Prompt and Prosper will be closing down
Sadly, I will close this community down on January 1st. I say sadly because I'm not thrilled about it, but I need to narrow my focus. That's the short story. Read on if you want more details. I created this community, along with promptandprosper.com because there is a need for this stuff, showing people how to leverage AI to make content. I had a big dream for it, with a grand vision. A vision that would have come true if I chose to focus on it and put in the work. This community can't grow and prosper without me putting in that work. That's right, I'm blaming myself. I'm not blaming the closing on down on a failure of Skool.com, the economy/market, or you all. I'm making the choice to close it because I need to narrow my own personal focus. I'm trying to juggle my day job of teaching AI and other nerd stuff, finishing up a book on generative AI, studying for AI certifications, and running things like my YouTube channel and my tech blog teaching people about the really geeky AI stuff. After careful consideration I have to focus on my 2025 trajectory. Tens of thousands of people or more know me from teaching them how to code, how to manage DevOps, or how to build AI systems. Nobody really knows me as a content creator (though I create a lot of content, obviously) or a leader in that space. I am choosing to continue to pour my efforts into being the best I can at doing what I've poured the last decade or more of my life into. Which is my existing channels. And focus on them. Trying to spread myself too thin and "do all the things" is exactly what Alex Hormozi (one of the big backers of Skool.com) advises against. I can do all the things poorly, or a few things good. I am a "tech influencer" even though I hate that title. However, I love "influencing" people into believing they can do something. And then watching them do it. I want to be the best at it, and it's an infinite game. Even with all my followers I'm still a small fish in a big pond. I still have so much to learn and polish. (One of the things I love about this pursuit is that I'll never master it).
