Where Are You on the Transition Curve?

I was watching a video of Alex Hormozi where he talks about the five stages of entrepreneurship and introduces something called the *Transition Curve* 📈

It perfectly captures the emotional rollercoaster 🎢 we all go through when learning something new, whether it’s building a business, diving into AI automation 🤖, or mastering tools like n8n ⚡.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Uninformed Optimism ✨ – Everything looks exciting. You’re buzzing with energy ⚡ but don’t yet know what you don’t know.
Informed Pessimism 😬 – Suddenly you’re knee-deep in API keys 🔑, authentication issues, and webhook errors… it gets real.
Crisis of Meaning 😵 – You hit a wall 🚧. This is the point where many people either:

💥 Crash & Burn, or

🚀 Push through…

4. Informed Optimism 🎯 – where things finally click and you can build with confidence.

👉 My question to you: Where are you on this curve right now?

And more importantly, what’s one thing you’re doing to make sure you reach *Informed Optimism* 🎯 instead of crashing and burning 💥?
