Many technological advances come with a healthy dose of fear, and that has definitely been the case with AI - especially with writers and artists.

"Why would someone pay me when they can just ask an AI to generate something for them at virtually no cost?"

This week, I have an answer...one that gives me the right to gloat a bit.

Since the beginning of the A.I. craze, I have maintained that A.I. is a tool...An extremely powerful tool that works best when wielded by a skilled artist.

On this episode, you'll hear about an "A.I. Artist" who is making $1,500 an hour using this tool - and he's completely upfront about who (or what) is doing the heavy lifting.

Key Insights

• ​​A.I. will help us, not hurt us (IF we use it correctly)
• ​My earlier email from the Daily Ray (details below)
• ​Use A.I. as your "Unfair Advantage"
• ​The article about the titular artist (linked below)
• ​Why didn't the company just use the same tools the artist used?
• ​"We don't care how he makes it. We only care that the end user enjoys our game." (let that soak in)​
• ​Sign up for our upcoming free workshop about building your writing business

I make no claims to be a financial expert, and I'm not handing out any investment advice or the like. What I'm sharing today are 7 things that I'm doing to prepare for a tougher economy which seems to be looming ahead.

Some of these are so simple that you may be tempted to skip them...don't. I'm doing everything I can to make sure that my business continues to thrive while weathering any storms that lie ahead, including each and every one of these steps:

1. Recognize the season - For the world, for you, and for your business
2. Check the Basics of your business - Know the state of your List, Traffic, Conversion, and Retention
3. Gather Your Assets - Get an accurate read of what your assets really are​
4. Go Premium - Shift to premium offers for premium clients
5. ​Be Essential - Put yourself in your client's shoes...could you live without you, or would you get cut?
6. ​See the Opportunity in Adversity - Sounds bad, but it's not. People struggling need help. Provide them the help that you are able to render.
7. ​Guard Your Mind - Disconnect from the news, the social sewers, and as much negativity as possible. Be conscious of what you're feeding your brain. Worry solves nothing.

I want to talk to you about the incredible power of writing.

The power of storytelling.

And how it can help you connect with your divine purpose. Yes, even if the writing you do is marketing or sales copy.

That’s the subject of this week’s podcast episode.

In the podcast, I propose the idea that we writers are, in a sense, prophets. And as prophets, we are tasked with spreading a message of love, hope, and purpose to the world … through our work.

I know it’s a little “out there” - but it’s short.

• Books that inspired me to become a writer (a storyteller)
  
• Writers create Worlds
• We should transport our readers, viewers, and listeners to somewhere good
• I literally copied people's work...but not to steal - to learn
• Regardless of the business you're in, you're telling a story
• Writing is not a job...it's a noble calling
• Whatever you're writing, do it as an act of devotion
• Your words have power
