#138: Failure is Not an Option: Essential Strategies for Unstoppable Success

This week was a wild ride for me– internet outages, Jujitsu injuries, the whole nine yards. Steven J. Manning talks about failure not being an option and about turning challenges into wins? His advice was golden this week!

A global tech outage today caused major disruptions due to a faulty update within Crowdstrike’s Falcon sensor, a security tool used on many Windows machines. This update triggered crashes and system shutdowns, impacting businesses, airlines, and media outlets worldwide. Crowdstrike is working on a fix, but the exact cause and full extent of the damage are still under investigation. While some reports suggest a Microsoft employee might be responsible, official sources haven’t confirmed this and focus remains on the Crowdstrike update. Many will learn about failure here…

Back to my situation: First, the internet went out three times in two weeks! Construction took the blame initially, but the third one…well, let’s just say I might have been the culprit (details coming!).

But here’s the thing, even with a sore eye from a wayward knee at jujitsu (ouch!), I wasn’t giving up. Washing the car with sunglasses on became a funny adventure, and my determination only grew.

This week was a test, for sure, but one that led to some unexpected victories and valuable lessons. Stick around to hear how I tackled the internet myself, even with blurry vision, and the cool new skill I learned in the process. Get ready for some laughs, some learnings, and a whole lot of triumph over setbacks. Let’s do this!
