Why success flows from your Comfort Zone

Your comfort zone is your friend. It is not boring, it is not a prison, it is where you breathe most deeply, where you feel safe and secure, where you are most confident.

Entrepreneur Economics

When I started my business 6 years ago, it was in business strategy consulting. Back then, the stats said that 90% of businesses fail within the first 5 years of existence. In 2013, another Forbes article that mentioned that it increased to 80%, but in the first 18 months. Why?
