Frustration

[AndrewNC]

This past week has been the most frustrating business week of my life since I taught myself PHP. At least 100 obstacles - problem after problem that I didn't know how to get through. After every problem, I was about to give up and call it a night.

...but then I changed one thing from what I normally did. I didn't give up, and pushed through each obstacle one at a time until I made it to the other side. Google is my best friend when I am lost. Now that I learned how to climb these walls, I am one step higher than the rest.

On the other side of pain is success. Don't give up and you WILL make it.

Google is the key to my slowlane job. It has about 95% of the answers you need. Sometimes I wonder if I could write a book on how to Google, because not everyone seems to get how to browse the web...

Every time I experience struggle and frustration I tell myself that this all just part of the barriers to entry. If someone could just walk through the front door then is it really Fastlane? Nope you gotta find a way to break through a security steel door.

All of the uncertainty, lack of feedback, struggle and confusion is just a barrier to entry as a bundle along with the business itself. It's enough to intimidate others into giving up.

Put it this way, every time you experience frustration and confusion it means you are about to learn something very valuable.

Sort the men from the boys kinda stuff (if only that wasn't so cliche to say/you said it a hell of a lot better).

AndrewNC:
I think it is great when the problems line up one after the other. Its such a huge step towards real progress that with a little elbow grease it just makes improvement innevitable.


These obstacles are SO much better than philosophical dismay. So, so, so, so much better! I hate dismay, and this is the way out. And after enough rungs are climbed, you find a little bit of what you need and it rejouvenates you to go again.

This is exactly why I posted this. For the first year of my journey down this road of business - it was a mental block not understanding the progress one makes when they push through those barriers. If you train your mind to embrace these challenges that 99% of other people back away from, things become so much clearer.

Yup ^^. Plan for it. Figure 10x.

10 times more work.

10 times harder.

10 times longer.

My slow live job involves Level 3 Tech for a data center operations, and google is my best friend also. 90% plus problem can be solve by a simple search.

I was a programmer (coder) back in the 1980's to the mid 1990's, before Google. Now that was a bit%*. Laugh

Coding (programming) gets easier. I remember many of those nights myself.
