What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

We are told in business to focus on our strengths, thereby finding our comfort zone in selling in those areas, or to those people, that we feel we are most qualified.

In talking to people about this topic, I have found there to be two sides to the coin – those who feel you will not grow if you stay in your comfort zone and those who think that all of the strengths that you have mastered will lessen upon leaving the comfort zone.

Which one is true?

Well, the fact is that there is truth in both of them. However, finding the balance that works best for you would be best.

Here's what I mean.

If you have found and perfected your niche and continue to tweak it here and there, there's nothing wrong with staying in a comfort zone. The problem occurs when businesses and business owners allow themselves to fall into a rut in their thinking.

You can stay in the same realm of selling in your niche, but you should still commit yourself to stay current in updating information and creating different strategies for modern sales environments.

So, in essence, this is leaving your comfort zone, not wholly. You will still be working with your strong "foundation" of your strengths in selling. However, you can never stay "stuck" and stop learning and finding new ways to grow.

As humans, we are fundamentally wired to seek comfort.

stepping out of your Confort Zone

The comfort zone becomes a problem when you choose always to play it safe.

When you hold yourself back and hide, you're effectively saying no to a thriving business.


However, when given a chance to enter uncharted territory, where life's future is unpredictable, people often choose not to change, clinging to a comfortable situation.

In this instance, you need to be open to leaving your "comfort zone," even if it's just for a brief period of time.

You never know around which corner your next opportunity is waiting.  

I agree that to advance in business. However, it would help if you occasionally broke out of your comfort zone.

However, I don't think you must always live outside your comfort zone.

Work From Your Strengths, Not On Your Weaknesses

Your strengths are likely inside your comfort zone.

However, actual growth will come when you take hold of those strengths and let them take you to places outside your comfort zone. They are the things you know best, that you love the most, and that you can probably do in your sleep.

Your strengths line up with your passions.

Therefore, To master your powers, you will need to have spent a fair amount of time in your comfort zone. Knowing what you are good at will amp up your ability to make critical decisions when opportunities arise and assess whether they are viable "risks" and whether or not they are worth your time and effort to leave your comfort zone.

Allow yourself to become strong and confident in your comfort zone, and then take on the world with a vengeance. Striving to be the best at what you do allows you to carve out your place as an "expert" in the minds of prospects and customers. But it doesn't mean you have to stay in one place forever.

Like everything else, there's a fine line between never challenging yourself and going after every opportunity blindly just for the heck of it. Your knowledge and experience will guide you as to whether a situation is worth leaving your comfort zone or not.

Confidence is a crucial skill that will allow you to take chances outside your comfort zone. The more success you have, the stronger your confidence, and the stronger your confidence, the more inclined you will be to take necessary risks outside your comfort zone that will allow you to grow and progress toward success.
