Years ago I used to focus on the worst members of the audience. The ones who crossed their arms and legs, never smiled, hardly said a word or took a single note throughout the day. I felt the need to ‘win them over’ to prove my ability as a speaker and a trainer.I’ve learned something over the years: Some people do not want to be won over – and that’s OK.Now I focus on the audience members who do respond with smiling, nodding, taking notes, asking questions and la

This article departs from the technical aspects of Exiting a business and focuses on the emotional challenges of Exiting a business – specifically the challenge of breaking out of your ‘comfort zone’.
A ‘comfort zone’ can be described as a place where we all ‘return to’ on a consistent basis, or a place that provides us with a sense of security because we can predict and control the outcome of many of our actions in that ‘zone’. It is a place in our minds where we find a sense of control and where the world immediately around us has a sense of order. This is a personal place that we design through our thoughts and habits.
Business owners live in ‘comfort zones’ because every day that we report to work, we are confronted with challenges that have been created in the building of our businesses. Exiting a business requires that you step out of that comfort zone and develop new patterns of thought geared around your Exit.
Changing the way that one thinks is a difficult task. This is particularly true for busy business owners because we habituate ways of acting, much like the manner in which we drive our automobiles. We do not consciously think to hit the accelerator, look over our shoulder and slightly turn the wheel when changing lanes – we simply do it by habit.
In 1960, Dr. Maxwell Maltz wrote the following in his best selling book,
Psycho-Cybernetics:
“[like changing lanes in a car] . . . in much the same way our attitudes, emotions and beliefs [towards our businesses] tend to become habitual. In the past we ‘learned’ that certain attitudes, ways of feeling and thinking were ‘appropriate’ to certain situation. Now, we tend to think, feel and act the same way whenever we encounter what we interpret as ‘the same sort of situation’. What we need to understand is that these habits . . . can be modified, changed, or reversed, simply by taking the trouble to make a conscious decision – and then by practicing or ‘acting out’ the new response or behavior. The pianist can consciously decide to strike a different key, if he chooses. The dancer can consciously ‘decide’ to learn a new step – and there is no agony about it. It does require constant watchfulness and practice until the new behavior pattern is thoroughly learned.”
Dr. Maltz was describing the manner in which we can make decisions to change our behavior. And I submit that formulating a proper Exit Strategy can be as easy or as difficult as we choose to make it.
So, what can we do today to address this ‘comfort zone challenge’?

The Internet boom and the beginning of the cyber age has given rise to all sorts of things that, twenty years ago, would have sounded impossible. The Internet has become an entire world unto itself, filled with virtual business, auction houses, libraries, and galleries. There is nothing you cannot buy, sell, or trade online, no topic you cannot research, nothing you cannot view. With the click of a few buttons, you can virtually travel around the world.The latest Inte
