Much of the earth's surface which back in the days of Columbus, Magellan and other great voyagers was thought to be flat, was also at that point in time, unexplored territory.
The story told by many told of scary and dangerous creatures living in the uncharted waters.
As a result of this the makers of maps frequently placed the words "Beyond This Point There Be Dragons" in the unfamiliar areas on their maps and charts. This acted as a warning for early explorers to avoid these areas come what may and resulted in the concealment of many hidden wonders for years and years to come.
Although we are all now aware than we are definitely not going to fall off the edge of the world, we have our own "Beyond This Point" warnings going on. For example, the thought of venturing into new waters and leaving our comfort zone behind, sometimes brings on the experience of anxiety and fear.
Such fear bring into being imaginary dragons such as dread of failure in something we have never before attempted, fear of mockery from peers if we do not do well, fear about discovering the right business and making decisions about how to get started and with this, and the greatest fear ever, the loss of the security you experience in your current job.
Even though you may not much enjoy what you do, the dragons keep you caged in the day to day toil which is necessary to provide you with your livelihood. That horrible job takes on the role of a tatty worn out but comfy chair. We are scared that one day the arms of the chair will fall off but we have been sitting there for so many years, the sanctuary the chair offers keeps us in that place.
The chair lulls us into a false sense of security that one day a fantastic happening will take place without us having to actually do anything. Our lives will change before our productive years are over, and we will then achieve the success of being our own boss. This will not happen. This is what is meant by a comfort zone

Concentrate on your aims and ambitions and find the necessary sources to glean the information you need to start you on your journey.

It has to be said that there is no possible excuse for not using the Google program properly. The information is out there so it is up to you to do your homework and develop your skills to enable you to succeed. If you fail, it will only be because you have not applied yourself as you should have done and put in the time and effort to get your newfound knowledge into play.
Many victorious entrepreneurs get a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction by giving something back. They share the knowledge they have learned and the success they have achieved by means of providing both free and paid programs for others to follow in their footsteps. It only takes a minute to carry out a quick search on any of the popular search engines which will produce numerous good sources. It also pays dividends to spend some time on the forums where lots of good information is passed around.
The waters are no longer uncharted. The pioneers have produced an informative and detailed chart which is just waiting to be picked up and followed. But, of course, in order to do this you need to leave your comfort zone.
It's now up to you. You have the choice to keep dreaming from your cozy arm chair about owning your own business, or take on your personal dragons and through the Internet's magic, making sure your chart reads, "Beyond This Point There Be Success".
