🏗️ Building Your Cathedral in the AI Age
How to Build Your Cathedral
The old life path was an assembly line: school, job, save, retire. That's breaking down.
The new path is more like hunting than farming.
- Farming = steady, predictable, wait for results
- Hunting = try things, fail, adjust, then results explode
This is the hockey stick curve - a long flat period where nothing seems to work, then a sudden breakthrough.
How to survive the flat period:
- Celebrate small wins - less frozen, better teamwork, clearer thinking
- Keep your North Star clear - know what cathedral you're building
The new career strategy:
- Build Skills, Assets, an Audience, and Options
- Things AI simply cannot take away from you
Success isn't one thing mastered - it's many skills converging over time. Move carefully, but always keep moving.
