Early, intelligent adopters build moats while others debate if the technology is "ready."
Just as companies have a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value, you have an obligation to maximize your own economic potential.
Look at what happens when companies aggressively adopt new tech (source):
NVIDIA: $3.624 T
Microsoft: $3.134 T
Meta: $1.452 T
Alphabet: $2.150 T
Amazon: $2.234 T
Apple: $3.441 T
Figures as of time of writing (Nov 14th 2024).
Tech is the only sector where tens of trillions in market cap are being created, largely driven by AI adoption.
More than the GDP of every country except the US and China.
More than the entire US banking sector.
More than all global automotive companies combined.
As a freelancer, consultant, or digital worker, your business deserves the same aggressive adoption of technology that drove history's greatest wealth creation.
It's not about being a smooth brain tool junkie who signs up for 500 free AI tools. That's amateur hour.
It's about deeply mastering 1-2 core tools (for me it’s Claude & ChatGPT) and aggressively extracting value.
Quick reminder this has all happened before:
- Email marketing pioneers crushed direct mail costs
- Early SEOs dominated organic traffic
- First Facebook advertisers got penny clicks
- Early content marketers owned their niches
- Initial marketing automation users scaled faster
- First programmatic ad buyers found arbitrage
Leave the doubters behind!
