Doing this will get you from good to great.

Think of any successful person that you know or have read about.  Now, think about what made them successful to the point that you remember their story?  You can likely think of lots of successful people, but why this person and not someone else?  What makes their story memorable?

Your first thought is probably about their achievements, but then you realize that there has to be more to their story than just what they produced...something bigger than even the sum of their accomplishments.  

Think about a main character in your favorite book or movie.  While their actions and personality may come to mind first, it's what they had to give up that makes them worthy of your attention (and money).  Sacrifice.  Every great story involves a great sacrifice.  You can't achieve the impossible without risk.

Playing it safe doesn't make an interesting story, and while it's comfortable for you, it won't get you to great.
