So if you're saying that your company is really heavily starting to automate and you know, doing it to many, many different parts of the business, or maybe you're saying that that new technology is really starting to disrupt your company that's really starting to sort of hit them at that bottom line, then you can be pretty aware that you're in the path three of this strategy. So an example of this might be Amazon, where they currently are now where they still have human employees in their fulfillment factories, but on the outside, they also have thousands and thousands of robots that are progressively automating more and more tasks as the years go by. So if you haven't done much work and you know, on those previous two parts, and you're finding that you're currently right now in that, you know, part three of the strategy already, you do you know, Bit of catching up to do, you don't have much time before that industry gets, you know, irreversibly disrupted or you know that automation potentially takes your job as well.

However, if you have been, you know, monitoring that technology and doing those parts one and two, then you'll be in a really good position to take the next step. Now, that next step will be of course, going into a new position potentially at a new company or even new industry. And in this particular section, you'll be wanting to really focus on those main two points, which is learning about the technology and also trying to implement or actually use the technology so he might want to be doing, you know, obviously you doing the reading up on it that you've been doing in part one to be might want to take it actually further now that you've narrowed in, in part two on those specific you know, maybe one or two technologies or two or three or four businesses that you want to specifically target, might want to take some online courses, you might want to take some night classes, something like that, to really get up to speed and really sort of augment your traditional skill set that you already have.

So to give you a sort of quick example of what this might look like, just imagine that you're a regular truck driver. And you know, you've been doing those parts one and two, and you're sort of seen that, you know, autonomous driving of all types of vehicles, including trucks will eventually, you know, one day replace your job that's not currently right now, you can see that that technology can very quickly turn from, you know, being in the research phase to actively displacing you and others from your job. So, you've gone about, you know, learning and knowing about this technology and monitoring it and the next step you might want to do is to start taking classes in for instance, say fleet management. So rather than being an actual truck driver You might be a fleet manager of a number of autonomous trucks. Now, obviously, this is a bit of a different career path.

And you will obviously, you know, maybe it has to take a night class or something like that. But the benefits of doing this in this particular stage is you still have a job, you still have, you know, solid good employment. And you can do it on your own time, to a particular type of technology that interests you, you know, maybe it's not fleet learning, maybe it's something totally different. Maybe it's the maintenance of the trucks or whatever it might be. You combine that new technology with something that interests you and your existing skill set. So all this work results in you potentially becoming, you know, possibly even getting a promotion to a fleet manager, for instance.

And you've essentially moved from that old position into your new position that is now you know, basically guaranteed to not get get disrupted by that technology. You know, all the other truck drivers that are out there might stop losing their jobs as that automation technology does come in, and goes from that research phase to the actual rolled out product phase. And whilst that is a terrible loss, you know, I'm not going to say that thousands of thousands of truck drivers losing their job is a good thing. It unfortunately is the inevitable thing. And as I keep coming back to it may be a terrible outcome for those people that are truck drivers, but the very least you can do is secure your own employment and make sure that you are good in the future. So the other side of this is that if you do this research, if you do this, you know, proactive learning, and you bring that knowledge and expertise to the companies or to your own business, even because they may be actually looking to do it.

It's very likely that you know, they're gonna see you as someone who is obviously willing to learn new things. That's always a good trait to have, but not just that you Still got your previous many years of expertise. So these new companies that might be, you know, a completely new company, for example, trying to roll out these autonomous trucks will be missing that, you know, huge legacy knowledge, all that, you know, experience that you've gained over the past 510 20 years, however long you've been driving trucks for that is invaluable experience that you can bring to that new company and sort of marry that with the new technology and say, Well, you've got this new technology. However, you're probably not aware of this, you know, really important, niche thing that always happens to old trucks, we need to take account for that with your new technology, and that can save them a lot of money, it can get them to a product Far, far quicker.

And they're going to be very happy to have you on board with your, you know, possibly decades of expertise. To do this, however, it all stems from that initial point of reading up and learning about the technology you know, If you're a truck driver, and you don't even read up about self driving trucks or self driving car technology, you won't even see that coming, you won't have that ability to see the technology coming, realize and make the connection that is a threat to your job or your industry or position, and then make that shift into the new position. So this is the kind of process that I want to get across. And this is what this strategy is all about. Also, you may not even need to go to a different company or a completely different industry, chances are that again, using the truck driver, as a good example, chances are that your current business doesn't want to just roll over and die when everyone starts using automated trucks and self driving trucks.

They're going to be either potentially already looking and researching into this technology. Or you know, if you bring that technology to them and say hey, this is something that requires your attention and I can help you lead you know, the charge on that particular technology because I know x, y and Zed about and I've, you know, read about and taking these classes on it and all this sort of information plus you have all that, you know, experience of actually driving their trucks, they would be very happy to, you know, help you get into a higher position, if you help them, you know, cut expenses and move into that new type of technology and continue to compete with the other competitors, because you can be guaranteed that they will be doing it. So, companies, as a general rule, don't particularly like to fire a lot of employees.

So there is an opportunity that, you know, you can come to them and say, Sure, this is going to affect my position, but you put me in this new fleet manager position or whatever it might be, and I will also help your company, they're going to be more than happy to do that for you because it helps them they get to keep you as an employee. They don't have to go through the horrible thing of firing you won, during redundancy packages and all that sort of other stuff. So it's in their best in interest as well as yours. So, if all goes well, at the end of the transition, you're now working in potentially a new position in your same in the same company, maybe you're working in a new position and a completely different company, or maybe even a completely different industry, whichever The case is, you're now happily employed in that new position that makes use of that technology.

And it's a bit more, you know, insulated against that technology, totally disrupting wherever it was that you used to work. As an added bonus, you're also most likely doing work on a technology or an area or an industry that really interests you, because that was one of your key things in your document to try and narrow in on a company or a technology that actually interests you to try and differentiate between maybe the two or three, you know, disrupting technologies that are coming on. So you're in your new position, and might even be a higher paying position, and you're also doing something that you know, potentially interests Now your old existing company, they might still be struggling a little bit or might be, you know more heavily automating this sort of thing, but they're still in quite a good position as well. And in terms of your success and your future, it only gets better and we'll cover that in the next section.
