How do I get started in AI? In business? In ANYTHING?

[MJ DeMarco]

I'm absolutely astounding how some people are afflicted with learned helplessness.

In the last 24 hours, I think I've been peppered with the same damn question "How do I get started?" a half dozen times.

Well, how do you get started in ANYTHING?

You practice. You play. You use.

How do I get started to run a marathon?
You run.

How do I get started to play piano?
Find a piano keyboard and play.

How do I get started playing tennis?
Pickup a racket and play.

How do I get started in swimming?
Find a pool and jump in.

How do I get started writing a book?
Open a blank document and write one, single, solitary sentence.

How do I get started learning to code?
Find a "Hello, World!" tutorial and do it.

How do I get started investing?
Open a brokerage account and buy one share of one company.

How do I get started lifting weights?
Go to a gym and pick up a 10-pound dumbbell.

How do I get started learning a new language?
Download an app and learn how to say "hello."

How do I get started in business?
Find a product and sell it.

How do I get started in AI?
Find an AI and use it.

You see, getting started in ANYTHING is as simple as performing the act.

The more practice you invest, the more you leave the the realm of "getting started" and advance to "expert."

Just freaking do it.
