I’m not one to give advice. Truth is, I need to take my own advice.
AI is amazing. Not just in a “nice tool” kind of way. I mean, it’s too good to ignore. It has changed how things are done, and if we’re being honest, mostly for the better.
Many of us are now able to do things we never dreamed of doing.
Last week, I made a short animation video. In my widest dream, I never imagined myself bringing to life my thoughts with just a few prompts.
With AI, I visualized my imaginations with just texts. Nothing serious, just the Grok tool, and for free! I didn’t have to spend years learning animation.
Say what you want about it, these tools are doing something real. They’ve pushed us into a new phase, and whether we like it or not, this period will be remembered for it.
And yes, people are making money from it. Real money. Some are hitting numbers that don’t even make sense at first glance.
You and I? Sadly we are not there yet.
That’s probably why you are reading this.
Maybe you’re expecting something practical. Something that shows you how to tap into it and finally get your own share.
I won’t pretend that’s what this is.
This is just something you need to hear.
There’s this feeling that AI gives us. The “I can do anything” illusion. And it’s convincing.
You can code without knowing how to code(unless you’re learning, please don’t do this). You can design without understanding design. You can make videos without ever touching editing software before.
So naturally, your mind goes there. Maybe this is it. Maybe this is the thing that finally works.
But the thing is, you are not the only one having these thoughts.
Thousands of people are sitting with the same idea. Same excitement. Same plan to “figure something out” and turn it into something big.
Everyone nurturing their own mega million dream that they will achieve with AI.
That’s where the problem starts.
Because in the rush to try everything, you start leaving behind the one thing that actually belongs to you. The thing you already know. The thing you’ve spent time building, even if it doesn’t look like much yet.
You drop it too quickly.
You move on too fast.
And before you realize it, you’re scattered. Trying a bit of everything, finishing nothing.
So instead of jumping on everything that looks promising, slow it down.
Look at what you already do.
There has to be something. Writing. Designing. Coding. Selling. Even if you’re still figuring it out, there’s a direction you’ve already started moving in.
Stay there.
Refine it.
Use AI if you want, but use it to support what you already do, not replace it completely.
Let it make you better at your thing, not distract you from it.
Because the people who actually get something out of this won’t be the ones chasing every new tool.
It will be the ones who focused on what they already had and used these tools to go deeper, not wider.
So before you jump on that next AI trend, pause.
Not everything is ours to chase.
