What’s some shit you can do now with AI that most people don’t realize yet

[Sir Bustalot]

Do you think most of the worlds desperately poor wake up and say "im poor as fuck, can barely afford to live, cant afford medical care or to send my kids to school, may not eat today or tomorrow, but what makes me most proud and makes it all worth it is i have autonomy and agency over my life!"?

im willing to bet most of the desperately poor would give that fulfilling dignified life up to work for higher wages at any company doing anything and have to ask for holidays

It’s not corporate speak lol. It’s just business period. Whether it’s a small business or a large corporation.

The fundamentals do not change and the tail doesn’t start wagging the dog just because you are an owner/operator

If you lose a contract, that’s you being fired

If you take an L in revenue, that’s you being fired and forced to attain new customers, that’s the equivalent to looking for a job after losing it and requires the same amount of effort to sell yourself just like you’d need to sell your business.

Everyone is on a proverbial hamster wheel.

As stated before, what you described was retirement, because someone has to make the high-risk decisions and come up with strategies to move a company forward, protect investments, revenue, keep creditors happy and make sure the product is up to standard. That shit is important and there is no auto-pilot button for that, especially in this economy.

This is cope speak.

If you go to a grocery store to buy grocery, are the people who buy groceries the grocery stores boss?

Everything isn’t relative. Being an owner/operator and working in corporate as a non-owner/operator isn’t the same thing, at all.

You’re speaking in hyperbolic hypotheticals. “We all gunna die” “we all gotta eat” “if you lose a contract, it’s like you’re getting fired” - that’s even if your business has a business model like that

It’s not about that

It’s about autonomy & agency over yourself and your life.

I’m not coping with anything. I’m perfectly fine.

But I’ve come to the realization is that this is all about you wanting to not feel like you have to answer to anyone, even though you still do and that’s okay - whatever makes you feel good, I’m all for it. It ain’t that deep to me.

This is another example that takes away from the point.

If it ain’t that deep it would be pretty easy to acknowledge what I’m saying without minimizing the whole point, and using a bunch of non-relative examples to try and bridge the gap because it makes people uncomfortable.

Being an owner operator, you can opt out of several formalities that make you feel like you’re being managed like a kindergartener. You can build towards yourself, your assets, by your own rules. And to most successful business owners, that is their #1 purpose. There is a deep, fundamental difference between employment and ownership. The hyperbolic examples will never bridge the gap.

If you don’t understand that, that’s the filter you’ve put over your own thoughts to not see clearly.

I sense you getting defensive so Ima say this and move on to another topic. You're arguing psychology, while I’m talking operations.
Nobody is hating on equity or escaping corporate politics, that’s a clear perk of running your own show. But replacing a middle manager with client demands, market shifts, and cash flow doesn't mean you answer to nobody. It just means your "boss" no longer has a title.
This is why most men prioritize livelihood over feelings. We aren’t interested in feeling our way through life - we focus on the realities. Autonomy gives you control over the wheel, but it doesn't control the weather - again, the tail ain’t gonna wag the dog, the market will always be the market. Cash flow still calls the shots at the end of the day, whether you like my phrasing or not.

Operationally it’s not even close either, way to wipe out nuance and factual information

Simple question: If three renters wreck vehicles back-to-back and your insurance carrier threatens to pull your fleet policy, who are you answering to?

Simple answer

Most people use their own insurance on their CC, or buy online insurance. Out of 3 maybe 1 will use our insurance, and 9/10 chances that all vehicles won’t be a total loss.. it’ll be like a bumper smash/scrape, side swipe or chip on the windshield.

So not a single soul, that’s the damage department problem to make sure insurance pays up

I guess when I owned my landscaping company …. My customers weren’t my bosses

Exactly so…

If a renter fucks up a vehicle and you need their credit card company or online insurer to pay up, you are at the mercy of their claim approval. If they deny the claim or stall payment, your shit sits on the lot not making you any bread while eating carrying costs, right?

Having a damage department deal with that doesn't mean you have absolute autonomy. It means your entire business model is tethered to outside financial institutions and risk management.

Just because you delegated the task does not mean you ain’t answering to someone. The insurance company gets to decide whether that car gets paid out and put back on the road, not you.

And even if they are just bumps and scrapes, when you decide to sell them off, now you gotta sell them for less than you would if they didn’t have those bumps and scrapes right? That’s more revenue being impacted downstream due to elements you’ll never be able to fully control. That’s the point I’m making.
