jump. It’s always best to do what you need to do at the right time and be done with it than to lazily shift it to a later date. I’ve had to deal with procrastination myself as I was once fond of putting away things that needed done to a later date. It just piles up all things that needs to be done and causes problems later on.

One that procrastinates cannot keep a schedule and is therefore likely to miss out on some opportunities but I’d like to think opportunities comes not once but repeatedly to the life of a person.

the reason people fear leaving their comfort zone is people think that leaving comfort means to go 100% anal in frugality where they need to live like a cave dwelling hermit eating roadkill.. thus they dont try

the actual leaving comfort zone should not be thought of in that way. instead it should be prioritising your money for worthwhile things. priority things
for instance many people want a brand new car to feel comfy showing off to the neighbours a vision of (fake) financial stability/success.
however many people can get the same model car, just 6 months old 20% less, or get last years model for 40% less

you dont need to go full anal buying a 20yo junker rustbucket of a car. but you also dont have to stick with buying a brand new car from the dealership

just making some adjustments is leaving the comfort zone. and a good start to actually start being financially successful..

other comfort things is to overspend on fast food and double tip the delivery guy to present a neighbourhood image that you can afford to eat out and be generous with tips.

however you can still eat pizza by making your own or buying supermarket pizza. and save alot of money without removing your creature comforts of the taste of pizza


these three are intertwined. first the self indiscipline causes risk of failure which then causes procrastination

the key to solving this is to plan your actions. if you plan it you reduce the risk thus procrastinate less because .. you have a plan
having discipline helps you act better and fail less.

consistency is not as essential as having a plan.. we are human we cannot be robots. but if you have a plan even for surprises. then even inconsistencies wont risk failure, because you have a plan for even when things dont go straight forward. and we all know humans are not 100% perfect

From some of the points that the OP made, there is one point that caught my attention and I will explain a little bit. Because I have the principle "That with self-discipline, there are many things we can do."

Talking a little bit about "self-discipline", this is quite a difficult thing to do, we can always easily make plans and schedules for the things we do from waking up to sleeping at night. But when it comes to consistency to a principle and to what we have planned before, maybe for the first few days everything will go according to what we planned before. But as time goes by we are often faced with saturation of what we have planned before, until finally we return to the comfort zone.

And in my opinion, consistency is very, very important, this is a skill that requires good self-control, so that we stay on the track, on the rules and plans that we have made, and the principles that we hold. And without consistency, it is difficult for us to have good self-discipline, because this ability will help us to keep going and trying, so that no time is wasted.

The biggest danger for anyone that invested in bitcoin and has obtained good profits so far is to let themselves to be convinced to invest in a shitcoin, believing they can obtain greater profits this way, but this is just an illusion, the number of those which can earn more money this way is very small, so anyone that is thinking about doing this needs to really ponder about this decision, because I really believe that if they actually do it this may be a decision they may regret for a very long time.

I will add "self-indulgence", because we tend to waste money on things that are not neccesary. Just calculate how much money are spend on takeaway food every month and see how much money would have been saved, if you made all of those meals yourself.

How many people waste lots of money on smoking and drinking and not looking after their health. Let's spend our money wisely and not wastefully. 

Nothing more to add, but the most crucial thing I want to discuss is wasting your time on unnecessary things. This is the most crucial thing we should avoid in 2024. A lot of people have made the mistake of doing unnecessary things in 2023, and you will see them admitting to themselves that they wish they had known better. A lot of people also lament that they haven't accomplished anything in 2023. While not everyone can achieve all of their goals, at least you should be able to accomplish something so that others can see that you are making an effort to become successful.

Second, searching for quick ways to accumulate wealth is one of the riskiest paths we can take, and it will eventually have an impact on our lives. Many people these days don't care how they make money; all they want is to get by, without knowing what lies ahead. Many people pursue wealth to the point where they become victims of scams, unaware that they are doing so. In 2024, we should exercise caution before following anyone's advice, lest we end up somewhere unexpected.

Generally we have experienced failure when we wanted to improve our financial level for the better, but to what extent can we improve this so that it can become a meaningful life experience. Trying to live simply and not waste money in the wrong places is also an important part because someone will reach the stage of wealth if they are able to act like that. It takes creative ideas to make money and maybe we need to learn which sectors are much more promising for making money. When we know what can be done, it will be easy to prepare everything because life has no plans, strategies or ideas, so there is no way to achieve success.

Successful people have failed many times but they never give up and start again, whereas unsuccessful people will stop when they experience failure because they don't dare to get out of their comfort zone which is full of risks. This difference needs to be improved and we should have the same view as the mindset of successful people.

I encourage hard work and risky taking because these virtues are important for one to become financially stable. So many people are lazy and afraid of taking risks which is why they decide to stay within their comfort zone. But I also encourage people not to stress themselves too much because of making more money. Life is too short to be spent solely running the rat race. Many people have become sick or even died because they overworked themselves and failed to take care of their health. A friend just fainted on the job because he wants to work harder to make more money. He was rushed to the hospital where the doctor discovered that his health condition requires less stress or workload.

My point is that even if we have financial targets for this year, it is important to take care of yourself, especially your health. Ensure that we spend time doing what gives us joy and not just what gives us money. Humans are not machines or robots so I have decided this year to work less and spend more time with friends and family because I derive an uncommon joy from staying around them.   

This is right but don't forget that we need also to spend time on unnecessary things which will come by as our personal entertainment. If you're thinking that those things you do are unnecessary and doesn't make you productive then don't do it. But if that activity is making you happy and you're enjoying every single second spent on it then who are the people to tell you what you must do. Anyway, this is a good reminder for those people that have a lot of things to do to make themselves productive but they choose not to do it.

What is this? I think that in general we all need to be disciplined in everything that we do. Whether it is on your job, business, craft or anything where you are good at, you need to put discipline on everything you does. And not just with those but also with our decisions and actions, it can also be applied but how? Depending on the situation that you'll do and that's how it should be. A person that's not disciplined, later on will become for learning how it's important to be one.
