You know, FedEx, the shipping company?

A guy named Fred Smith started FedEx in 1973, right as the oil embargo began.The oil crisis meant rising fuel costs...not exactly the best time to be starting an overnight shipping company.

Not surprisingly, Fred's company nearly went bankrupt in the following years.

But, thanks to his ingenious ad campaign, "FedEx: when it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight", FedEx profits hit $38.7 million by 1980.

From near bankruptcy to millions in profits in under 7 years? Talk about dedication and never backing down.

History is filled with inspiring stories like this.

You're now standing at the ledge of opportunity. The world is starting to reopen over nearly 1.5 years of being shut down. 

You need to understand that recessions, oil embargos, stock market crashes, and worldwide pandemics aren't the problems you think they are.

Just as a wildfire clears brush such that new life can grow, natural disasters, pandemics, and volatile stock markets can bring immense opportunities for growth and success...if you play your cards right.

Here's a few examples:
  • Steve Jobs launched the first-gen iPod in October 2001, right after the dot-com bust in 2000...but that didn't stop him and Apple from making the iPod a monumental success
  • IBM started in 1911 after a stock market panic and went on to become a giant in the tech world
  • Walt and Roy Disney founded Walt Disney Productions right before the Great Depression in the United States
I think you get the idea.

For many people, the last year has been one of the most chaotic, unpredictable, and painful years of their lives.

COVID has been a heartbreaking tragedy on a massive global scale... and because of it, we're swimming in fear, uncertainty, and doubt, even as the world starts to "reopen".

But that doesn't mean there's no opportunities for you to move forward and grow.

In fact, some of the best opportunities you'll ever see in your entire life are right in front of you at this very moment.

You just need to know where to look.
 

Invest in yourself and your education

Martin Luther King once said:

"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education."

You're now standing at the ledge of opportunity. The world is starting to reopen after nearly 1.5 years of being shut down.

Yes, this has been a sad, painful time for many of us — but that doesn't change the fact that there is tremendous opportunity available to us.

Are you going to invest in your education and take advantage of the opportunities?

Or, are you going to sit idly and let them pass by?
 

There's never been a better time to learn computer vision and deep learning.

Did you know that according to AI Paygrades, the base salary for Artificial Intelligence jobs is $160,000/year in the USA and UK?

That's life-changing money right there — and you're seriously missing out by not investing in yourself and mastering computer vision and deep learning.

In order to get your piece of the pie, you need to first learn computer vision and deep learning, two of the hottest areas of Artificial Intelligence.

I want to help you make the switch to a better, high-paying, and more fulfilling career. But you need the proper training first.

Luckily, training and education is my passion.
