Here are some events and parties to check out this St. Patrick's Day in Toronto https://t.co/9qhkilxJWQ #Toronto #StPatricksDay2023 #StPatrickDay

New technology can often appear to kill existing roles, but it ultimately requires people to make it worthwhile for the rest of society. And just like any other transformative tech, businesses, freelancers, and educators will create new opportunities because of @OpenAI

@Jason had a great take that there will be roles for Prompt Engineers - people who are really good at writing the write prompts to get better results out of OpenAI.

@Shopify launched to help people sell online quickly, but overtime, it has evolved into a platform that supports many of the biggest e-commerce brands in the world. People earn a living because of Shopify across marketing, sales, development, design and more.

When Shopify started, it was viewed as a potential threat to eCommerce developers; it has created opportunities for developers, marketers and entrepreneurs to build their own businesses on top of that platform.

But, beyond my personal use case - social media has created more ways for people to make money than it has destroyed. People have been able to build careers in a niche, careers as media buyers, and careers as social media experts.

When @facebook launched it, it felt like a thing you would use to connect with friends. In University, I used Facebook photos and albums to kickstart our music blog @salacioussound and eventually become a promoter (sorry for the invites)

When @google launched Google Ads, they didn't intend to have a massive partner ecosystem; they thought businesses would buy media themselves. This didn't happen and there are now millions of SEM marketers (of varying quality)

Chat GPT will create more jobs than it destroys. Here's how:

Do you factor seasonal sentiments into how you plan and project for your business and adjust accordingly?

The reality is this taught me to build my business and plan based on these trends as opposed to trying to fight against them.

The demands on our time are primarily seasonal, holidays, early new year, better weather, getting it done before you or your kids have to go back to school, back to school/work and focus, the first snowfall (that one is fine), the subsequent snowfalls (not as cute).

It would affect the ability to book meetings or appear as a big surge of demand that "came out of nowhere."

This pattern hasn't changed; it has been present in almost every business I've been involved in over the last decade.

Then everyone would disappear for a few months.

Everyone came out for a week, from boxing day until New Year's Eve.

In September, everyone was excited, and by November, people started Hibernating.

Towards the end of each summer, people were busy leaving the city.

As things got warmer starting in March, everything ramped up.
