Being “Good Enough” Won’t Save You
Been reflecting on careers and AI recently. Every day I think about what life, work and business will look like in the AI world.
My take:
The job market has already changed forever. You’re no longer competing with just the people in your city or even your country.
If you’re doing admin, social media management, executive assistance, or lead generation — you’re competing against:
A 20-year-old in the Philippines who does it for half your rate.
An AI tool that does it for $20 a month.
If your work is commoditised, you’re replaceable.
AI is the great equaliser. It will shrink the advantage of being “the smartest in the room.” What will matter more is being the best known.
The only way forward is this: stop being paid for your hands, and start being paid for your thinking.
How To Get Rich In The AI World
Here’s how to create ‘Career Insurance’ and make sure you get rich in the next 20 years, instead of being cast into insignificance.
Stack your skills. Don’t just be good at one thing — combine expertise with knowledge. For example: sales + AI + content.
Develop your own opinions. Learn to predict trends and form perspectives that others can’t. People pay for judgment, not tasks.
