4 daily AI routines that will change your life
AI has arrived. People are losing jobs already. Every big tech company in the world has been doing nothing but laying off people for the last few years. Nonstop hiring freezes, and I think this will spread to most other industries.
You need to be making yourself layoff proof. You need to make it so that even if you lose your job, your life isn't impacted at all.
You do this by creating revenue streams only YOU control. You don't control your salary. Your boss can take that away from you. You don't control X ad revenue. Elon can take that away from you.
But if you build goods and services that generate revenue, NOBODY can take that away from you.
Not only do you become layoff proof, you gain a bullet proof mentality knowing you control your destiny. Anxiety and worry start to melt away.
But how do you build your own goods and services? I think it comes down to one skillset: your ability to incorporate AI into your life.
Your ability to co-work with AI on every challenge, problem, and question you have. The more you engage with AI on a day to day basis, the more goods and services ideas that will come to you.
Let me give you an example: I'm currently growing my Youtube channel. My most successful videos on Youtube have been on-trend videos. For instance, Claude Code is trending big time right now. Every time I create content on it, I gain significantly more subscribers. So I went to ChatGPT to ask how I can keep on top of what is trending in AI.
The response it gave back was mind blowing. It walked me through step by step on how I can build an app that continuously monitors Youtube and surfaces trends to me in real time. Now I'm building the app out and will be able to launch it as a product when I'm done that will passively earn me revenue.
This is on top of the $300,000 I’m already making with my AI content app Creator Buddy.
This all came from my ability to recognize situations where I need to incorporate AI into my workflow. I wasn't even looking for goods and services ideas. I just wanted guidance on how I can find trends.
Now I have another product that makes me even more layoff proof.
The challenge that most people have is they are waiting for the perfect idea. The perfect moment to strike for them to build something of their own. That perfect idea rarely happens.
What you need to be doing is increasing your luck surface area. Increasing the odds great ideas come to you.
You do this by incorporating AI into every little activity you do during the day.
Here's my challenge for you. If you do this challenge for even just ONE DAY I promise it'll change your life.
Every time you:
• Have a question
• Start a new task
• Don't know how to do something
• See someone else do something mildly interesting
• Have free time
Turn to AI and just run it through the model (I like ChatGPT o3 at the moment). Get feedback. See what it has to say. I guarantee your workflow and your life will change dramatically.
AI will provide you perspective on every single task you do throughout the day and will explain to you either how to do it more efficiently or how to turn it into a money making product.
You’ll look at every single action you take day to day completely differently. You’ll maximize your output and increase your luck surface area. Way more ideas will flow to you and your odds of building something that changes your life will increase dramatically.
Do this for a day, everything will change. Do this for a month, you are almost guaranteed to succeed.
Seriously, try this for just one day. Report back to me via email or DM on much your work flow transformed.
