- 0:00For almost all of human history, it was
- 0:02like this: born poor, you die poor. And
- 0:05only in the last 30 years did an
- 0:06ordinary person get a chance to learn
- 0:08something, go sell it, then build a
- 0:10business around it, and make something
- 0:12of themselves without money,
- 0:14connections, or wealthy parents. And
- 0:16that window of opportunity is closing.
- 0:18I think we have about 5 years left, and
- 0:20then neural networks will shut that
- 0:22door for good. And if you don't manage
- 0:24to break out by then, you'll most
- 0:26likely stay exactly where you are
- 0:27forever. I realize this might sound
- 0:30like clickbait or a horror story, but
- 0:31here is what pushed me to make this
- 0:33video. I recently fired my designer—a
- 0:36great one, with good taste, who I’d
- 0:38worked with for a long time and enjoyed
- 0:40working with. And I didn’t fire her
- 0:42because she did a bad job, but because
- 0:44she simply had no work left to do. All
- 0:46the design work she used to do is now
- 0:48handled by the Claude AI, and it’s
- 0:50much faster and cheaper. This hit home
- 0:53for me because, well, first, I started
- 0:55out as a web designer myself, and
- 0:57second, if even an experienced person
- 0:59with good taste can be replaced now,
- 1:01what about the beginners just starting
- 1:03their path in this field? After all, I
- 1:07climbed that very ladder myself, and
- 1:09now I see its bottom rungs being sawed
- 1:12off. In this video, we will take a
- 1:14closer look at what is happening with
- 1:15these neural networks and what to do in
- 1:17the next 5 years so you don't get left
- 1:18behind. And at the end of the video,
- 1:21I’ll tell you what I would do today
- 1:23if I were 17 and starting from scratch.
- 1:25Part one. The ladder to success. Anyway
- 1:27, here is the story. I was an ordinary
- 1:29schoolboy in Dniprodzerzhynsk and had
- 1:30no idea what to do with my life. The
- 1:32options were clear. We had a factory in
- 1:34town, and most of the population worked
- 1:36there. There was a university with some
- 1:39basic professions where people would
- 1:40work for a salary of like 200–300
- 1:42dollars a month. And if you didn't want
- 1:44to go to university, there was the army
- 1:45. And I didn't really like any of those
- 1:47three options. So, while I was still in
- 1:48school, I just started learning web
- 1:50design before classes. I just sat there
- 1:52, practiced using YouTube, watched some
- 1:54videos, and downloaded and took various
- 1:56courses. And in about a few months, I
- 1:59had already learned how to create
- 2:00simple one-page websites on platforms
- 2:02like Tilda or Flexbe. Yeah, it wasn't a
- 2:05super high level, but I was at least
- 2:07capable of the basics. And as soon as I
- 2:08finished school, a week later I was
- 2:10sitting on a bus, heading to Moscow,
- 2:12and arrived there. And these skills
- 2:14that I acquired, well, in just a few
- 2:16months, were already enough for me to
- 2:17be able to sell something and earn some
- 2:19money. I went to meetings with
- 2:21entrepreneurs, they had various
- 2:23businesses. I told them all: "Listen,
- 2:25you need clients, I know how to make
- 2:26websites and run ads, let me do that
- 2:28for you." I started selling for cheap
- 2:30at first, like 15-20,000 rubles. Then I
- 2:32increased the price, reaching 100,000
- 2:33rubles. per project, and started
- 2:35building a team. And this allowed me to
- 2:38stay in Moscow, rent an apartment, buy
- 2:40food, just survive basically, and
- 2:42establish a starting point for my life.
- 2:45It literally saved my life. So, 2
- 2:48months of easy training built a bridge
- 2:50for me between a bleak, somewhat scary
- 2:52existence in Dniprodzerzhynsk and a
- 2:54life in Moscow, with earnings and
- 2:56freedom. I thought: "Wow, that's cool."
- 2:59And I started sharing this with other
- 3:00people. I created my own web design
- 3:02school and named the course "Lock,
- 3:03Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". Well, I
- 3:05started teaching people how to do that
- 3:06same web design, essentially repeating
- 3:08my path. 15,000 people took this course
- 3:10. Ordinary people came to it, even
- 3:12girls, even 15-16-year-olds in tenth
- 3:14grade, they came, quickly figured out
- 3:16how to make websites, went to sell them
- 3:19, and earned their first 50-100,000
- 3:21rubles. and then continued their path
- 3:23in freelancing. For many, it was simply
- 3:24a ticket to a better life. And it
- 3:26really worked. But what about now?
- 3:28Let's recall my designer now, whom I
- 3:31laid off. He is better than 99.9, or
- 3:34perhaps even 100%of those course
- 3:36graduates, because they were beginners
- 3:38taking their first steps in design, and
- 3:40he is an experienced designer who has
- 3:43been working for many years, but even
- 3:45he is effectively out of work now. And
- 3:48what awaits beginners then? They have
- 3:49absolutely no chance. And the path that
- 3:52once worked for me, and later worked
- 3:54for 15,000 other people who bought my
- 3:56products, has simply stopped working.
- 4:01Nowadays, such sites cost pennies, and
- 4:02anyone can just dictate a voice note
- 4:04like: "Listen, I have a barbershop, I
- 4:06want a website in this style, here are
- 4:0810 photos of my clients, go ahead and
- 4:10put it together, upload it to Tilda."
- 4:13And it will do it, and it doesn't need
- 4:14an intermediary like Misha Timochko,
- 4:16who would also charge 30,000 rubles for
- 4:18it. It was a ladder that worked. You
- 4:20master a skill in a few months, make
- 4:22your first money with your own hands,
- 4:24then sell it and scale up even further.
- 4:26And that is how thousands of people
- 4:28from my generation rose up. Various SMM
- 4:30specialists, marketers, web designers,
- 4:32programmers. They would learn something
- 4:34, quickly figure it out, implement it,
- 4:36sell it, and then some even became
- 4:38millionaires. And all these ladders are
- 4:40now ceasing to work, and their bottom
- 4:41rungs are being sawed off. If you still
- 4:43don't understand what I'm talking about
- 4:44, let's look at this in more detail
- 4:46with examples. Let's take a designer,
- 4:47for starters. In the past, you’d take
- 4:49a course for a couple of months, build
- 4:51a portfolio, and could already take
- 4:53your first orders, like making banners
- 4:55or covers. Now, banners and covers are
- 4:57made through a neural network just like
- 4:59that, with ease. It costs pennies. And
- 5:01for you to get hired now, you need to
- 5:03be able to do much more. Have taste,
- 5:06know how to do branding, help
- 5:07businesses attract customers, and
- 5:09develop a corporate style that is a
- 5:11level above the neural networks, which
- 5:12already do it better than beginners
- 5:14anyway. In short, it’s not a couple
- 5:17of months; it’s at least a year, and
- 5:18that’s only if you’re talented. So,
- 5:20in the past you needed a couple of
- 5:21months, now you need at least a year. A
- 5:23copywriter. In the past, you’d take
- 5:25one course, practice for a couple of
- 5:27months, and you’re already writing
- 5:28very good newsletters for businesses.
- 5:30You can make money from it. Now, any
- 5:33neural network like ChatGPT, with
- 5:35properly set prompts and good
- 5:38references, writes better than 90%of
- 5:41all beginner copywriters. And to write
- 5:44better than ChatGPT, you need, well, at
- 5:47least a year of experience. Maybe more;
- 5:50you might need 2 years of experience in
- 5:52copywriting just to outpace a neural
- 5:54network that cranks out these posts one
- 5:56per second. Video editor, translator,
- 5:59ad specialist, assistant, programmer.
- 6:01Everyone has the same story right now.
- 6:03The simplest part of the work in all
- 6:05these professions is now going to
- 6:06neural networks, leaving only the
- 6:08high-end work for the very best. These
- 6:10aren't just my feelings. Researchers
- 6:11looked at Upwork, the largest freelance
- 6:13marketplace in the world. And in the 8
- 6:16months after ChatGPT was released,
- 6:18orders for text dropped by 21%, and
- 6:20orders for images by 17%. And that was
- 6:22just in the beginning. Much more time
- 6:24has passed since that moment. I think
- 6:27now any sane person sends a request for
- 6:29text or image generation directly to
- 6:31ChatGPT, not to some freelance exchange
- 6:33. I mean, honestly, I don't know. You
- 6:35would have to be really out of touch
- 6:36right now. I mean, really, to place an
- 6:38order on an exchange to create an image
- 6:40or write a text. 99%of people will go
- 6:42to ChatGPT with this, you have to agree
- 6:44, and I think you would too.
- 6:46Furthermore, the company Anthropic,
- 6:48which makes Claude—my favorite Claude
- 6:50—calculated how their users are
- 6:52actually using them. And they found
- 6:54that in 49%of professions, Claude is
- 6:56already doing a quarter of the tasks,
- 6:58while the figures just a year ago were
- 7:00an order of magnitude lower. That is,
- 7:02in a year it won't be doing a quarter
- 7:04of the tasks, but half of them. In 3
- 7:06years, it will be doing 60%of the tasks
- 7:08. In 5 years, it will be doing about 78
- 7:11%of all tasks. In short, it will all
- 7:13lead to it doing 80%of the tasks for 80
- 7:16%of all businesses. Something like that
- 7:17. And that's just Claude, not to
- 7:19mention that there are a bunch of other
- 7:21great neural networks besides it. And
- 7:23here is another unpleasant figure.
- 7:25Stanford looked at salary data for
- 7:27millions of people in the US and found
- 7:30that in fields where AI could be
- 7:32implemented at all, there is 20%less
- 7:35work. Well, that’s also
- 7:36understandable. Wherever AI is
- 7:38implemented in any way, the amount of
- 7:39work immediately decreases. At the same
- 7:41time, experienced people in those same
- 7:43professions show no drop-off. Do you
- 7:44understand what is happening? People
- 7:46who are already working are left alone;
- 7:48they are just not hiring new ones. And
- 7:50it's the same thing in Russia right now
- 7:51. According to HeadHunter, there are 19
- 7:54resumes for one entry-level vacancy,
- 7:56while for one vacancy for an
- 7:57experienced person, there are only 2.5.
- 8:00So competition at the bottom is eight
- 8:02times higher. And the problem isn't
- 8:04even that people are competing too hard
- 8:06with each other. The point is that they
- 8:08are competing with AI, which is very
- 8:10difficult to beat. And here is the most
- 8:13unpleasant thought in this video: in a
- 8:15few years, even a designer with 3 years
- 8:18of experience may become uncompetitive.
- 8:21An editor, programmer, copywriter, SMM
- 8:23manager, marketer, or accountant with 3
- 8:25years of experience may become
- 8:27uncompetitive. Only people with
- 8:29experience in their profession of 5, 7,
- 8:3110 years or more will remain. That is,
- 8:34the elite, the very best specialists—
- 8:36only they will have work, and the
- 8:38minimum bar will rise every year. In
- 8:40simple terms, it's like an escalator
- 8:42that used to stand still, but now it's
- 8:43moving down. And before, you could just
- 8:45be, just stand in place, and nothing
- 8:47would happen to you. But now, even if
- 8:50you are moving uphill at a good pace,
- 8:52you are still being dragged down. And
- 8:54let's ask an honest question right away
- 8:55. Pause this video and answer yourself
- 8:57honestly. Can what you are doing now,
- 9:01what you sell to other people, be done
- 9:03by AI at least halfway, or even at
- 9:05least 20-30%? If it can already do it
- 9:0920-30%right now, you understand what
- 9:12that means. Well, if there is less work
- 9:15for people, then where does all that
- 9:16money that was supposed to be paid to
- 9:18them go? And this, I think, is the most
- 9:21important question in the video,
- 9:22because they don't just disappear; they
- 9:24get redistributed, and certainly not in
- 9:26our favor. Look, any job exists because
- 9:29there is a task that needs to be solved
- 9:31. You need to answer calls, the
- 9:32business hires an administrator. You
- 9:34need sales, it hires a sales manager.
- 9:36You need a beautiful website, it hires
- 9:38a designer. You need to edit a video,
- 9:40it hires an editor. Now imagine that
- 9:43the tasks haven't gone anywhere, but
- 9:44now they are being solved using neural
- 9:46networks. And if before you needed five
- 9:49people to cover five tasks, now one
- 9:51person with a neural network is enough.
- 9:54So where do the savings go? Let me give
- 9:56you a hint: look at what is happening
- 9:58now with the biggest companies in the
- 9:59world. Take, for example, Salesforce—
- 10:01it’s an American CRM system, very
- 10:04popular, practically all businesses
- 10:06operate on it there. A multi-billion
- 10:07dollar company. It had a support staff
- 10:09of 9,000 people. They cut it down to
- 10:125,000, and shifted the rest to neural
- 10:14networks. I think there will eventually
- 10:16be 500 people in support at most.
- 10:18Furthermore, the head of Shopify sent
- 10:19out a letter to everyone that before
- 10:21hiring a new employee, prove that this
- 10:23task cannot be done with AI. Duolingo
- 10:25declared itself an AI-first company and
- 10:27stopped hiring contractors for work
- 10:29that can be done via neural networks.
- 10:31And the head of Amazon wrote a letter
- 10:33directly to all employees that there
- 10:35will soon be layoffs because of AI;
- 10:36these aren't startups with starry eyes,
- 10:38these are companies that count every
- 10:40dollar. So where do the savings go? To
- 10:43whom are they being redistributed? And
- 10:45let me explain with an example. If
- 10:46there were a million designers before
- 10:48and each of them received, say, $ 1,000
- 10:50, then a billion dollars a month was
- 10:52divided among a million people, a
- 10:54little bit for everyone. Now, roughly
- 10:56the same amount of money remains, but
- 10:58it's being divided differently. 80%of
- 11:00it is now taken by the neural network
- 11:02through which the design is being done.
- 11:05Another 15%goes to the top, most
- 11:08experienced designer specialists with
- 11:1010+ years of experience. They still
- 11:13have work, but for the rest of the
- 11:15million designers, only 5%remains. That
- 11:17is, from an even distribution of money,
- 11:20the bulk has gone to some main neural
- 11:22network that solves this task the best.
- 11:25A little more goes to just good
- 11:27designers, and scraps—leftovers—go
- 11:29to everyone else. And the figures here
- 11:30are, of course, conditional, but the
- 11:32trend is exactly that. And the same
- 11:33thing is happening with programmers,
- 11:35copywriters, and editors. This is
- 11:37exactly the stratification of society
- 11:38that I mentioned at the beginning. If
- 11:41before money was divided evenly among a
- 11:42large number of people, now it will
- 11:44settle among a small group of the most
- 11:46advanced. And let's look at how this
- 11:48will affect the lives of two types of
- 11:50people. The first type is a business
- 11:52owner. Well, for example, me. Is this
- 11:54whole thing happening good for me, or
- 11:56bad? Honestly, it's great for me,
- 11:58because I save on staff and increase
- 12:00productivity. Essentially, I can now do
- 12:03much more with much lower costs. I can
- 12:06earn much more. And for me, as a
- 12:08business owner, all of this is very
- 12:10profitable. It all plays right into my
- 12:12hands. Before, I had to pay 200,000
- 12:14rubles for presentations. per month.
- 12:16Now I get them practically for free,
- 12:18for a $ 100 subscription that includes
- 12:20many other tasks as well. If, for
- 12:22example, each direct manager for my
- 12:24Instagram used to receive a salary of
- 12:2740,000 rubles. , and there were
- 12:29sometimes 4-5 people, then now Claude,
- 12:31with that same $ 100 subscription, can
- 12:32sit and reply. I mean, that's at least
- 12:35just on these two tasks. That is a
- 12:36saving of around 400-500,000 rubles.
- 12:39per month. Of course, it is profitable
- 12:40for me. And it’s not just me, but
- 12:42everyone who owns something. Their own
- 12:45company, business, real estate, a
- 12:47restaurant chain, a dental clinic, or
- 12:49some service agency. All these people
- 12:52save on production and staff, become
- 12:54more efficient in the process, and, in
- 12:56fact, even richer. They are already
- 12:57wealthy as it is. And then these
- 13:00wealthy people buy shares of Claude,
- 13:02GPT, and other neural networks, and
- 13:03earn income from there too. And well,
- 13:06the whole system effectively closes
- 13:08itself off. But the second type is a
- 13:09person who has nothing yet, and for
- 13:11them, everything is the exact opposite.
- 13:13Remember how I started? For hundreds of
- 13:15years, there was a wall between the
- 13:16rich and the poor. Then came the free
- 13:18market, the internet, and social media.
- 13:20They punched a hole through it, through
- 13:23which I and many people of my age
- 13:25climbed out. And now this hole is
- 13:27closing up. And the wall itself is
- 13:28becoming much higher. Because if before
- 13:31it was enough to study for a couple of
- 13:33months and you could go sell something
- 13:35and make money, now you need to be very
- 13:36good to get a foothold. You need to
- 13:39study for years and practice a lot,
- 13:41because the entire lower layer of
- 13:43simple work is already being done by
- 13:45neural networks. And this bar will rise
- 13:47every single year. In 2024, a neural
- 13:50network edited better than a person who
- 13:52had been learning to edit for a week.
- 13:55In 2025, better than a person who had
- 13:57been editing for a month. Now in 2026,
- 14:00it edits better than an editor with
- 14:02about 3-4 months of experience. In a
- 14:04year, it will be better than an editor
- 14:06with a year of experience. Then better
- 14:07than an editor with 3 years of
- 14:09experience. Then better than an editor
- 14:10with 5 years of experience. I mean,
- 14:12better than 99%of people in that niche.
- 14:14The rich will get even richer. And
- 14:17those who end up on the other side of
- 14:19the wall will stay there, because it
- 14:20will be very hard to climb over it. And
- 14:24yes, of course, I'm exaggerating a bit;
- 14:26the wall won't rise in a year, and
- 14:27maybe not even in five, and possibly in
- 14:29five years there will still be some
- 14:31jobs you can learn and sell your skills
- 14:32in. But overall, the trend is clear,
- 14:36and I think it's obvious to everyone
- 14:37around, and you notice in your own life
- 14:39, that everything is heading exactly in
- 14:41this direction. And right now, most
- 14:43people are doing one of two things.
- 14:45Either they say: "Well, this doesn't
- 14:46concern me, I'm not a programmer." And
- 14:48they do nothing. Or they run around in
- 14:49a panic like a chicken with its head
- 14:51cut off, and essentially, they don't do
- 14:52anything either. None of that works.
- 14:54This is what works. Previously, a few
- 14:56months of training were enough to give
- 14:57you a profession. Now you need to
- 14:59invest more time. You will need to
- 15:01study for a year, maybe even two. Yes,
- 15:03it's unpleasant, but it's the truth.
- 15:04And the good news here is that everyone
- 15:07else won't be doing this. And while
- 15:10everyone is arguing in the comments
- 15:11about whether it will replace us or not
- 15:13, what it can and can't do, you will be
- 15:14able to reach a point where you will be
- 15:16truly very difficult to replace. Next.
- 15:19What exactly do you need to learn
- 15:20during these years so you aren't
- 15:21replaced? Look, here is how I divide it
- 15:23. There are "button skills" and "
- 15:24decision skills." Button skills are
- 15:26things like making a banner, writing a
- 15:28text, or editing a video using a
- 15:29template. AI is already taking these
- 15:31over. And decision skills are about
- 15:33understanding what to sell to whom,
- 15:35negotiating, organizing people,
- 15:36building a strategy, understanding what
- 15:38will work well here and what won't,
- 15:40initiating a new direction, and
- 15:42following it through to a result. And
- 15:44ultimately, taking responsibility for
- 15:46the result and the money. AI definitely
- 15:48won't be taking over this work anytime
- 15:50soon. And second, learn to manage AI
- 15:53the way you manage a team. Not like
- 15:56asking a chat for instructions and then
- 15:58going to do it yourself, but by setting
- 16:00a task, giving it instructions on how
- 16:03to do it correctly, ensuring it
- 16:05completes the task from start to finish
- 16:07, and then thinking about how to make
- 16:09it perform that task without you every
- 16:11single time, consistently, without
- 16:13extra effort. And remember, I asked you
- 16:16what percentage of your current work AI
- 16:19can already do. And here is your second
- 16:21task. Sit down and list which tasks
- 16:24within your job are "button skills."
- 16:27Well, meaning where you are actually
- 16:29doing some mindless manual work that,
- 16:31in essence, could already be handed off
- 16:32. And, well, where is your work, you
- 16:36know, truly human? Where are you
- 16:39applying your skills and decisions that
- 16:41AI won't be able to handle anytime soon
- 16:43? And focus your efforts on developing
- 16:45exactly that second part. Learn to
- 16:47delegate everything else, and in short,
- 16:49learning takes longer now, but the spot
- 16:51at the top is more valuable because far
- 16:54fewer people will make it there. Okay,
- 16:56so where is the good news here, and why
- 16:59do I say that you still have 5 years
- 17:01after all? The fact is that we are
- 17:03currently living in a very strange
- 17:05period. On one hand, AI is already
- 17:08strong enough to handle really complex
- 17:10tasks, create applications, edit videos
- 17:13, make top-tier designs, develop
- 17:15products, and build teams of AI agents;
- 17:17it can already do all that now.
- 17:20Everything. You can watch various
- 17:22YouTube videos showing what people do
- 17:23with Claude, GPT, and different games.
- 17:25In short, it is already very
- 17:27intelligent. But on the other hand, all
- 17:29of this is distributed very unevenly
- 17:31across the world. I recently received a
- 17:34document at a government office. An
- 17:36elderly lady was slowly typing up a
- 17:38page and a half in Word by hand, taking
- 17:41about 2 hours. And she also made a lot
- 17:44of grammatical errors, added extra
- 17:45periods, extra spaces, and skipped some
- 17:47words here and there. We sat there
- 17:49reading it, checking it, and then
- 17:51rewriting it. It took us 2 hours for a
- 17:53page-and-a-half document. And the
- 17:55people in line behind me were giving me
- 17:57unfriendly looks the whole time because
- 17:58they were waiting for their turn. At
- 18:01that moment, I thought that, well,
- 18:02firstly, it would be cool to at least
- 18:04figure out the internet. Secondly, if
- 18:06there had been a Claude in place of
- 18:07that lady, we would have finished in,
- 18:09like, 30 seconds. And there are plenty
- 18:11of such places where, for some
- 18:12inexplicable reason, unjustifiably
- 18:14mindless manual labor thrives. Various
- 18:18micro-businesses in the regions that, I
- 18:19don't know, just created their first
- 18:21website a week ago, haven't really
- 18:23figured out the internet yet, and
- 18:24haven't even posted their first social
- 18:26media updates. They are probably
- 18:28another 10 years away from hiring AI
- 18:30agents or integrating full-fledged AI
- 18:32into their business. And the main
- 18:34limitation is precisely the mindset of
- 18:35these owners, who simply aren't even
- 18:37interested in this yet. This imbalance
- 18:39exists; somewhere, I don't know, in New
- 18:41York, in some company. Right now,
- 18:4310,000 AI agents are working on a task
- 18:46and solving it. Somewhere else, an
- 18:48elderly lady is typing by hand, and
- 18:50maybe not even on a computer, because
- 18:52she’s more used to keeping her
- 18:53bookkeeping in a notebook. This is a
- 18:55massive imbalance. And the people who
- 18:57will level out this imbalance and
- 18:59implement all of this in places where
- 19:01it hasn't been yet will be able to earn
- 19:03a lot. I have already lived through
- 19:05this once. When I was just starting my
- 19:07journey, there was such an imbalance
- 19:09with the internet and online promotion
- 19:11that any regional business that simply
- 19:13created a normal, basic one-page site
- 19:15plus turned on some simple Yandex ads
- 19:17and threw 15,000 rubles into it......
- 19:19would get hundreds of clients—10
- 19:21times more than all its competitors who
- 19:23were trying to catch the same clients
- 19:25on the streets. A just crazy imbalance,
- 19:29where one simple action gave a gigantic
- 19:32competitive advantage. And a great many
- 19:35people became millionaires from this.
- 19:38They would take some shoe factory in
- 19:40Saratov, make a website, post all the
- 19:43shoes there, and then become
- 19:44millionaires. They would take some
- 19:48construction company in Ryazan, or a
- 19:50log bathhouse builder in Sterlitamak,
- 19:52say it was awesome, make a site, get
- 19:54hundreds of clients, and become
- 19:56millionaires. Then I lived through a
- 20:00similar disproportion with social media
- 20:02, when you just make some information
- 20:03product, a course for 100,000 rubles.
- 20:06You make content about it, post a link,
- 20:081,000 people buy it, and you have 100
- 20:10million rubles. You're like: "What the
- 20:12hell? How is this even possible?" In
- 20:14general, such imbalances happen
- 20:15sometimes. And right now, this is the
- 20:18strongest one, and possibly the last.
- 20:20So, what is your opportunity right now?
- 20:22Become a person who alone replaces 10
- 20:26other team members. Become a person who
- 20:30is simultaneously a marketer, a sales
- 20:32manager running five bots, a designer,
- 20:34a financier, a strategist, a social
- 20:36media manager, and a copywriter. And
- 20:40all this is done by your agents while
- 20:41you just keep an eye on them. Become a
- 20:43person who can simply walk into any
- 20:45business and save the owner a million
- 20:48rubles by replacing a bunch of other
- 20:50inefficient employees. And these kinds
- 20:52of people are going to be in very high
- 20:53demand right now. And it is on this
- 20:55that you can build your capital now.
- 20:56What do I call capital? Actually, not
- 20:58just money. Three things. First, these
- 21:00are your solution-finding skills that I
- 21:02talked about. When you become a person
- 21:05who knows how to solve big problems,
- 21:07like attracting clients, being
- 21:08responsible for revenue, and scaling
- 21:10businesses, then for the next 10-20
- 21:12years, nothing will replace you. If you
- 21:15become such a person over the next 5
- 21:17years, you can consider yourself secure
- 21:19; you will have ended up on the other
- 21:20side of the wall with the wealthy. The
- 21:22second is your own venture or audience.
- 21:25Remember, we said that this whole story
- 21:27is playing into the hands of people who
- 21:29already have some kind of business. It
- 21:31helps them grow. It only hinders those
- 21:33who are just starting out. And within
- 21:35these 5 years, you must become either a
- 21:37person who has their own audience,
- 21:38clients, a blog, or a person who has
- 21:40their own real estate, locations, or
- 21:42business. In short, you need to build
- 21:44something in these 5 years so that it
- 21:46works, and then, once again, you will
- 21:48end up on the other side of the wall.
- 21:51And lastly, money, with which you can
- 21:52always buy something, because when
- 21:54labor loses value, assets will become
- 21:55even more expensive. And these are the
- 21:59three things you will need in 5 years
- 22:00so that when the hole in the wall of
- 22:02opportunity finally closes, splitting
- 22:03the classes into rich and poor for good
- 22:05, you end up on the side of the rich. I
- 22:07know what you are thinking right now.
- 22:09Like: "Misha, what capital? My salary
- 22:11is 40,000 rubles." I also started as a
- 22:13student from scratch. I had no money at
- 22:15all, so the order is this. First, a
- 22:17skill that is increasing in value, then
- 22:19your own business built on that skill,
- 22:21and only then money and assets. Not the
- 22:23other way around. I sincerely believe
- 22:25that the next 5 years are the worst
- 22:27time to relax and rest. Because we are
- 22:30living through the final opportunity to
- 22:33go from not rich to wealthy. And at the
- 22:35same time, 5 years is a lot of time. In
- 22:38that time, you can manage to master
- 22:39in-demand skills that are currently
- 22:41rising in value, start earning from
- 22:43them, build a business, form some
- 22:44capital, buy real estate or assets, and
- 22:46have something to show for it. And for
- 22:50the next 30-40 years of your life, you
- 22:52will either be grateful that you made
- 22:54it through this window or regret that
- 22:56you missed this final opportunity. And
- 22:59lastly, what I promised you at the
- 23:00beginning. Imagine I am 17, I have no
- 23:02experience, no money, yeah, absolutely
- 23:04nothing at all. And I want to become
- 23:06rich in the next 5 years. What would I
- 23:09do? I would start by studying for 2
- 23:11hours a day in parallel with school.
- 23:14Only I wouldn't be learning websites,
- 23:15but would take Claude and learn to
- 23:17solve entire business tasks. Finding
- 23:19clients, creating a product, packaging
- 23:21it, selling it. The neural network does
- 23:24all the manual work, and I think and
- 23:25guide it with my head. Then I would get
- 23:28a job at any business, any company, any
- 23:31job that would take me, and think about
- 23:33how to replace all the employees there
- 23:35with just me and Claude, understand
- 23:37what everyone actually does in that
- 23:39company, what final valuable product
- 23:41they create, and think: can I do it
- 23:44myself together with Claude? And in 90%
- 23:47of cases, the answer will be yes.
- 23:50Literally one person can be automated
- 23:52with a simple program using a voice
- 23:54command. Then I would become a very
- 23:57valuable employee for any company,
- 23:59replacing a marketer, editor, designer,
- 24:02and strategist, becoming someone worth
- 24:04200,000–300,000 rubles. Next, I would
- 24:07start selling services to businesses.
- 24:10Perhaps I would build an agency or
- 24:12create a product so that I wouldn't
- 24:14have to work for just one person paying
- 24:17me a salary, but could take on 10 such
- 24:19businesses, 10 different clients, and
- 24:21sell them something for 200,000 rubles.
- 24:24And again, I would implement this
- 24:26either with my own hands using Claude
- 24:28or have my team do it using my neural
- 24:30networks. I would sell this, gain
- 24:32experience, get better each time, raise
- 24:34my rates, and eventually reach a decent
- 24:37income level. Then I would think about
- 24:39how to build my own business around all
- 24:41of this. And by the way, this is
- 24:43exactly what I am preparing a new
- 24:44product for. How to become a person who
- 24:46replaces ten company employees. This is
- 24:48not a figure of speech; it's really
- 24:50doing what 10 people used to do.
- 24:52Remember, I started with an example
- 24:53about a designer. Previously, the kind
- 24:55of design you see on the screen right
- 24:57now cost me 200,000 rubles. per month.
- 24:59I learned to do it through Claude,
- 25:00developed my own design system, and now
- 25:02it costs virtually nothing. And we know
- 25:04how to make presentations, study notes,
- 25:06and websites like these. Anyone I give
- 25:08this design system to will be able to
- 25:10create the same design and essentially
- 25:13replace a person earning, say, 100,000
- 25:15–200,000 rubles. This is one of ten
- 25:17skills. Also editing, copywriting,
- 25:21competitive analysis, scriptwriting,
- 25:24YouTube scriptwriting, thumbnails,
- 25:26launch sequences, websites, and bots.
- 25:31The essence of the product is that I
- 25:33provide you with 10 ready-made skills
- 25:34that you install into your Claude, and
- 25:36you don't even really need to learn
- 25:38them. Your Claude will know how to do
- 25:40it immediately. You will only need to
- 25:42learn how to use it. You won't need to
- 25:45learn how to build websites; it will
- 25:46know how. You won't need to learn how
- 25:48to edit; it will know how. You will
- 25:49only need to know how to manage it. And
- 25:52that is what my new product will be
- 25:53about. I have very big plans for it.
- 25:55There is a massive amount of
- 25:57development and preparation going on
- 25:59because all these agents and skills
- 26:01really need to be trained to a high
- 26:03level so that they each work like a
- 26:06person worth 100,000 rubles. So it
- 26:08won’t be anytime soon, I think in
- 26:10about 2-3 months. Anyway, if you're
- 26:12interested, just wait for this product.
- 26:15I’ll be announcing everything soon.
- 26:16And I want to end this video with one
- 26:18main thought. The ladder I once climbed
- 26:20is still there, but the lower rungs are
- 26:22already being sawed off. The bar for
- 26:25entry rises every year, and the money
- 26:27goes to those who already have a
- 26:28business and capital. But right now,
- 26:30there is a window of opportunity.
- 26:32It’s that neural networks are already
- 26:34very cool and capable of so much, and
- 26:36they are working, yet most businesses
- 26:38and people aren't using them properly
- 26:40yet. Years ago, six months of study and
- 26:44one imbalance in the world that I
- 26:45noticed pulled me out of
- 26:47Dniprodzerzhynsk. Now there is the same
- 26:49kind of imbalance, only much stronger.
- 26:52But as long as it exists, the door is
- 26:53open. And I really want you to make it
- 26:55through before it closes. That’s all
- 26:57for now. Bye.
