A side business sounds sexy, right? Extra income. Freedom. Maybe even the chance to finally fire your boss and call the shots. But here’s the part most people won’t tell you: A side business isn’t just about making money. It’s about reclaiming control. Because let’s be honest, most jobs don’t give you that. You trade time for money, follow someone else’s rules, and pray you won’t be replaced by an intern or an AI. And if the paycheck stops? The whole house of cards comes crashing down. A side...

Last week, I was on a call with a friend who uses AI for everything. Work? AI. Emails? AI. Date night ideas? AI. And yet, despite using AI more than most, he was frustrated. "Why do my AI responses sound... generic?" he asked. So I asked him a simple question: "How do you write your prompts?" His answer? "I just tell it what I need." Classic mistake. See, the quality of an AI response is only as good as the quality of the prompt. And most people treat prompting like ordering fast food—short,...

Let me ask you something: What stops most people from starting a business? Lack of money? Nope. Plenty of million-dollar businesses started on a budget. Lack of time? Not really. Some of the best businesses were built while juggling a 9-5. Lack of ideas? Bingo. People get stuck trying to come up with the perfect business idea—something exciting, profitable, and, ideally, not already done a thousand times. And in the meantime? They stay stuck. Months (or years) pass while they wait for...

There’s a lot of chatter about AI “stealing jobs” and replacing humans. Scary headlines. Doomscrolling. But here’s my take: AI isn’t stealing jobs—it’s removing the busy work. It’s taking the mundane, repetitive tasks off your plate so you can do what you’re best at: creating, strategizing, and building meaningful connections. Let me show you how I’ve been using AI: Automating the boring stuff.From managing repetitive tasks to data entry, AI handles the grunt work so I can focus on the...

Here’s the truth about working with AI: The output is only as good as the input. Think of it this way—your prompt is the map, and AI is the traveler. Give it vague directions, and it’ll wander aimlessly. But provide clear, detailed instructions, and it’ll take you exactly where you need to go. Over the past year, I’ve learned that writing better AI prompts is like mastering a secret language. Let me share the essentials: 1. Be ridiculously specific. A broad prompt like “Write a tweet about...

Can I let you in on a little secret? Your first product will never be perfect. And you know what? That’s more than okay. Perfection is the enemy of progress. Yet, so many creators spend months, sometimes years, tweaking and tinkering, waiting for some magical moment when their product is “ready.” Spoiler: That moment never comes. Here’s what I’ve learned: Launch before you’re ready.There’s a good chance your audience doesn’t care about the tiny details you’re obsessing over. They’re looking...

I still remember walking out of another failed interview, wondering what went wrong this time. Did I talk too much? Not enough? Was my answer to “What’s your biggest weakness?” way too honest? If you’ve ever left an interview second-guessing everything, you know how soul-crushing it feels. For me, it wasn’t just one bad experience, it was a recurring nightmare. I kept stumbling over tricky questions, struggling to stand out, and watching opportunities disappear. But then I got tired of...

Imagine this: You’re trying to explain a tricky concept to a friend, and halfway through, you lose them. This happened to me several times until I found the Feynman Technique. It’s not just a method for learning—it’s a game-changer. It’s how physicist Richard Feynman approached some of the most complex ideas in science, and he made them so simple even a sixth grader could understand. The idea is straightforward: If you can’t explain something clearly to someone else, you probably don’t...

Every time I write an AI prompt, I feel like a wizard casting a spell. Think about it. A well-crafted prompt? Lumos! AI lights up brightly. A generic prompt? Expelliarmus! You’re disarmed and powerless. The better the “spell” (aka prompt), the better the magic (output). That’s why I spend a lot of time perfecting mine. And that’s why you should too. Now, what if I told you I’ve crafted a spell specifically for conjuring fresh, innovative ideas? Let me introduce you to “The Brainstormer”. This...
