Bravery Digest #4

Are You Leading From Courage or Comfort? Take the 5-Question Bravery Audit

By Sam Penny – Coach for the Brave

Bravery isn’t something you have once.
It’s something you practice — or abandon — every single day.

But most business owners don’t realise when comfort starts quietly running the show.

That’s why I created the Bravery Audit — a quick self-check to find out where you're really operating from.

🧠 The 5-Question Bravery Audit

Ask yourself honestly:

1. When faced with a hard decision, do I prioritise what’s easy — or what’s right?

• Easy = Comfort Zone

• Right = Bravery

2. Do I regularly choose short-term comfort over long-term growth?

• If yes, it’s a warning sign.

• Growth demands discomfort.

3. When fear shows up, do I delay action — or lean into it?

• Hesitation feeds fear.

• Motion starves it.

4. Am I taking actions that feel risky but aligned — or just playing it safe?

• If you never feel exposed, you’re not growing.

5. At the end of most days, do I have at least one moment I’m proud of — because I chose bravery?

• No brave moments? Time to raise the bar.

⚡ How did you score?

• 4–5 brave answers: 🔥 You’re moving with serious momentum.

• 2–3 brave answers: ⚡ You’re close — a few deliberate shifts can change everything.

• 0–1 brave answers: 🚨 Comfort is calling the shots. Time to reclaim control.

🧭 The good news?

Bravery is a daily decision.
And you get another shot at it — today.

Pick the question that challenged you the most.
Make a bold move before the day ends.

Let’s stop drifting into comfort.
Let’s lead deliberately — and bravely.
