The job market has never been more uncertain. Layoffs, reorganizations, and a looming recession mean you can no longer rely solely on traditional employment for your livelihood. Moreover, artificial intelligence (AI) has arrived and threatens many traditional roles, including marketing, finance/accounting, law, operations, HR, and recruiting.
It's long been known in entrepreneurial circles that having your own business is the path to freedom from economic uncertainty. While the arrival of the internet birthed many new ventures, the arrival of AI has created new freedom, allowing you to start your own business in as little as a weekend.
If you're looking to start a new side hustle and want to set the foundation to breaking out on your own, this webinar can help you understand how combining your expertise with traditional business approaches and infusing AI can get you to revenue faster than ever, all with lower operating costs.
You'll learn:
- Why Side Hustles are the Key to Future-Proofing Your Career: Gain valuable entrepreneurial skills while hedging against economic uncertainty.
- How AI Provides the Launchpad for Your Business: See how AI tools can accelerate everything from branding and marketing to automation and networking.
- The Quickest Path from Expertise to Revenue: Leverage what you already know to provide valuable services and products in demand.
- Real-World Examples of Expertise-Driven Businesses: Get inspired by success stories across industries.
- And much, much more!
