People focus too much on tactics and not enough on positioning. Making your first $5k online is as much psychological as it is technical. That realization hit me after reading Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller

I love the realism here. Most 'AI experts' claim we’ll all be replaced, but Aaron’s point about needing a human at the start and end of every process is much more grounded. AI is a superpower for people who already know their craft, not a magic 'skip' button for expertise.

Definitely validating for me to hear that my current work is heading in the right direction and not to worry too much about the big models eating my work.
