We are in a time where old paradigms are falling behind in what we call history. The way we perceive ourselves, our society, and our financial systems are on the way to a huge transformation, not only with the presence and development of AI but also with a change occurring within each one of us, an awakening to our dreams that pushes us towards the next step of evolution.
Within this new perception, we are experiencing a great monetary shift where it is vital to make a switch into the digital branding world. With the help of AI, it is now easier than ever to be creative, to sell, and to develop personal branding strategies we’ve never thought of developing before.
The era of the personal brand
The era of the personal brand has always been present; it is the next step of personal monetary evolution. We are conditioned since we are kids to work for others, helping other people develop their own monetary freedom while limiting ourselves from all the greatness that we can achieve through creating something of our own.
We can now create almost anything we want in a matter of minutes with the help of systems that can create images, movie-making models, all the way to AI coaching services, and other systems that will revolutionize our online presence into something we can call dystopian. I like to use the idea of shifting into a new perception of reality, where abundance is inevitable.
What is a personal brand?
Our personal brand is an extension of who we are and what we offer to the world. When we combine the things that we love and conceptualize them in a way that can bring a service to others while monetizing it, we create our personal brand.
Doing what we love + helping others = the perfect combo for a life made of our own power and dreams. Our life is ruled by the ideas we have of ourselves; we perceive ourselves in a way that can either help us grow or keep a state of stagnancy.
The IKIGAI
There is a concept that can help us determine what it is that we want to bring to the world, to our society, and to ourselves, our human purpose is to serve each other.
This is a Japanese concept called the IKIGAI. We can create our IKIGAI by combining what we love, what the world needs, the things we are good at, and the things we can get paid for.
When we find our IKIGAI and conceptualize the service we bring for others, we have our personal brand. With it, we can go beyond the old paradigm of “time is money” into “Time is art,” a view where we are the creators of our destiny.
The AI revolution
In the past couple of years, the AI advancements our society is facing are going beyond the current structures in the world, bringing more opportunity for time management, creativity, collaboration and authenticity for ourselves to develop as people and as a brand. With models like:
GPT - for brainstorming ideas and organizing them in order to bring them into reality.
Midjourney - which works like an imagination printer by using keywords and descriptions.
Runway AI - which literally creates videos with images and descriptions, we are moving into an era where creativity is the norm and social media presence is vital for the next monetary expansion in our lives.
The inevitable change
we are experiencing a moving away from old paradigms in different business models and even in the way we think about our personal development as individuals. When we align into our visions and live our authenticity, money is just something that follows expanding itself into our creations brining inevitable abundance into our lives.
Its like a chain reaction, where we put out attention, our intention follows, thats when we bring our most creative selves and our deepest dreams into life. All it takes is a decision, the decision to stand up for ourselves and start a life full of freedom away from the illusions our mind creates. Our life is our responsibility, and where we are is a choice. It is also our choice to move to a place where our dreams are a way of being.
So what are we waiting for to start living a dream life?
