We got rain and it’s cooled down! More spectacle than act.Thinking… can you really start your own business? What if the reality was that you were only going to close 1 out of every 4 deals? That is, the vast majority of people will reject you. To put this into perspective, if I’m teaching 100 students in a university class, that means, if it was on my own, I would’ve had to contact 400 students before the final registration numbers were in. And that’s to say nothing of the all the admin work and other bureaucratic work that needs to happen to get everything in line.But, the difference is that on your own the world is your oyster, your playground, your place to play. LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, XHS, etc. All free. But you’re in competition with EVERYBODY else who can do the exact same thing.Will AI editing take away jobs? Or just mean you have to do more on your own? And more people will be able to do it?And course creation continues!And what is gerrymandering? Would you trust cooked chicken on the counter top over night? Waste a food I guess.Donate to the show!
