How Far are you willing to go to find a Way to Success?
How many times are you willing to Fall Flat on Your Face and Fail?
Will you allow Frustration to Win?
Anger?
Impatience?
Fear?
Hopelessness?
What is going to Happen when the Barriers Pop Up?
If you Lack the Information, will you Learn it?
Will you Find Others to do it for you?
What will you do when what "Usually" Works simply Stops Doing Anything?
Will you Continue Forth?
Adapt?
Change Course?
I speak with many people about their Desire for Success.
Yet, I find that, Rarely, do people Realize How Far they "Really" Must Go to Gain Success.
In Any Endeavor.
Let me give you just a small Example from My Evening...
So Far...
I'm in the Process of Helping my Mother-In-Law get Photos and Videos off of her Phone and onto a Hardrive because her Phone is Completely Out of Storage.
This is Something that I've Done on my Devices before.
Something that typically is Easy for me.
I Figured things would be the Same Tonight.
Well, if you're reading this, I'm sure you see where this is headed...
"In Theory" (which Frequently Does Not Translate to Reality), I should be able to connect the Phone and the Hard Drive to any Computer.
Open up the Correct Folders on the Computer.
Cut the Photos and Videos from the Phone.
Paste them into the Hard Drive.
Done.
The Process to set up should take less than a Minute.
The Transfers, of course, depend on the Size of the Files.
Simple.
Right?
Well, Not Tonight.
I Plug my Mother-In-Law's Phone into her Computer, which is a Mac.
Admittedly, I have Two Challenges.
One, I'm Not a Tech Guy.
Two, I Know Nothing about Macs.
So, we get the process started.
Macs, in General, do not like "Non-Apple" Devices.
The Phone is an Android.
So, Apple has a Special Program where, "In Theory", it should connect to the Phone.
Done Right?
Well, Not Tonight.
The Program Refused to Connect to the Phone.
Great.
What other options do I have?
I thought about Downloading Cloud Software.
Nope.
There's No Storage Space on the Device for that.
Well, I do not know Apple Products well, so I Turned to Google.
I go through the options...
Bluetooth comes up as an Option.
Alright, that's something I've Never Tried, but Why Not?
I follow the Instructions...
The Mac gives me Another Problem.
It seems the Mac's Bluetooth Settings must go through a certain Program...
Which is Stuck in some Limbo State where it is Unable to Process something.
Apparently, my Mother-In-Law took it to Apple's "Geniuses" who had No Clue what to do, and it has been in that Limbo State Since.
Unsurprising.
This means I have No Options left on the Mac.
What else could I do?
I went and Grabbed my Work Laptop.
I figured I prefer the PC anyway, and Know a Few Things More about how it works.
So, I connect the Hard Drive and Phone to my Laptop.
Well, it seems that the Phone did not want to Connect to my Laptop Either.
Perhaps "That" was the Phone's Fault then, and Not the Mac's.
Doesn't change how I Feel about Apple's Products, but they get a Pass on this part of the Problem.
So, what other Options do I have?
Well, I could Try the Bluetooth Route Again, but on the PC.
Still something I've Never Tried, so I turned to Google Again.
Got the Instructions.
Connected the Devices Via Bluetooth.
Yes!
Let's Transfer the Files!
Aaaaaannnnnddd......
Nope.
It seems there is a Connect Error.
I'm not sure what to do at this point.
I could give up.
But that is not my Style.
So, I decided to Disconnect and Reconnect.
That is what Tech Support always says to do, Right?
Well, I went through the Process Again...
Connected...
Stays Connected.
Awesome.
Test the 1st File.
It Works...
But it is "Incredibly" Slow.
But, it at least works!
So now, as I write this article on my Personal Laptop, the Work Laptop is working on the File Transfers...
And there are probably 100 More times of Transferring 7 Files at a Time to Go.
But, Success is Success.
So, let me ask you Again.
How Far Will You Go To Find A Way To Success?
Tonight is an Example of how far I'm willing to go on something where I care little about the Final Outcome.
How much Further do you Believe that I am Willing to Go on something that I "Deeply" Care About?
How Badly Do You Want the Success You Seek?
If you want Extreme Success in Any Aspect of Life, you must be Willing to Dedicate Your Wayset to Extreme Distances.
Extreme Difficulties.
Extreme Frustrations.
Extreme Confusion.
The More Extreme the Success...
The More Extreme You Must Be Willing to Become.
How Far Will You Go To Find A Way To Success?
Are You Ready to Go Beyond Leadership?
Tired of Broken Algorithms and AI Slop?
Excited to Dive Deeper into Psychophysiological Mastery?
Want to Change The World?
