I’m telling you, the best thing you can do is forget about it straight away. Everything you think you know about success and career is becoming obsolete faster than you can even imagine.
AI has just blown the doors off. Boom! Those high-paying jobs you were eyeing in 10–20 years’ time? They’ll likely be gone in five. The ones that remain will be absolutely unrecognisable. 80%, maybe even more of what you thought you’d do to achieve your desired lifestyle has effectively evaporated.
Unless you seriously up your game and offer real value, you’ll be replaced – either by someone using AI, or by AI itself. No question.
Look at today's most successful businesses. CEOs openly admit to extremely flat management structures, communicating directly with engineers, bypassing multiple management layers.
Jensen Huang from NVIDIA speaks to his engineers and developers daily.
Elon Musk has been known to sleep on the factory floor to find immediate solutions to problems threatening Tesla or SpaceX.
How do you fit into this new world? Still dreaming of becoming the Programme Manager? Director of Strategic Planning or some other dinosaur equivalent?
You’d better wake up now. By the time you’re out of your current job, it’ll be too late to mitigate the impact on you and your loved ones.
Skills and experience? Overrated for most jobs today, and frankly, they have been for a while.
The ultimate asset of the future is access to people and information. Mark my words.
There’s just ONE thing standing between you and professional oblivion – your network.
It’s simple: people aren't going anywhere, regardless of AI. You won't be able to take control of the money or technology. But control people and you'll own the marketplace regardless.
Thanks to AI superintelligence and the sheer power of quantum computing, learning and mastering complex skills will soon take mere days or even hours, not years or decades.
Inventing those skills would actually take longer than maximising their potential.
But building a strong network? A top-notch network giving you an inside track to people and information takes serious work to build. Years of it. But it won’t ever be as easy as it is today.
People are still the key, AI or no AI.
Everything you want in life depends on your ability to connect with others. And the only way to do that effectively in the professional world? Networking.
It might feel awkward or overwhelming now, but mastering this skill is crucial for your future success.

Commitment: Networking takes time and effort, you need to be willing to put in the work.
Patience: You’d be surprised how much people can achieve in 10 or 15 years. Don’t let yourself regret not putting the effort into building relationships with people you’ve met.
Awareness: Be aware of your surroundings and the people you’re interacting with.
Curiosity: Master the art of asking the right questions. Your value will soar.
Listening: Without listening, you will learn nothing.
Memory: Remember names, details, conversations and always follow-up. It shows you care.
Communication: Strategic communication involves knowing not only what and when to speak, but also what to withhold.
Confidence: Commitment creates habits, habits develop skills, and skills, in turn, build confidence.
You’re a natural listener: This is a huge advantage. As the saying goes, “Two ears, one mouth.”
You’re not alone: Many successful people are introverts.
Quality over quantity: Focus on building genuine connections, not just collecting business cards.
Listening leads to better questions: The more you listen, the more insightful your questions will be.
Less is more: The less you say, the more curious people will be about you.

Your network is your most valuable asset.
Genuine relationships give you access to the people and information you need to get what you want.
Set aside regular time each week. Even a few hours can make a difference.
Integrate networking into your routine. Focus on improving one skill at a time.
