My daughter is dealing with what it’s like to not be as good at something TODAY as you’d like to be.
When you’re first experiencing this situation, it can be frustrating.
Like today, I’ve been working on the Testimonial Wizard. People are enrolling in the Testimonial Wizard beta program and I’m finishing the final details with that. In fact, people who I don’t even know are asking about using it.
That’s a good sign and, really, something that’s not happened to me very often before.
Because of the interest, I decided to automate the whole service. So that means, once a client, customer or patient of yours records a testimonial, you get notified within about 2 minutes and can download the video.
What was my experience making all that happen?
Didn’t work, didn’t work, didn’t work, didn’t work, didn’t work, didn’t work, didn’t work, didn’t work. WORKED.
Now you can get frustrated during all of the “didn’t work” steps. But that doesn’t help anyone and it is really annoying. Plus, without those steps, I’d never get to the WORKED step.
This sounds obvious and logical, but it’s easy to forget in the heat of the moment.
So instead of doing what most people do and quit or blow steam out their ears, you just breathe and keep going. Leave the story out of it. Just return to the moment. In the moment, there’s never MORE than the step you’re on. One step, one step, one step.
There’s no rush. Where are we all rushing to? The END? Is that really the goal we’re so keen on reaching as quickly as possible?
