Okay, I love working from home but it’s really started to take a toll on my health. I was going to the gym 2-3 types a week, but doing nothing close to a ‘real’ workout.

My waistline was growing!

Then I talked to my friend Jeff, from SuperAffiliateLifestyle.com, to discover he had gotten a personal trainer.

Right then and there I decided to make a commitment in 2008 to get into shape. For the last several weeks I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dominic :

I’ve had 8 sessions so far and Dominic and he is seriously kicking my butt into shape - he used to be in the Air Force - so you can imagine the level of intensity he’s training me at. I’m doing 3 sessions with Dominic a week from 9 am to 10am in the morning! Plus on alternate days he’s having me come in on my own and do cardio.

I gotta tell ya, Dominic doesn’t pull any punches, I’m nearly passed out from exhaustion after each of our workouts.

And it’s GREAT!

I’ve NEVER worked out at this level of intensity in my life. I’m seeing incredible gains in muscle, energy levels, and endurance. My goal for the end of the year is to be 170 pounds with 10% body fat, I’m at 160 pounds with 20% body fat right now.

At the rate Dominic is working me I’m going to hit my goal is 4 months! I’m going to be totally ripped!

Having a personal trainer is AWESOME. There’s no way you can get anywhere close to the same workout or results doing it yourself, it’s a whole new level of working out, seriously.

I decided to do weight training with a personal trainer for the obvious benefits it provides :

1. improve health & fitness
2. increased energy levels
3. higher self-esteem
4. reduced stress levels
5. improved productivity & mental focus.

But you know what the biggest lesson I learned from Dominic?

I learned that to grow in any area of your life you have to continually push yourself out of your comfort zone. Dominic is always pushing to run at a higher speed on the treadmill, to do more weight in my weight lifting routine, etc, etc.

Just when he suspects I’ve adopted to the new higher level he’s set, he challenges me again by raising the bar yet higher.

Dominic is continually pushing my out of my comfort zone, as any great personal trainer would, forcing my body to adopt and grow at a phenomenal rate.

This applies to you affiliate business as well.

You have to be willing to continually push yourself out of your comfort zone, doing things you feel uncomfortable doing, if you want to grow your business at a phenomenal  rate.

For many of you that could be building a landing page, finding some outsources and building a team, testing different ppc affiliate strategies, going on forums and reaching out to people and networking.

These are all things at one point or another that took me out of my comfort zone.

If you’re already a super affiliate making big bucks, then start thinking about how you can push yourself out of your comfort zone to take your business to the next level.

I can tell you right now I’m working on a bunch of projects right now that are pushing me out of my comfort zone, because regardless of what happens in those projects I know that’s what I need to do to grow myself (my skills, my thinking, etc), and as a result, grow my business to the next level.

If you want to have a multimillion dollar business you have to FIRST grow and become the type of person that can handle a multimillion dollar business.

The best way to do that is to face your fears and step out of your comfort zone - continually.
