The Transition Period

The period between starting something new, growing, and mastering it, is Craptivity. That period of living at the bottom of the chart, trying to figure things out, starting, stopping, and failing is where we all live, in whatever we are doing. It is the hardest stage of growth you will ever experience because there is no time limit on it (how nice would it be to know what your expected effort and outcome is in that arena) and what you do in it, is completely up to you.

Can AI…

Can AI… Tie your shoe (how awesome would that be). Use a Pencil. Put their hand up to ask a question. Slide down a hill and avoid the rocks. Lead your team. Start a team.

Of course that isn’t how it works ever. It takes time, patience, consistency, showing up each day, not throwing in the towel, going back to the drawing board, dealing with the setbacks, trying again and again.
