Ain't Nobody Got Time For That...

Ain't Nobody Got Time For That...

Over the years, conversations with people have frequently taken the form of:

"This food tastes awesome. I wish mine tasted as good as this. What's your secret to making it taste so good?"
"When I search for you online, you show up everywhere. I wish I could be found so readily. What's your secret to achieving that?"
"You get so many views on your LinkedIn profile. I wish I could get that many views. What's your secret for promoting yourself?"
 "This piece of furniture is pure art. I wish my joinery came out that clean. What's your secret to making it look so good?"
"This mobile app has rock solid UX. I wish my app was this engaging. What's your secret to the user experience?"
 "This code is beautiful. I wish my project was as well organized as that. What's your secret to making it look so good?"
"Your passive income websites get so much traffic. I wish I could build a business like that. What's your secret for making money?"
"The artwork in this game is fantastic. I wish our games looked this good. What's your secret to making it look so good?"

And I tell them my "secret."

The long, involved, often methodical process I go through to achieve the result I desire.

And inevitably the reply is:

"Oh I don't have time, money or interest for any of that. I just wish I could make my X be as good as your X."

Well...
