Yes Man Review

Yes Man. I just watched this movie the other day. You know, the one with Jim Car­rey, and he has to say yes to every­thing. Ya that one. Any­ways, I think every­one in a busi­ness or look­ing for self devel­op­ment can learn some­thing from this movie.

Yes I know it’s a com­edy and it’s pretty ridicu­lous in parts, but there is a pretty pow­er­ful messege. The main char­ac­ter, Carl,  goes through life say­ing no and com­ing up with all kinds of excuses to get out of things. He lives a bor­ing life, with no excite­ment and does the same bor­ing thing every day. He’s com­pletely unhappy with his life but he doesn’t want to take the risk to change it.

As fel­low entre­peneurs, I’m sure you can relate or at least know some­one that is like this. These peo­ple will fail. Mak­ing excuses will get you nowhere. You get what you work for. That is part of being in a busi­ness and being suc­cess­ful. Tak­ing risks.

Any­ways, so Carl ends up going to this con­fer­ence after run­ning into an old friend. He tells Carl about the con­fer­ence and how it’s changed his life and what not. Long story short he goes to this con­fer­ence and learns about the power of Yes! Say yes to every­thing they say.  He starts say­ing yes, no mat­ter the results. Which of course makes for some very funny and dis­turb­ing comic relief.

But more to the point, it com­pletely turns his life around. He learns all sorts of things such as fly­ing a plane and bungie jump­ing. His life is now com­pletely ran­dom and excit­ing. All from one lit­tle change in his life. He started expe­ri­enc­ing life in general.

I thought that was quite pow­er­ful. One lit­tle change in his life and he was able to turn his life around. He stepped out of his com­fort zone.  There are things you may have to do in your busi­ness that you may not feel com­fort­able with. Such as mak­ing calls with leads or putting out content.

How do you get past that? Just do it! Start doing it and keep doing it. The more you do the eas­ier it gets. Step out of your com­fort zone and become a bet­ter and more well rounded per­son. Expand you­self, expand your business!

YES!
