I know plenty of people who are not casual users at all. They’re extremely advanced users who pay $20 for ChatGPT Plus simply because they can’t afford $100 or $200 every month.
Calling them “casual” because of their subscription tier is like:
→ calling a professional gamer casual because they can’t afford an RTX 5090
→ calling a brilliant researcher casual because they use a cheap laptop
→ calling someone an occasional driver because they can’t afford a Ferrari
Price measures purchasing power. It does not measure expertise, intensity or ambition.
Some of the heaviest AI users I know are on Plus precisely because $200/month is a ridiculous amount of money where they live.
Bro to bro- do not try entrepreneurship if you don't have a high tolerance for uncertainty. For long periods of time, you genuinely won’t know if you’re early, wrong, unlucky, or just stupid. You need to be cheap before you can afford not to be. Because raising money and burning it is easy. Building something people are willing to pay for is hard. You need high self esteem and a low ego and you've to be comfortable being wrong, looking stupid and changing your mind. Most importantly, learn how to lose without becoming a loser. Because you’re going to lose a lot- money, people, deals & time. Just don’t lose your ability to think clearly. And btw, don’t go looking for motivation. It is useless after a while. What you really need is stamina. Both physical & mental.
@_tioluwanimii Speak for yourself. Not for me and two other people I know and sure of.
Not saying they’re great everywhere but I can’t see a statement like yours and not speak my own experience.
This is how to predict your future:
I made this tweet yesterday:
“The closest prediction of your future is the result of the top guy in your industry. If you beat them, then you are an anomaly.”
A few people asked me to explain, so here goes -
If you are a doctor, the top guy in your industry is the CONSULTANT.
His life is the best possible outcome of your future - because it is the end game of your career path.
Which means, if he earns ₦800k a month, your future top earning will be around ₦800k, plus everything & the life that income gives him.
You will not escape this end game - NO MATTER how hard you work. Because the game is capped.
Which means, the best way to make more than ₦800k and have a life significantly better than the Consultant is NOT to work harder; it is to EXIT the game he is playing.
Working harder will simply accelerate you towards the unfavorable end game. So why play it?
Which means you need to find a player that has the life you want.
In the case of the hospital, it can be the doctor that owns a hospital chain.
So if your end game is to be rich, then the hospital chain doctor's game is the best play. Not that of the Consultant.
End games are scattered all around us.
If you are a teacher, you can look at the principal or highest-paid school administrator.
If you are a banker, look at the branch manager, regional manager or executive director.
If you are a lawyer, look at the senior partner of the law firm.
If you are a civil servant, look at the director or permanent secretary.
If you are a footballer, look at the highest level you can realistically reach in that career and ask yourself if that life is what you want.
If you are a taxi driver, look at the guy who has spent 20 years driving and ask yourself if you want his end game.
If you are playing the JAMB => university=>NYSC =>9-5 game, look at where the person 20 years ahead of you ended up.
If you are an entrepreneur selling products online, look at the biggest person playing the same game. Trace what game they are REALLY playing, instead of just working hard.
You must ask: “Do I even want his end game? or do i need to play a different game”
Because if you don't like the destination, working harder is actually a bad strategy.
Current situation in Ife East Ward 10 (Modakeke ward 3): The police have started firing tear gas at us at the RAC centre. We had already assembled and were fully prepared to move to our various polling units with the election materials alongside the INEC officials before this unfortunate incident occurred.
