Don't Sell Your Soul—Sell Your SKILLS.
Everybody knows how to do something, and that includes you.
And guess what?
That means you can teach someone else.
And whatever you can teach someone, you can sell to someone.
…And I say that without a shred of snake oil. Knowledge is what makes our world go ‘round. Now, more than ever, you can build a business in which your know-how is the product.
You don’t need a store front. You don’t need any investors. And you definitely don’t have to be the next Harry the Great in order to be “qualified enough” to teach something you know—you just have to be someone who cares enough to.
Knowledge is the hottest product out there, and we’ve all got inventory.
Most people just let it sit in the warehouse of their minds, never realizing there’s a marketplace.

Do We Do Now?
Answer: We get creative. We throw fireballs. We slam coffees. We run like Mario through a desert field as the hurry-up music kicks in. And we build businesses that are so memorable, so iconic, so subversively cool, they’re untouchable. Even by AI. Even by the French.
