What To Do With These Trends

So, one of the burning questions I’m getting asked based on subjects like this is, “Will AI replace me?” 

Or will the current recession scare that’s looming on the horizon jeopardize my job?

Look, no one can truly predict how things will turn out because that’s beyond our control.

But in my 25+ years of field experience and humble opinion…

What you CAN do is make sure you’re always armed & ready with the latest info on current tech.

What you CAN do is stay up-to-date with industry know-how & relevant trends.

You CAN always strive to improve your skillset & build a solid network.

This way, you’ll always be in demand regardless of how things turn out.

Because that’s EXACTLY how I survived (& even thrived) over the decades, no matter the “scare” or its consequences.

So, if you seriously want to separate yourself from the pack and gain an elusive edge in your career in 2023
