This is the mental state we all need to achieve to attain real and lasting success in whatever we choose to do.
This is not solely about making money.
It’s about anything you might aspire to.
The way people reach this state is to know where they want to be, determine what they might have to do, or how they might have to behave, to get there.
Then, they immerse themselves in the activity, or the behaviours, and ignore the outcome.
By focusing on the activity, and getting satisfaction from the activity, they are able to enter the flow state that ensures the outcome they desire will happen.
If you’ve had anything to do with the Occupational Health & Safety people you’ll know that even though they have no idea how to do something, they will always be able to tell you how to do it more safely.

My last experience with them was when we were doing an outside survey.
We were taking GPS readings along a suburban street, mostly off the road.
The instruction was to wear safety boots, hi-vis jackets, a hard hat, and they wanted us to put out traffic cones.
I agreed with hi-vis, I questioned the need for safety boots since we were not in a construction zone, and I refused the hard hat claiming that if a UFO fell on me, a hard hat wasn’t going to save me, and that there was nothing else above where we were working.
I also refused the cones saying that we would be constantly moving and the cones would have to be on wheels to be of any use.
They did finally agree with me, but it was a fight.
The hustle gene seems to be in all of us though, especially when we are starting something new.
It’s as if we think that we’ll “get it” if we just try harder, but that’s not usually the case.
Trying harder increases your stress levels, and makes you tense up which makes it harder to build the mental and muscle memories to make things easier.
The marines have a saying, “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”
It’s true.
Taking your time to learn how to do something does not mean procrastinating.
You still have to take action, but taking imperfect action will teach you how to do it faster than not taking action at all.

P.S. Learning to accept the things that you don’t get perfect, which is most things, is the path to greater success.
It’s not hustling, it’s accepting that what you do will be flawed.
They say that the only way to keep something a secret is to not tell anyone else.
As soon as it’s shared, it’s no longer a secret.
But, I have to tell someone who won’t tell my riding buddy.
You see, I’ve ordered a new bicycle.
I want to surprise him by turning up on it and that might happen on Friday.
It’s nearly the same colour as the bike I currently ride, so there’s no need to buy a new shirt to match the bike.
Its the End of Financial Year sale so the pricing was about $400 less than new price.
The current ride has done 12,000+ km since I’ve had it, and I have no idea how much work it did beforehand, but it did need a number of things fixed immediately.

and I hope that worked for you.
This is Google’s AI on their search page getting itself totally confused.
Fortunately, there is a tiny line at the bottom of their AI snippet that reads “AI responses may include mistakes.”
No shit Sherlock!
This is all part of Google’s attempt to shut down other people making money from their content.
Google doesn’t make those search results, they’ve collected them from across the public Internet, sorted, collated, and massaged the results they show you.
The results you see are different to the results I see and possibly different to what your neighbour sees.
Some of my favourite WordPress plugins are no longer maintained by the original developer.
This means that they are becoming a security risk because changes in WordPress and the upgrading of PHP versions leave them with security holes.
Looking at the stats on my websites shows me that all of them are under constant attack by hackers.
The only defences are to update everything as soon as updates become available.
The other defence is to use a good defensive plugin.
I use WordFence, you can use whatever you like.
However, that won’t stop the hackers getting inside your site if your plugins are vulnerable.
There is a fix, and it’s simple.
Disable the plugin, but don’t delete it.
Download all the files in the plugin folder.
Upload all the files to your favourite AI tool and ask it to examine the code and suggest fixes to bring it ip to date with the current version of WordPress and PHP.
Once it has identified what needs to be fixed, ask it to rewrite the code to fix the flaws.
Upload the repaired files to your WordPress plugin and reactivate it.
An updated version of your favourite plugin that’s now secure.
WordPress might still complain about it being out of date, so all you need to do is edit the main file and rename the plugin.
This is for personal use, not for sale because you don’t own the copyright to that plugin, but you can get in touch with the developer and thrash out a deal.
Alternatively, you can ask that AI tool to create a plugin with the same functionality plus some improvements that you can call your own.
Anyway, using AI for simple programs is a snap, using it for more complex programs can be done, but you need to have some programming background or knowledge for that.
Except, you can gain that quickly by asking the AI tools to explain the code.
So, we’ve talked about using AI for coding.
We’ve talked about using AI for image creation.
We’ve talked about using AI for writing.
All of these require human input to make the output good, not brilliant, but good enough to sell.
Have you thought about how you could use AI to research a subject, then summarise that subject, analyse the summary to find holes you can exploit, then use AI to write a report to sell?
Maybe this will give you some idea of the power of short reports.
