quick AI money hacks.

Hey friend, 

I had a call with a friend a couple of days ago. 

She’s also building in the alternative education space. She has an incredible story, very similar to mine and is doing some incredible things.

She sent me a message after our call as she was boarding a flight to Senegal, 

“Hey Jay! One question:

What do you think is going to happen over the next 5 years to the “easy to make money jobs” that will most likely be replaced by AI entirely?

I’m afraid it’s going to be harder and harder for young people to hustle their way to financial freedom.

I’ve already seen this happen. 6 years ago I was running a school for young entrepreneurs and our goal was to help them make a muse (see Tim Ferris’ passive revenue concept) – think dropshipping, e-books etc. This doesn’t work as well anymore.

For me too financial freedom is super key in whatever I’m going to build next to support young people, but I’m unsure for how long this is going to be working.

Maybe it isn’t necessary to think too long term and just focus on what is true today?“

I thought this was a great question.. this is what I replied…

“You’re right. 

If we focus on whats working now… quick strategies and hacks to make money fast- this won’t be sustainable. Drop shipping is already kinda impossible, there’s too many wanna-be copywriters and high ticket closers. Every 21 young male with a bit of drive is trying to start a marketing agency. 

The truth is, if someone makes a lot of money online via a quick hack or luck in crypto or some new AI tool, fb ads etc.- it’ll actually do more harm than good if they didn’t learn the underlying principles of wealth.

Wealth is very important to a great, empowered life. If we wanted to create a new generation of schools, to miss wealth would be to miss most of the thing. 

But these little make money hacks aren’t about true wealth.

Then what is wealth?

Wealth creation is the creation of a higher order. 

The wealth you receive is in direct proportion to what you move from disorder to order. 

energy seeks its highest level of organisation. 

wealth is energy and therefore will be received by those who are creating a higher level of order & organisation in the world. 

if you want to be wealthy. create a higher level of order to resources currently around you. And if you do well with the little, you will be given much.

Thats the sort of philosophy we need around wealth creation.

These ideas are timeless. 

If we impart these ideas in a meaningful way, the kids will never have to chase money. 

Wealth will be inevitable.

Because in truth, the wealth is never missing.“

The truth is friend, if we want to create a new education that can help billions of kids, instead of just 10,000 or so… we need to create something better than just another Iman Ghadzi course.

We need to create a philosophy much stronger than just making money online.

A philosophy that can scale to every kid in the world.

A philosophy that awakens the innate genius & creator in all of us.

So we can all go into the unknown, & create new frontiers, which is always positive sum, versus fighting over the scraps of what has already been discovered, which is zero sum.

Also, whats the point of teaching someone to be financially free, if they then spend the next 15 years of their life just chasing a better Rolex and prettier girls, cooler trips or any other sort of treadmill (not to say theses are bad things), at the expense of their true creation that would have been much greater, and much more meaningful to themselves and the world?
