Jongo used to be pretty good at this whole entrepreneurship thing.
I had some fairly successful businesses in my time, and for pretty much a quarter of a century, my commute was up and down a flight of stairs. I worked from home, and had dreams to teaching the world how to do the same thing!
I was never the smartest guy in the room, but something I learned from reading a whole bunch of Robert Kiyosaki books was...
Surround yourself with the smartest people in the room.
But I loved to come up with ideas. And some of them were decent, some were successful and others failed miserably. It was the entrepreneurial journey!
O.K. so let's go back to when I first started to actually 'make it' online. This was like in the early to mid 2000's. And the dreams of earning a living online was becoming a reality for so many.
And the suggestion a lot of people were giving was...You need to learn PHP.
Programming language du jour, and I have no idea if it's still even a thing but alas...I went to the store (because online training wasn't a thing yet) and bought a book on how to self teach myself PHP.
I got to about.... ?echo os something like that, and I knew, from then I would never be a developer. So I started partnering with guys that could code my ideas and make them a reality.
I couldn't help but tell myself....
"One day, someone is going to come up with a coding lamguage that spits out exactly what you want things to do...In plain english. No need for coding language knowledge, just type what you want it to do and voila..."
Fast forward to 2026 and......AI lol
Again I'm not saying I'm a smart guy at all, and the fact I couldn't figure out PHP proves that, but wow...If only I would have really taken that idea I had back then and work on it. Or find someone to work on it.
I tried over the years too, things like 'Veews' here on the blockchain was my attempt and my partners attempt to create a machine learning tool that indexed the blockchain and fed you content that fit your passions and preferences.
But alas....I'm not very smart. And without a programmer, my timing has always sucked for coming up with ideas and making them a reality.
Maybe that's an opportunity with AI these days?
In fact, here's something funny to look at...I 'created' my first image using the Canva AI image took today...It's my first attempt at using an AI tool and well...It sucks LOL
But I might hav actually finally seen the potential.
And yeah, I'm still no fan of this AI stuff. I think there's the potential for more harm than good.
But maybe these days, my timing won't suck because my barrier of entry was always...Development. Now it looks like Jongo has no excuses....
I just need to find that passion again for entrepreneurship.
