Maybe Iā€™m wrong, but Iā€™d rather build a super fan than a customer.

Just got off a call that reinforced this belief. Instead of simply providing a service for a fee, I took a different route.

šŸš€ Empowerment Over Profit
I showed the client how to harness ChatGPT for their needs. Yes, I could’ve easily done the project, invoiced a hefty sum, and moved on. But that’s not how I envision technology’s role.

šŸ’” Tech is About Enabling, Not Just Delivering
If tech is designed right, its greatest value lies in empowering the user. My role? I’m a systems thinker, a technology enthusiast, and a problem solver. I bring value by understanding the existing technological pieces, how they interconnect, and identifying the right steps to start with.

šŸ¤ Long-Term Relationships Over Quick Wins
So, I could’ve made a quick buck. But by leveling up their capabilities, I did something more valuable. I created a super fan who not only knows what I can do but also trusts me to guide them in integrating these pieces effectively in the future.

Next time they face a technological puzzle, I’ll be the one they call to help put the pieces together.
