Join an entrepreneurial team, do an entrepreneurial side hustle, read some entrepreneurial books, watch some entrepreneurial videos that are out there, start the process of thinking, okay, the school system taught me to be a standardized employee, a standardized labor.
The school system wanted me to fit in with an office or a factory.
But actually, there's this whole other way of creating value, which is non-standardized called entrepreneurship.
This is spotting opportunities and coming up with solutions to it.
So, you know, play around with the game, even if it's a small game.
Like you might notice that there are dirty cars on the street and you might say, you know what, I'm going to go and knock on doors and wash the cars and see if I can make a couple of hundred bucks in the day because I've seen an opportunity.

Baby boomers want to get rid of their businesses.
They want to retire.
Baby boomers are willing to fund you to buy their business if you present yourself well, if you've got a little bit of a personal brand.
So that's a huge opportunity.

So, you know, that's a great opportunity.
Play with these toys called AI tools.
