5 things you need to know if you feel like making money is HARDER than ever before.


First of all, I'm here to tell you you're not just imagining it.

We do live in a time where resources seem scarce, competition becomes more aggressive, and we keep feeling like we're "late" to something.

No matter how much you're trying to keep up, for some reason, it still feels like you're almost, always missing your train 😥

BUT,

Knowing these 5 things can actually help you understand what's going on in the job market, and help you plan better for your future ⤵️ ❤️

1) Knowing how businesses "spend money"

A few years ago, when a client had a problem or when they needed copy, a design, a strategy, a piece of content, their first question was: Who should I hire for this?

That question today, is different. Before a client even considers outsourcing, they run through a different checklist:

Can AI handle this?
Can someone in-house figure it out?
Is there a cheaper tool that does this automatically?

2) Building your personal brand is no longer an option, it's a must.

Visibility used to be a competitive advantage, but now, it is just the minimum requirement to be taken seriously.

You need it, but having it no longer sets you apart from other people. So if you haven't put yourself out there, it's the perfect time to start.

3) People become more “protective” of their recommendations

Why?

Because putting someone’s name forward is a reflection of your own judgment. If the person you recommended delivers poorly, that reflects on you.

And a lot of people started to understand the stakes of recommending someone. Some decided to stop and be more “selective” at who they’re recommending.

People only vouch for people they genuinely know, have seen delivered, and feel confident putting their reputation behind.

4) Audit your current skills's shelf life

Some skills have been partially or fully automated. Some niches have become oversaturated.

Some formats that used to require a specialist can now be handled by a generalist with the right tools.

5) Fake experts are taking over since AI

AI has made it possible for anyone to sound knowledgeable nd present themselves as an expert EVEN without the actual depth, experience, or track record behind it.

To fight this, you need to level up by showing your actual results, and build connections and networks that can vouch for you.

If you ever feel lost, I hope this email helps you in finding your way again 🫶
