Meeting Till Gross in Vienna

Last week I was in Vienna. I had the oppertunity to meet with Till Gross who is the guy who arrange the ComfortZoneChallenge.

Till Gross and me in Vienna

Till’s recommendation

I asked Till for the Number 1 best advice to people who wants to challenge their comfort zone. He was very clear:

Life is hard. Face it and keep on working. Don’t give in just because it sometimes hurts

As we were looking at a group of students who did a series of different comfort challenges I asked Till to explain what he meant by saying that life is hard.

So he explained a bit more

If you want something out of your life you must be willing to pay the price. It’s just like exercise: when you wake up the day after a hard work out your muscles hurts – but you know it’s a good kind of pain. You need to do the work to get the result

I absolutely agree.

Till’s book recommendation

According to Till one of the Must Reads are the book:  So good they can’t ignore you written by Cal Newport. I am reading it right now and will post a review of it when I am done.
