The Rules Change

The rules change, and they aren’t always fair. In which case, you have two options – complain and stay still, or accept, keep moving forward, and push your own change from within. Nothing is set in stone; everything you think is set in stone is not. The Internet changed that, and AI is changing it again. Rules change and evolve, don’t fight it, embrace it.

Can you do it all?

Probably? Maybe? Doubtful. So do you delegate? Accept less? Quit Quietly? Perhaps you want to do it all, maybe you need to do it all, but the truth is that you can’t do it all.  That realization can come too soon, or very late, where feelings of regret and failure seep in.

I had to winterize a hot tub this weekend. I have never done this in my life. I watched YouTube, I asked ChatGPT, and I looked up the model I had. In the end, water was everywhere, the power was off, and it took longer than I thought. Such is learning, that’s exactly what it is – and now I know how to do it better for next season. Don’t turn that goodness completely over to AI; you’re doing yourself a disservice if you do that. Take your experiment, make it up, jump in, and work the problem. It’s the

What can’t AI do?

It’s the same problem as before. What other people can’t do, you do. If AI can’t build it, then you build it. If AI can’t figure out how to sell it, then you sell it. But don’t make the mistake of ignoring it. Incorporate it, work with it, understand it, learn from it, incorporate it. Microsoft was able to famously say, “The Internet was a fad”. Microsoft also had billions of dollars behind it to pivot to reverse that decision. You don’t build it now.
