For many people, one of the main goals in life is to achieve a certain level of material comfort and then do what it takes to maintain it (or add to financial reserves). And we humans are hard-wired to do just that – to get beyond survival to a place where we can relax and “enjoy life”.

Unfortunately, that’s not enough for an inspired, motivated entrepreneur.

Such entrepreneurs have a different motivator, because it’s their passion, their reason for being, that is calling them to do more, contribute more, be more.

Generally speaking, there is a little fuzziness about what that means, but these ‘new’ entrepreneurs don’t really have a choice. The calling is stronger than their current circumstances, relationships or situation.

In fact, they may not even know what they’ve agreed to do or become in order to bring their motivations into being, much less having clarity about how to express that through a business.

Here are some of the most common reasons that tend to show up when an inspired entrepreneur needs to break the inertia of the status quo to fulfill their motivation, purpose and personal quest to change the world. Could this be you?

The bottom line of this is that you have to sacrifice the security of the status quo in order to get to new places.

Growth is uncomfortable and shakes up your world in order to get you to where you need to be, and, by definition, if it’s some place you’ve never been, it will feel unfamiliar.

That doesn’t make it wrong, just different, and if it’s been a long time since you’ve ventured beyond what you already know, it might be time to get out of the status quo and into your next best level.

So, if you recognize yourself in any of the above scenarios, take a few minutes to consider what you can do right now to break beyond that barrier of comfortable familiarity into something you’ve wanted to do, have or become.

Ask your inner guidance for direction and take one action before the day ends.

And you will be on your way to enjoying your journey in amazing new ways as you express your motivation to change the world in alignment with what you’re doing – expanding beyond where you’ve been into your inspired possibilities.
