Everyone Should Think Like They’re Self-Employed.

Yes. Everyone!

That doesn’t mean quitting your job, starting a business, and becoming an entrepreneur.

It means taking responsibility for something extremely important:

YOU!

Your employer may sign your paycheck, but YOU are responsible for your career.

Companies change. Bosses change. Industries change. Technology changes. Opportunities appear—and sometimes disappear.

That’s why I believe everyone should Build Their EXPERT Stool NOW—before they need it.

Picture a three-legged stool with EXPERT on the seat The three legs are:

SPEAKING. WRITING. TECHNOLOGY.

Speaking demonstrates your expertise.  "Speaking Opportunities are Business, Career, and Leadership Opportunities!" Speaking Opportunities aren’t limited to standing in front of an audience. Meetings, networking events, interviews, sales calls, podcasts, videos, and one-on-one conversations are all opportunities to demonstrate what you know.

Writing documents your expertise.  Articles, posts, emails, proposals, newsletters, and books give your ideas permanence. Writing also forces you to clarify your thinking.

Technology amplifies and leverages your expertise.  Websites, social media, video, podcasts, email marketing, SEO—and especially AI—can take your expertise farther and faster than ever before.

But remember:

AI doesn’t create your expertise. It helps you leverage your expertise.

And here’s something important about Building Your EXPERT Stool:

The more you use each leg, the more you build it.

• Every presentation builds your Speaking skills.

• Every article and post builds your Writing skills.

• Every time you use Technology—including AI—to promote YOU and your expertise, you build your Technology skills.

The learning is in the doing.

You don’t become an expert and then start Speaking, Writing, and using Technology.

You become more of an expert BY Speaking, Writing, and using Technology.

Each time you do it, you learn.Each time you do it, you improve. Each time you do it, you build your expertise.

That’s why the time to Build Your EXPERT Stool is BEFORE you need it.

Don’t wait for a career change, a lost job, or an unexpected opportunity to suddenly realize you should have been building it all along.

BUILD IT NOW. USE IT. KEEP BUILDING. BE READY.

When opportunity knocks—or circumstances change—you’ll already have something solid to stand on.

And that can make your future absolutely, positively—
