Hey royals,

Confession: I noticed something today...

I had a couple of consult calls today. And I realised something... slightly uncomfortable. A lot of people don't have a strategy problem.

They have a timing problem.

This is exactly what I'll be breaking down at Investopia this weekend - but let me show you the pattern first.

Let me take you back.

25 years ago - the dotcom era.

Simple websites were going for $20k-$30k.
(And that was when $20k actually meant something 😅)

Why?

Because it was hard.
Supply was low. Demand was crazy.

The early movers?

They made money fast.

Then what happened?

Everyone jumped in.
Supply exploded.
Price wars started.

Then came the PSG era in Singapore.

A basic $3-5k ecommerce site suddenly became $10-15k.

Not because it was worth more.

But because the subsidy created artificial demand.

Again, people made money.

Until... everyone started doing it.

Then came crypto.

Bitcoin went from cents... to $100k+.

Early movers? Multimillionaires.

Late movers?

Bought at the top.
Held the bag.
Called it a "scam". 😅

Every single time, it's the same story:

And guess where most people enter?

When it feels safe.
Which usually means...
They're already late.

(And this is exactly why timing matters more than talent - something I'll unpack deeper at Investopia.)

Almost every conversation I had today sounded like this:

"I think I'll wait a bit more."
"I want to be more ready."
"I'm still observing."

And in my head I'm thinking...

If it's working so well right now... why are we even having this call?

(Not judging - just being real.)

Because when something is truly working for you:

You're not hesitating.
You're scaling.

This is exactly what's happening with AI.

We're not early anymore.
But we're also not late.

We're somewhere in the most dangerous phase: Where people are watching instead of building.

Here's the rule I've learned after ~27 years building in tech:

Don't be the first.
But never be the last.

And most importantly: Don't start when you're "ready".

Because "ready" usually means:

Which means... you're entering the downtrend phase.

People always say: "Buy low, sell high."

But emotionally?
Most people do the opposite.

They buy when:

And they sell when:

That's why most people don't win.

Not because they're not smart.
But because they're late.

If what you're doing right now isn't working... you already know. You don't need me to tell you. Just check your bank account.

(Yeah... a bit harsh. But also... true.)

So the real question is:

This is exactly what I'll be breaking down at Investopia.

Not theory.
Not hype.

But how to actually position yourself inside the AI wave right now, specifically through:

Because the game isn't: "Is AI big?"

We all know it is.

The game is: Where are you entering the cycle?

I've been saying this since I was 10: "I want to upload my consciousness to the Internet."

People used to look at me like I was crazy.

Now?
We call it AI.

Funny how that works.

Sometimes what feels "too far" is just something the world hasn't caught up to yet.

You don't need to be Steve Jobs.
You don't need to be Elon Musk.

But you also don't need to sit on the sidelines waiting for permission.

If you're still in the "I'm watching" phase...

Come for this.

I'll show you exactly how I'm thinking about this cycle - and how you can position yourself before it gets crowded.

XOXO,

P.S. If you're already convinced, you're late. If you're slightly uncomfortable reading this, you're right on time. 😏

Wistia's new AI Video Marketing Trends report shows how marketers are using AI to handle the unglamorous work, so creative energy stays where it matters.
