What to Do on January 1st If You're Serious About AI
The First Day of 2026 Matters More Than You Think
Most people will spend New Year’s Day recovering from New Year’s Eve, making vague goals about learning AI, and telling themselves they’ll figure it out later.
The people who will actually build something with AI in 2026 will do something different on New Year’s Day. They will make one specific decision that will change everything.
They will pick their path.
Here’s what I have learned about AI that nobody will tell you: the tools don’t matter until you know what you’re building. You can watch every YouTube tutorial, take every free course, and still end up with nothing because you never decided what you were actually trying to create. So if you’re serious about AI in 2026, I’m going to tell you exactly what to do:
Stop Trying to Learn Everything
The biggest mistake people make with AI is trying to learn all of it at once. They think they need to understand ChatGPT, Midjourney, voice cloning, video generation, automation tools, and everything else before they can start. That’s backwards.
You need to pick one income path first. One specific way you’re going to use AI to generate revenue or save time. Then you learn the tools that serve that path.
There are seven realistic ways to build income online right now, and AI makes all of them faster and more sustainable:
AI-assisted services - offering done-for-you work with AI helping you deliver faster
Productized services - packaging your AI-enhanced work into repeatable offers
Digital products - creating courses, templates, and resources once and selling them repeatedly
Coaching and consulting - teaching others how to use AI in their specific industry
Affiliate marketing - recommending AI tools you actually use and earning commissions
Recurring offers - building memberships or subscriptions that create predictable income
Platform monetization - using AI to create content on platforms like YouTube or Amazon Influencer that pay you
Most people get overwhelmed by the options and never commit to one path long enough to see results.

We use this exact framework to help people go from “I should probably learn AI” to “I’m building actual income with AI handling the grunt work” in weeks instead of years.
Once you download it, spend the time to go through the decision matrix and answer the questions honestly. Figure out which path makes sense for where you are right now - your time, your skills, your audience, and what you can realistically commit to building. You’ll know by the end which path to focus on.
What Happens After You Pick Your Path
This is where most people get stuck. They pick a path and then don’t know what to do next. They end up back on YouTube watching tutorials that may or may not apply to what they’re actually trying to build. That’s why I have partnered with AI Revolution Secrets - to show you exactly how to use AI in whichever path you choose.
Once you know your path, you need to understand the shift that’s happening and how to position yourself. How to clone yourself digitally so AI can handle the repetitive work. How to save 10-20 hours a week. Why 2026 is different than 2025 and what that means for you.

Why January 1st Actually Matters
People treat New Year’s like it’s symbolic, and it is. It’s the day when most people realize they want to change what’s not working and they are willing to make a decision to do something different. The rest of the year, they’re busy, distracted, waiting for the right time. Today is the right time.
By the time February hits, most people who thought about learning AI on January 1st will have moved on to something else. They’ll tell themselves they’ll do it later. They’ll get distracted by the next thing.
But the people who picked their path today and registered for the training? They’ll understand the shift. They’ll know how to clone themselves. They’ll have a framework instead of confusion.
