Everywhere you look there seem to be shortcuts to success. Just scroll through the headlines of any blog feed or even here on Medium. Every high-traffic article is some version of “10 steps to Easy Success in…”

That’s not how success works. It’s fine to have systems. In fact systems and habits are fundamental to getting the greatest results out of your limited time and energy.

But when it comes to achieving worthwhile goals you have to get outside your comfort zone and do the things that scare you or make you feel uncomfortable.

The difference between success and failure is a matter of the amount of time you spend challenging your fears, your resistance, and your ego. Simply put, successful people do what unsuccessful people won’t.

One step to success…do something that scares you.
