5 Predictions on the Future of Wealth Creation by Naval Ravikant
The man who can predict the future: Naval Ravikant.
He was an early investor in Uber, Twitter, and Notion.
And he just said, "The internet has eliminated the barrier to becoming wealthy."
5 predictions on the future of wealth creation (and why you should care):
1. AI won't take your job, someone using AI will
The only people who consider AI a threat are the ones who don't know how to use it. But the winners of tomorrow?
They aren't fighting against AI. They're partnering with it...
Mastering AI tools for:
- Planning
- Research and learning
- First drafts of your work
Will make you 10x more productive, creative, and valuable.
Technology never replaces. It enhances.
2. The rise of micro-entrepreneurship
The beauty of the internet is that scale's built in.
A simple blog, online course, or newsletter can snowball into a business empire by reaching millions.
No massive overhead. No bloated teams. Just you, your skills, and your audience...
Some examples:
- Ree Drummond started her $100M cookware brand with a blog
- Amanda Hocking sold 1M e-books on Amazon for $0.99-$2.99
- Marie Poulin turned simple Notion templates into $1M
Don't overthink it: start small, add value, and the rest will take care of itself.
3. Global talent pool
Geographical barriers are crumbling.
Your next hire could be a VA from the Philippines, a developer from Eastern Europe or a designer from South America - at a fraction of the price.
You can build a $1M biz without hiring a single full-time employee...
Even better?
Global hiring means you can access the best of the best - while benefitting from novel perspectives compared to the echo chambers you're used to.
Win-win.
4. The rise of creator-led brands
Forget faceless corporations.
The future belongs to personality-driven brands.
Think MrBeast Burger, not McDonald's. Kylie Cosmetics - not L'Oréal.
These brands have built-in audiences, established trust and rapid feedback loops. What's more?
ANYONE can build the brands of the future.
Once you build a personal brand, you can do anything with it.
We've seen Charli D'Amelio sell mattresses. Cristiano Ronaldo build hotels. Logan Paul make energy drinks.
The line between influencer and entrepreneur is blurring.
5. Personal brands are an asset
There are two types of people: those who create content and those who consume it.
The former is this generation's equivalent of buying real estate.
The latter is the equivalent of paying rent...
Those who create content are building something that'll serve them for years. But those who consume it?
They're left with nothing when the dust settles,
To me, the choice is simple...
