Arrr, listen ye scallywags! Let me spin ye a tale o' pushin' the envelope on the high seas.

The notion be simple, me hearties. To be successful in plunderin' any sea, ye must be pushin' the envelope.

"What be that meanin'?" one o' me mates asked.

'Tis a term we used aboard the ship. We knew our vessel be safe in known waters, but sometimes ye be forced beyond those bounds, into uncharted waters where the maps be blank and the dangers be aplenty. 'Tis where ye be pushin' the envelope o' yer ship's capabilities. Some do it for the thrill, feelin' more alive than ever as they stare into the abyss.

Aye, there be a few o' the crew who lived for that rush, pushin' the envelope further and further, testin' themselves and the ship to its limits. They be wantin' to live life to the max, so they'd sail until they be starin' death right in the eye.

If ye want to be successful in plunderin' the seas, or in a modern day business, ye must be willin' to sail beyond yer comfort zone, to push the limits o' yer capabilities, to attempt deeds ye've never dared afore. Ye may not get the same thrill as a ship captain does in thirty foot swells, but when ye be out there in yer danger zone, doin' things ye've never done afore, ye'll feel more alive than ever. Ye'll feel yer heart poundin', the wind in yer sails, and the salt spray on yer face.

Ye'll never know how far ye can sail until ye've sailed into the unknown, mateys. So when ye realize that somethin' needs to be done to advance yer business, and it's beyond yer comfort zone, take a deep breath, hoist the Jolly Roger high, and let out a hearty 'Yo ho ho' as ye do it. After ye've done it once, the new venture becomes part of yer comfort zone.

Arrr, there be the tale of pushin' the envelope on the high seas, me hearties! May it inspire ye to sail bravely into the unknown and claim yer rightful booty!
