…But I’m Not Missing the AI Wave..
I have been thinking a lot about AI (Artificial Intelligence, not Allen Iverson), and have been trying to envision the broader outcome of what AI is going to mean to all of us and where the opportunities are going to really lies as we move forward (and what we can become).
The reality is that AI I isn’t just changing the way we work, it’s changing WHO gets to create.
Today, you don’t need permission to build something amazing. You don’t need a publisher, an agency, or a boss.
You just need an idea, a willingness to learn, and the right tools.
That’s exactly what we’re building the next evolution of Wealthy Affiliate around... a platform that has been designed to help everyone establish their brand, create content, reach an audience, and earn income in this new world. A new world that is creating (no pun intended) an exciting wave of opportunity.
You are not too late...don't worry.

This is the biggest wave of opportunity since the birth of the internet. The difference is, this one’s moving faster. Probably at a speed of 5-10x that the Internet grew.
When I started out, I felt like I had missed a load of opportunity. The domain purchasing frenzy had just ended, and people were buying up single word domains and selling them for millions of dollars. I remember when Business.com sold for $350 MILLION. Damn, if only I was aware of the domain thing a bit earlier.
Well, I am viewing AI as the new ground floor opportunity. You are on the FREAKIN' ground floor.
The people who start now will be the ones leading the next decade of online business. Those who wait will be learning from the ones who didn’t. And those that never take any sort of action, will be likely working for those that are taking action (or buying their products/services from them).
Every person who is here, and reading this is building a foundation for their brand, their business, and their independence.
All powered by AI. Powered by a community that understands AI. And within an environment that is going to do everything it can to help you become a purposeful creator in this new world.
The wave has started. It’s here. And there’s never been a better time to build something of your own.
That's all. Just wanted to vent my excitement for the future.
Are you going to be surfing on this wave? Let me know below.
