I just read something that really made me stop and think. Mark Cuban is predicting that several types of businesses could disappear in the next 10 years. At first, I thought it sounded extreme. But the more I sat with it, the more it started to make sense.
The world is changing fast. Honestly, maybe faster than most of us are ready for.
One of the biggest points that stood out to me was how important artificial intelligence is becoming. Cuban basically said there will be two types of companies: those that are good at AI, and those that get left behind. That hit me. Because when you look back…we’ve seen this before. Companies that ignored the internet didn’t last. The same thing happened with smartphones.
Now it’s AI’s turn.
I agree with that take. If you’re not learning, adjusting, and growing with technology, you’re taking a big risk. It’s not even about being the best anymore. It’s about staying relevant.
Another thing that stood out to me was the idea that traditional media is in trouble. As someone who writes and creates content, I felt that one personally. AI can now write articles, edit videos, and even create voices. That means people don’t have to rely on big companies anymore.
That’s powerful… but also a little scary.
At the same time, I see the opportunity. We’re in a time where one person can build something from nothing. You don’t need a big team or company backing you. You just need skill, consistency, and the ability to adapt.
That’s a big shift from how things used to work.
Mark Cuban also talked about businesses that depend too much on platforms like Amazon or Etsy. That made a lot of sense to me. If you don’t control your own platform, you don’t control your future. One rule change, one fee increase, and everything can fall apart overnight.
That’s not a safe position to be in.
What really stuck with me though was the bigger picture. It’s not just about certain businesses going away. It’s about how fast everything is moving. Jobs, industries, and even entire ways of living are changing right in front of us.
And I think that’s what people are really feeling.
It’s not just fear…it’s uncertainty.
We’re used to things being stable. Go to school, get a job, work your way up. But now? That path isn’t as clear. You might train or go to school for something today that won’t even exist in 10 years.
That’s a tough reality to accept.
But I also think there’s a positive side to this. Change creates opportunity. It forces us to think differently. It pushes us to learn new skills and step outside of our comfort zones.
I believe the people who stay open minded, who are willing to grow are going to be just fine.
What Mark said was a wake up call for me. Not to panic, but to prepare. To keep learning. To stay aware. And to not get too comfortable in one lane.
Because the truth is, the world isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
