0:02If you are wondering how you can
0:04leverage this epochal AI revolution to
0:07earn unimaginable amounts in a fraction
0:10of the time, to earn like a top manager
0:13, even while working part-time and
0:15without killing yourself with work,
0:18this video is for you. In this video,
0:23however, I will say some things that,
0:26spoiler alert, you might not like, but
0:28which will be fundamental for you to
0:31understand how to leverage or not
0:33leverage this unprecedented AI
0:35revolution. I will say things I have
0:38never said in a video, and I will share
0:41them in five points that will give you
0:43a completely different perspective than
0:45what you hear in all the other videos,
0:47in all the thousands, tens of thousands
0:49of social posts talking about AI,
0:51talking about how to earn, talking
0:53about how to automate, talking about
0:54all these things. And the goal of this
0:57video is for you to reach the end of
1:00these five points with a new
1:02perspective that can truly change your
1:05life. Let's start with the first point,
1:09which is perhaps the only one that
1:12those who have followed me for a while
1:14might have already heard from me, but I
1:17want to present it in a new light, and
1:19it is this: today it is true, everyone
1:22talks about the opportunity of,
1:24everyone talks about the opportunity
1:26offered by...but everyone forgets one
1:29thing: that opportunity is not just
1:31about saying yes, but opportunity also
1:34lies in saying no. Every time there is
1:39a revolution, every time there is a
1:42major change, the opportunity that FOMO
1:45brings us is always one-way, and it is
1:48always the opportunity to jump on the
1:51bandwagon. It is always the opportunity
1:55to say yes, big change, we must be the
1:58first to jump in, we must, um, how to
2:04say, devote our entire business to this
2:06change, right? When social media
2:09arrived, and now AI has arrived, well,
2:12for some time now, we have to be
2:14present on social media, on all social
2:16media, we have to be present, use AI as
2:18much as possible. Well, in recent years
2:22, because we've been talking about AI
2:24for years now, I've been seeing a
2:26number of people moving as if they've
2:29had their heads cut off, and any type
2:31of update comes out and they are crazy
2:34as if, um, their lives were about to
2:36change. Well, I talk about, uh, being
2:44able to earn like a top manager, I talk
2:46about being able to do it even
2:48potentially part-time. In this video,
2:51we will understand how and I speak as
2:54someone who doesn't use AI—I mean, I
2:57practically don't use it. Now I will
3:01make you understand how I use it very
3:04little, but basically my entire
3:06business—and I know very few
3:08freelancers who bill what I bill. I
3:10know very few freelancers who have a
3:12business as solid as mine. Practically
3:15my entire business is without it. So,
3:19at this moment, I am the example—
3:21sorry if you hear an idiot on a
3:22motorcycle revving his engine, thinking
3:24he’s being clever right outside my
3:26house. I am currently the clear example
3:31of someone who saw the opportunity and
3:33also saw the other side of that
3:35opportunity. I understood that every
3:39wave creates a counter-wave if you do
3:46it consciously. The thing I’ve always
3:50said is that today music is mostly
3:52listened to either on Spotify—so, in
3:55a completely dematerialized way,
3:57without matter, without physical
3:59contact—or vinyl is coming back into
4:02fashion. Photos are mostly taken on
4:08phones, but Polaroids have still had a
4:10huge boom in popularity. The market is
4:14becoming polarized. There are those who
4:16use AI and have 100%seized the
4:18opportunity to use it, using it fully
4:21and truly knowing how to use it, and
4:23there are those like me who don't use
4:25it and develop other opportunities that
4:30we will see now in this video. But the
4:33first thing I want to tell you is that
4:34opportunity is always twofold. It’s
4:37the opportunity to say yes and the
4:38opportunity to say no. Maybe in 10
4:41years I’ll say: "Oh my God, how much
4:43did I miss out on by not using it?" So
4:46far so good. For now, things are going
4:49great, and I’ve been hearing for at
4:51least 3 years that if you don't use it,
4:53you’ll disappear from the market and
4:55there’s no place for you. My business
4:59hasn't seen any decline so far. Ok? In
5:0310 years it will be different; maybe in
5:0510 years I’ll be doing different
5:07things because my business worked so
5:09well that I’ll be able to sit and
5:10write books on a beach. The possibility
5:13of doing that exists. You don't have to
5:16conform to the dominant dogma that you
5:19must use AI, you must use AI, you must
5:22use AI. The second thing I want to say
5:27is that what I’m seeing is that
5:33there’s a trap, and it’s the number
5:36one trap for those jumping on the AI
5:38bandwagon, especially those who want to
5:41use AI to automate and reduce their
5:44work time. We will also talk about this
5:46topic in a later point. What is the
5:50trap? The trap is that I see a lot of
5:54people automating useless tasks—
5:56people who find enormous satisfaction
5:59in saying, "Ah, see, this thing I would
6:02have done in 3 days, instead I did in 2
6:06hours." Ok. But did you need that thing
6:10? Did you really have to do it? Well,
6:14um, you know, I just started tinkering
6:16with it and had fun—I mean, they do
6:19useless things. So, if you want to be a
6:23complete minimalist and you want to say
6:25, "I want to work less and earn more,"
6:30It’s not by doing more things faster,
6:33more useless things faster, that
6:34you’ll get there. You'll get there by
6:38doing fewer things, doing things that
6:41are highly impactful, highly impactful
6:43and strategic activities, by cutting
6:49out the useless things, removing the
6:51useless activities. Well, it's bringing
6:55a level of confusion that was already
6:57in the minds of people, of
6:58professionals: an incredible confusion.
7:01And these headless people, like
7:02chickens with their heads cut off,
7:04running around flailing, they do a ton
7:09of things they could easily not do, but
7:11they do them super, in a super
7:13efficient way. They are very efficient,
7:17but they are not very effective. And
7:19this is trap number one, that is,
7:25let’s ask ourselves, do I really need
7:29this activity before thinking about how
7:33I can automate it. This is fundamental,
7:36but it requires a clarity that we will
7:40get to now, okay? In a later point, and
7:42as the third point, I want to try to
7:44make a shorter video than the others.
7:47For once, I want to try. The others are
7:49always an hour, an hour and a half long
7:50. By the way, some of them are lessons
7:53that should be paid for. Also, if you
7:55are new to the channel, subscribe and
7:57take a look at the other videos too,
8:00because there is a mountain of value
8:02and every week I publish videos that
8:04have crazy value. Connecting back to
8:07the point of value. The third point I
8:11want to bring you to provide a
8:21different point of view—actually,
8:23I’ll add another point, while I’m
8:25at it, that just came to mind now,
8:29which is this. We are so driven by FOMO
8:35that we jump on new tools. As I was
8:39saying, right? A new version of ChatGPT
8:42comes out, a new version of Claude
8:45comes out, a new tool...We have this "
8:48Shiny Object Syndrome," meaning we see
8:51these little shiny things that the
8:53market and big tech propose to us on a
8:56daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and we
9:00feel a duty, we feel like we have to
9:02use them, and we are always looking for
9:07the newest and latest shiny tool. Let
9:12me explain something. Last night I had
9:15to make an important decision. It was
9:20Saturday night, I had the chance to go
9:22out, there was a party, a festival, a
9:25whole series of beautiful things, but
9:27deep down I felt I had that decision to
9:30make. I spent the day surfing, it was
9:35wonderful. After that, in the evening I
9:38said, "I'm not going out, I'm staying
9:40home, not so much to rest, but to think
9:45and feel this decision." In the end, I
9:48made this decision. How did I make it?
9:51Did I make it with ChatGPT? No, I made
9:54it with a deck of tarot cards. I’ve
9:58used a tool that has existed for
10:00centuries—if we want to go back even
10:02further, we can reach millennia if we
10:05talk about archetypes and a whole
10:07series of things, just as I have always
10:10done. Maybe before I used the I Ching,
10:13now I am using tarot cards more. Or
10:16sometimes when I have to make a
10:17decision, I simply start to meditate.
10:22But there are tools that are not the
10:24latest shiny toy everyone is talking
10:27about on social media, but are tools,
10:30technologies that have belonged to man
10:33for millennia, forever. And this drives
10:39me crazy, I mean people know everything
10:42about the new ChatGPT model, but they
10:44know nothing about how their mind works
10:47. They don't know anything about how it
10:49works, about how the laws of nature
10:51work, they know nothing of what is in
10:55ancient texts, in ancient wisdom, and
10:58has been completely lost. And I can
11:02guarantee you that a deck of tarot
11:04cards helps you much more, casting the
11:07I Ching coins helps you much more, than
11:12asking ChatGPT. It’s a different kind
11:15of knowledge, but it is an immensely
11:17more powerful one. Meditating helps you
11:21more than quieting your monkey mind,
11:25right? Your mind that never stops and
11:29never allows you to see things with
11:32clarity and reach a deeper state of
11:34consciousness that illuminates the path
11:37, that makes it possible to make better
11:40decisions. Well, this thing is not,
11:44there is no FOMO because it has always
11:46existed; and since we don't have FOMO,
11:51since the possibility of stopping and
11:53meditating has always existed, we just
11:55leave it there like: "Oh well, yeah,
11:57maybe one day, but for now let's go
11:59discover Claude," and we are missing
12:01out on true knowledge, the important
12:03stuff, the stuff that changes our lives
12:05. Fourth point, it was important that I
12:10add this. Fourth point, let's get more
12:12into a business theme. So, let's say
12:15that you want to earn—then the title,
12:19maybe I'll change it because I do tests
12:22every now and then, but the title I
12:24would like to give this video is um,
12:26how to earn like a top manager while
12:28working half a day, 4 hours a day, okay
12:30? We want to earn like a top manager.
12:33Now, it depends on the definition of a
12:35top manager. Let's say we want to make
12:39um 10k a month, 20 a month, 30k a month
12:41, 50k a month, 80k a month, whatever
12:43you want. Okay? It doesn't matter what
12:47the figure is, that's not so important.
12:49In any case, more than average, much
12:51more than average. Okay? Um, there are
12:55basically two ways that are not
12:57mutually exclusive, but that are
12:59somewhat two different paths that a
13:02person can follow. There is the path of
13:04quality and there is the path of
13:06quantity. The quality path means I have
13:09few clients who pay me very well
13:11because I bring very high value. The
13:15quantity path is I have many clients
13:19who pay me tendentially little or a
13:23medium amount, let's say, with
13:27medium-low or low quality. So, what is
13:32the problem? The problem is that when
13:36you go to—and we’ll see this in the
13:39last point—this thing very well, when
13:41you go to use AI to do things you used
13:46to do yourself, you often end up
13:50lowering the quality of what you do;
13:54meaning, you definitely do it faster,
13:57you can do that thing more quickly.
14:02Often, however, it is not the same
14:06thing with writing, with creation, with
14:12content. This thing, uh, is glaring.
14:16But not only that, because if I am a
14:19coach right now, and I help my clients,
14:22and I am on a call for my clients, with
14:25my clients, I can pick up on certain
14:28things, I can grasp nuances, fears;
14:31these are people I know, I can employ
14:34and bring to the table human
14:36sensitivity. It's a fact. I can
14:40automate my coaching with an AI, with
14:42an AI coach, it is not the same thing.
14:46It is much faster, it is much more
14:48scalable for the person who says, "Eh,
14:50well, this way I can work little and
14:51earn a lot"—well, you can work little
14:53, but the problem is earning a lot.
14:56Because to earn a lot by selling
14:59something that has a lower quality, you
15:02have to sell large volumes, and unless
15:05you have a million followers—and even
15:08in the case you have a million
15:11followers, watch out, because many
15:13followers don't equal many clients,
15:16okay? It shouldn't even need saying,
15:18but I'll say it anyway. Unless you have
15:21a million followers, where are you
15:23going to find 1000 clients? Or more,
15:29and many people today I see maybe
15:32trying to build SaaS, micro-SaaS. It is
15:36a model I also recommend to members of
15:38Funky Lancers, my mastermind, the
15:39people I support and mentor. Uh, but I
15:42recommend it with some caveats, some
15:49specifics, because if you try to create
15:51—it’s the startup problem—meaning
15:54: "Oh look, I thought of a € 10-
15:56a-month software that will
15:58revolutionize the market, it will
16:00become the Spotify or the Uber of...
16:02insert the name of the market, horse
16:05riding, the Uber of horse riding," so
16:07to speak. Okay, kid, but if you earn
16:11€ 10 a month per person, how many
16:14people do you need? What kind of
16:17bloodbath are you getting yourself into
16:19? It is much simpler to have 10 clients
16:24paying you € 1,000 a month, or three
16:27clients paying you € 3,000 a month to
16:31reach 10,000, rather than having a €
16:3410 service price and needing to reach
16:371,000 clients. Okay? Having 1,000
16:41clients versus having three, which is
16:43easier? In my opinion, having three. So
16:48the simplest path to reach certain
16:51figures, 10, 20, 30 K a month, is not
16:54so much the path of quantity. The path
16:59of quality is simpler, but it is not
17:02easy, because to provide a quality that
17:06makes a client pay you 2, 3, € 4,000
17:09a month, € 5,000 a month, damn, you
17:16have to be really good; and not just
17:19good in your technical sector, like
17:22doing Meta ads very well, but you have
17:25to be truly good at a whole series of
17:28relationship and communication skills,
17:31empathy; you have to be centered
17:34yourself. You might have to manage
17:38budgets of hundreds of thousands of
17:40euros a year, well, you have to stay
17:42centered at the very least, right? So,
17:48quantity versus quality. What I see is
17:51that many people are lowering the
17:52quality of what they do to speed it up
17:54using AI. Let’s add that they then do
18:00useless tasks that they speed up
18:02because they automate them, and they
18:05are in a loop, a vicious circle where
18:07they do many things poorly, automated,
18:10and end up working just as much while
18:12earning even less, and then they say, "
18:15Yeah, but you know, it's hard today?"
18:19It is hard because you are avoiding the
18:21real work, which is your inner work, as
18:27we will see in the last point, but
18:29actually, let's put the last point now
18:31and then put the other one later. I'm
18:33going freestyle. The last point is
18:38temporary skills versus eternal skills.
18:43It is really cool that you learned vibe
18:46coding, cloud code, agents, and all
18:49these things. It is beautiful.
18:51Everything you learn becomes useful and
18:55fills the basket of your skills. But
18:59there are skills that will perhaps last
19:03a few years, and there are skills that
19:05are eternal. I mean, in the last Funky
19:09call, a guy came on who said, "I
19:12realize that I have these emotional ups
19:15and downs. I close a client, I get
19:19excited, everything is great, I don't
19:21close the next one, I get down and I am
19:24overcome by discouragement." Well, this
19:29is an eternal skill: your centeredness,
19:32your equanimity, your ability not to
19:36swerve, not to be a weather vane in the
19:40wind with the currents of life. This is
19:45a great skill; it’s not the skill of
19:472026, it’s the skill of being human.
19:51It is the skill that was Seneca's skill
19:53, just as it will be the skill 500
19:54years from now. That’s what I’m
20:01saying: maybe go read a philosophy book
20:06, maybe go read some texts—sacred
20:13texts or the Vedas, I don’t know, or
20:16the Bible if you want, or even more
20:21modern philosophers, let's say, but go
20:24read and study knowledge that
20:27withstands centuries and millennia.
20:35Clearly, you might say, "Well, look,
20:38there’s that brand new startup I saw,
20:41crazy, maybe I’ll invest in it, it
20:44could give me a wild return." Yes, but
20:49that startup might not exist tomorrow
20:51because that startup has a one-year
20:53track record. That startup could give
21:00you a much higher return than the S&P
21:03500 or gold. Okay? Maybe gold will even
21:09drop in the short term, maybe okay, but
21:11gold is gold; I mean, gold has had
21:13value for 5,000 years. I mean, gold is
21:18something that has always signified
21:22certain characteristics throughout
21:26human history. The tech startup in the
21:31AI bubble might not be around tomorrow.
21:34Yes, maybe it makes you more money in
21:36the short term, but are you building a
21:40career with what you’re doing, or are
21:43you looking for a shortcut? Are you
21:45looking for a get-rich-quick scheme?
21:46Because I’ve seen people over these
21:48years who were looking for a way to
21:52make money, I’ve met many, the way to
21:55make money with dropshipping, the way
21:58to make money selling courses, back
22:01when everyone was selling courses. And
22:05then these people come to me after 8
22:07years and say, "Ah, Jacopo, you know, I
22:09caught that trend at the time, I made
22:11some money, but then the trend ended
22:13and I was left with nothing." The other
22:17day a guy says to me, "Look," very
22:20intelligent person, very capable, very
22:22grounded, very aware. He says: "Look,
22:27I’ve reached an enviable point where
22:30I have two online businesses, they take
22:32very little time, they bring in enough
22:35money for me to live comfortably, he
22:37doesn't live in Europe, he lives abroad
22:40.""But I realize that if tomorrow my
22:45two sites are taken down by Google or
22:47hacked, I’m left without a business."
22:54If your idea now is "I’ll make
22:57content," like a faceless channel with
23:00AI content, because it’s working now
23:04and it’s the thing of the moment.
23:08Sure, but maybe in two years it won’t
23:09work anymore. Maybe in 2 years and the
23:13social platforms get together and
23:15decide, you know what? Let's make some
23:17rules that ban, exclude, or shadow-ban
23:22channels completely; what do you know
23:24about that? Okay, it's clear that I'm
23:31not telling you don't use technology,
23:36don't ride the trends, but I'm telling
23:38you where you're putting your attention
23:40, where you're—what are you training?
23:44Are you training something outside of
23:46yourself that Meta could take down
23:48tomorrow, or are you training something
23:50inside yourself, qualities and skills
23:52that will stay with you for your whole
23:54life? Unless a flowerpot falls on your
24:01head while you're walking down the
24:02street tomorrow, no one can take your
24:04mind away from you. I mean, the more
24:09you challenge your inner limits, the
24:12more you become aware of your own
24:14mechanisms, maybe even the
24:16self-sabotaging and limiting ones you
24:18have inside, the more you soar, you end
24:27up manifesting realities that you'd say
24:29"That's impossible" to right now, and
24:30you don't need Her. This brings us back
24:34to the fact that the technology you're
24:36ignoring is your own technology. The
24:39intelligence you're ignoring is your
24:41own intelligence. If you're trying to
24:44do things, making AI do useless things
24:46when you could be training yourself to
24:49do things that are more useful and
24:51evolutionary for you. And the last
24:57point I want to bring you, so here, um,
25:02there's this point of what I just
25:03touched on regarding a quick, fast way
25:08to earn money versus a career, meaning
25:11something that will go on over time and
25:14bring you growing satisfaction over
25:17time versus skills that are popular
25:19today but might be gone tomorrow. Eh,
25:24and skills that will stay with you
25:25forever. There's a guy from Funky
25:27Lancers who, by the way, is a big fan
25:29of AI, so we also welcome people who
25:31work in the AI world, but absolutely,
25:33someone has to work in this world after
25:35all. However, I want to bring you a
25:37different point of view. This person,
25:41this great professional, uh, his name
25:44is Michele, he tells me: "Look, they
25:46brought me some students for work-study
25:49programs, because he has a small
25:52company, a small agency and, well,
25:54small in the sense of not having 200
25:57employees and 60,000 offices, the...
25:59yeah.""The prerequisite they gave me is
26:08that these people, these high school
26:10kids I'm supposed to have working in my
26:13company, in my agency, have to use
26:15tools, software that is what their
26:18teachers taught them to use." and he
26:22says, "The problem is that this
26:23software is already obsolete." So these
26:26kids are learning skills and software
26:29in school that are already obsolete the
26:32very moment they graduate high school.
26:37It’s the same thing. If school taught
26:40you patience, taught you to develop
26:44higher states of consciousness, helped
26:49you develop awareness, and not just to
26:55memorize things, but to actually use
26:58your mind and perhaps even your heart.
27:02Well, no one can take those away from
27:05you, even when AI is taking over and we
27:07live in a world of robots. I have the
27:13utopian dream that a person with a
27:15heart will still find a position in the
27:17world, a place in the world. Enough
27:23with the utopian part. Last point,
27:26fifth point, which is actually 5, 1, 2,
27:293, 4, 5, 6—sorry, sixth point,
27:31because I added one. And this is a
27:36point that I want to make and must make
27:38for all those people who want to reach
27:44their goals while working very little.
27:48Meaning, "I want to reach 10k a month
27:50working part-time.""I want to reach 30k
27:54a month without working more than 6
27:58hours a day." Perfect. Very well. This
28:02video was all about how to get there.
28:06The point isn't that you can't reach it
28:08, the point is that the path is
28:09different from what you imagine. And
28:12that is the point. The point is, how do
28:16you really reach 10k a month part-time?
28:22You don't just get there, based on my
28:26experience. You don't do five part-time
28:30, then do ten part-time. No, you get
28:35there by doing ten while working 12
28:38hours a day, and then maybe doing ten
28:44working six, and then maybe doing ten
28:48working four. But first, you have to go
28:52through the "I'm doing it, but I'm
28:55working like crazy" phase. Usually,
28:59another way is I reach 10 working
29:05full-time, 12 hours a day, then I reach
29:0920 working 12 hours a day, then I
29:17downgrade from 20 to 10 and I no longer
29:20work 12 hours a day, I work five or
29:22four. That is how you get to make 10k a
29:28month, 20k a month part-time. That is
29:32the reality of things. So, the reality
29:35is that many people, it's like saying,
29:37eh you take a person who has trained
29:43their whole life, their whole life, and
29:45now they train a couple of times a week
29:47and you see, wow, they have a great
29:49physique. Yes, but how much effort did
29:53they put in to build that foundation?
29:58If you have never trained in your life
30:00and you train twice a day, you probably
30:02won't have the physique that person has
30:04. Now, I’m not a personal trainer,
30:05but I try to use examples. Okay? So the
30:08downgrade, that’s the lesson, is
30:11always available. I mean, you can
30:14always decide to say, "I'm doing 10,
30:16man, but I'm working really hard, you
30:18know what? I'd rather do five part-time
30:21." You can always do that, it's always
30:24possible, but the point is that you
30:28have to push past your limits to reach
30:31the next level. It’s challenging to
30:35reach the next level. If there’s no
30:36challenge, there’s no growth. So if
30:40you think, "Ah, I want to reach that
30:42situation where I'm not really
30:44challenged but I earn well," that will
30:47probably be a downgrade, not a
30:49destination. Everyone I know who
30:53doesn't want to work too much is capped
30:55, they’re stuck, which is fine,
30:58that's totally okay. Okay? From the
31:01other perspective, we also need to look
31:02at the other side of the coin. People
31:05who have trained themselves to grow and
31:08challenge themselves more and more—so
31:10they got to 10 by working really hard,
31:12then hit burnout, scaled back, and
31:15learned to do in four or five hours
31:17what used to take them 12. Those people
31:22are the same ones who can't stay
31:24downgraded for long because they are
31:26people who want to do things, people
31:29who want to grow, people who don't want
31:31to rest on their laurels. So,
31:34paradoxically, it's as if to those who
31:36have, more will be given, and to those
31:37who do not, even what they have will be
31:39taken away—meaning those capable of
31:40challenging themselves won't just find
31:45it impossible to reach high levels;
31:47they'll find it almost impossible to
31:49downgrade. Conversely, those who aren't
31:56capable of challenging themselves will
31:58have exactly what they want taken away:
32:00the possibility of reaching a good
32:02level while staying relaxed. I don't
32:07want to make this a universal rule,
32:09there are specific cases, but this is
32:10what I see. In most cases, this is how
32:13it has been for me as well. This year,
32:17in the first few months, I did a
32:19downgrade, I worked much less, very
32:23much less than last year, but I wasn't
32:26satisfied. Now I'm working more and I'm
32:29much more satisfied. Now, I don't want
32:32to get into it. Since some people tell
32:34me—lately I've started talking about
32:36Human Design, every now and then in a
32:37video I've included a reference—they
32:39say to me, "Jacopo, you have to talk
32:40about Human Design." The projector is
32:42the generator. Now, for the projector
32:45type, the projector tends to avoid
32:48working, or rather—there are various
32:51types, of course—but that person
32:53wants to try to achieve results by
32:56putting in the least amount of energy
32:59possible. The generator, on the other
33:03hand, is the one who tends to find
33:05satisfaction in their work, if it's the
33:07right work. Okay? So, these are two
33:12different challenges, for sure, but
33:13both people will have to challenge
33:15themselves in some way because if there
33:16is no challenge, there is no growth.
33:21Maybe the projector type, or the type
33:24that wants maximum results with minimum
33:27effort, is the kind of person who would
33:30welcome a downgrade to go to the
33:33mountains in their free time, to go
33:36surfing, to do a whole range of things.
33:40The generator is the one who will say:
33:41"Yes, okay, now I have a half-day free,
33:43in that half-day I'll start doing other
33:45things I want to do." Okay? So, I've
33:47given you two simplifications; maybe
33:48you don't know anything about Human
33:50Design, it doesn't matter. See these
33:52two types regardless of what we call
33:54them, and maybe one of the two speaks
33:57to you more. Okay? I know people who
34:00have the dream, they keep telling
34:02themselves, "Look, I'd like to work
34:04half-days so I can go to the beach, go
34:06to the mountains, go traveling." Then,
34:09as soon as they reduce and start
34:11working half-days, they do it for a
34:14week or two, working half-days. Then
34:17they get back to building something,
34:19they get back to creating something
34:22else. Okay? So that's how it works. If
34:28you stay in your status quo and your
34:30lack of challenge, you won't level up.
34:35You can do that downgrade, choose to do
34:38that downgrade because you have
34:40mastered that level, you have mastered
34:42the 10k a month level, so you can do it
34:45part-time. To master the 10k a month
34:49level, you must have challenged
34:50yourself in something you hadn't
34:52mastered. And that also requires hours
34:54worked per day. Okay? Is the concept
34:57clear? Perfect. So what I wanted to
35:00tell you—and all the points connect
35:03here too. Challenging yourself to get
35:06to the next level isn't something you
35:08do only with AI. You'll have to close
35:11clients, okay? You'll have to talk to
35:13those clients. AI won't talk to them
35:15for you. Those are human skills. Want
35:19to make all your content with AI? Good
35:22luck. Honestly, I have some doubts that
35:27it can really work that well and get
35:29you who knows how many clients. So,
35:33let's remember and do a big recap. I
35:35wanted to keep it under 40 minutes,
35:37we're just about there. Every
35:39opportunity is twofold, so you have the
35:41opportunity to say yes, but you also
35:42have the opportunity to say no. And
35:45neither is inherently a bigger
35:46opportunity, it's just that FOMO is
35:49usually all about the yes. Two, the
35:54number one trap of AI is ending up
35:57doing useless things very efficiently.
36:02Be aware of this and be present with
36:05the tasks you are about to do. Do I
36:09really need this, or am I just getting
36:11a dopamine hit from the efficiency and
36:14speed I took to do it, while the task
36:16was useless from the start? Point three
36:20, there are new tools, the ones
36:22everyone is talking about, and there
36:24are ancient tools. Ancient tools have
36:29existed for thousands of years. There
36:32must be a reason, and I’ll leave it
36:34at that. Fourth point, quality versus
36:39quantity. It is much easier to reach
36:44certain figures with quality rather
36:47than quantity, by selling tailored
36:50services with our presence at high
36:54value and high price. It is simpler,
36:58but not easier, because we have to
37:01challenge ourselves personally, and for
37:03many people, that is not easy. Fifth
37:08point, a downgrade is always an option,
37:10but you don't get to 10k a month
37:12part-time by going from 5k a month
37:13part-time to 10k a month part-time. You
37:17get to 10k a month part-time by
37:19reaching 10k a month full-time and then
37:22becoming even better, figuring out how
37:24to spend less time, or by reaching
37:2610-20 k a month full-time and then
37:28deciding to downgrade to 10. Some
37:32people are fine with this, others will
37:34then want to do other things, and it's
37:36ok. Ok, sixth point. Last point, uh, I
37:40mixed them up because I put them in,
37:42sorry, the sequence I had before, the
37:45last two are inverted. Temporary skills
37:48, eternal skills, meaning there are
37:50skills like the tools we mentioned
37:51before, right? There are skills that
37:54will remain yours forever. If you start
37:58making YouTube videos, you can, one,
38:01I'll give you an example, not learn how
38:03to speak. I might have spoken poorly in
38:05this video, but we understood each
38:07other; some videos go better, some go
38:09worse. You can, choice number one, not
38:13learn how to speak to a camera and use
38:15Cloud Code to edit the video
38:17automatically, without spending your
38:19time. Ok? You will be very good and
38:23very efficient at editing videos, but
38:25you won't have learned how to speak on
38:27video. Or you can train yourself to
38:31make 40-minute, hour, or
38:33hour-and-a-half long unedited videos
38:36that force you every damn week to try
38:39and be capable of speaking for 40
38:41minutes without a cut, like I am doing
38:44right now. There isn't a single cut in
38:50my videos. I hit record, I talk, I hit
38:53record again and upload to YouTube. I
38:59haven't learned how to edit them
39:00automatically with Cloud Code, but
39:02hopefully I'm learning how to talk. You
39:06decide which of the two skills might be
39:08more important. This was my framework.
39:12These were my six counter-trend points,
39:16perhaps for managing to thrive in this
39:19era, in the age of the AI revolution.
