Hereโ€™s what nobody wants to tell youโ€ฆ

When you eliminate discomfort for others, youโ€™re not being helpful, youโ€™re being a dealer in the most dangerous drug of all: comfort.

Competence is built through discomfort, not despite it. When you remove challenges to speed things up, you slow down long-term capability development. Youโ€™re trading short-term efficiency for long-term incompetence.

In my best-selling book The Heroโ€™s Rope, we look at how letting people handle discomfort and grow through challenge, even when itโ€™s difficult to watch, will optimize long-term capability development.

I just had a โ€˜newโ€™ LinkedIn connection message me inviting me to purchase his book ๐Ÿ“•. I responded to a link with my book as well that he could consider purchasing. His โ€˜excuseโ€™ was that he had no money to purchase my book, but if I purchased โ€˜hisโ€™ book it would showcase the future technological advances that would impact humanity, provided I could โ€˜follow the physicsโ€™ (hmmmโ€ฆ cheeky and cheap!)

I responded, Does the future of humanity involve one-sided transactions, aka Win-Lose.

Interesting the world ๐ŸŒŽ we are in where an individual asks to connect with you via LinkedIn, you accept, they pitch you there creative work, butโ€ฆ when you share yours, all the sudden โ€˜excusesโ€™ come out such as I donโ€™t have any money ๐Ÿ’ต and such.

My thoughts are that fellow authors and writers โœ๏ธ should not use this approach - simply trying to extract resources from another human without providing โ€˜any real valueโ€™, unless of course your / my lowly brain ๐Ÿง  can handle your earth shattering physics breakthrough. No thank you ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†”๏ธ

At Paterson Consulting we provide a number of FREE / no cost ๐Ÿ’ฒ resources to you to first test out and prove OUR VALUE / ROI that we provide such as our Burnout Predictor tool - https://paterson-burnout-predictor.netlify.app

So donโ€™t be a cheap personโ€ฆ cheap people often have, cheap ideas ๐Ÿ’ก and insights. Be better, and donโ€™t make excuses when โ€˜you choose not to be betterโ€™, โ€˜when you choose not to be authenticโ€™, whether you are a human - or a cheeky bot ๐Ÿค–โ€ฆ you could at minimum create a cheeky bot that provides value - and I believe the โ€˜true laws of physics and the universeโ€™ will then shine โœจ down upon you.

Your best operator shouldn't also be your biggest single point of failure.

When critical field knowledge lives in one or two people, every vacation, retirement, or sick day becomes an operational risk. The fix isn't another heroโ€”it's a system.

At , I'll be in the Northway Technologies Theatre (Exhibit Hall A) sharing how to move From Hero Culture to Operational Excellence: spot the dependencies, transfer hard-earned expertise, and build repeatable systems that hold up when your "go-to" person isn't in the room.

That's the heart of The Hero's Ropeโ€”real resilience comes from what your team can do without you.
