uncomfortableIf you’re like me, you do not like being uncomfortable. As you move up the career ladder or become an entrepreneur, you’re constantly in unfamiliar situations like going to events, being in meetings with key investors, or pitching potential acquirers. For others, it might be making public appearances, meeting public personalities, or posing for photos. Through out your career, the events that cross your path are unfamiliar. A key to success is learning to cope in these situations and thrive in them.

But how do you learn to become comfortable with unfamiliar situations? If you want to learn this key to success, check out Barry Farber’s video. He’s an entrepreneur, who discusses how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. He reminds us that we shouldn’t be afraid to do the thing that makes us uncomfortable. The only way to get good at something is to actually doing it. Simple? Yes. But scary for some.
