WORKBOOK SEQUENCE
- 01
Choose one repeated task related to this thesis: When anyone can make anything, the scarce resource is attention, trust, and the taste to earn both.
- 02
Use the chapter signals—The Old Bargain; Creation Gets Cheap; Distribution Gets Dear; The End of Content Scarcity; The Rise of Trust Scarcity; Owned Audiences; Taste as a Distribution Advantage; Point of View Travels; The Trust Flywheel; What the Early Builder Should Do; Channels, Not Channel Chasing; Proof Beats Polish; The New Middlemen; Compounding Surfaces; The Ethics of Attention; A Practical Operating System; The Best News—to identify where the current workflow loses time, quality or learning.
- 03
Define the trigger, input, AI-assisted step, human decision, measurable output and stop condition.
- 04
Run the workflow once with a real case; record the failure before expanding scope.
EXPECTED OUTPUT
Leave with a decision artifact.
A bounded workflow card with one owner, one metric, one review gate and one documented failure response.
