⛔  The biggest myth right now is that companies need more AI experts 

Most companies don’t need experts.
They need translators.

People who can take AI and turn it into:
~~ a better workflow
~~ faster operations
~~ smarter decision-making
~~ new revenue
~~ real measurable value

AI consultancy is about connecting the dots between: 

 ➡️   business pain + data + tools + execution   ⬅️ 
  
And that’s why this role is exploding!

Because every executive is asking the same question: “Where does AI fit in our organization?”

If you can answer that, you become valuable.

I’m covering exactly this in our free live training: Become an AI Consultant & Start Earning from AI in 2026

🗓️ Jan 15 @ 7:00 PM Beirut time

We crossed 4,000+ registrations in 48 hours for one reason:

People know AI is moving fast, and they don’t want to be left behind.

But here’s the bigger truth 👉  the winners won’t be the ones who learn every new tool.

The winners will be the ones who can:
 ✅ turn AI into value
 ✅ guide others
 ✅ build repeatable use cases
 ✅ package it into consulting offers

That’s why AI consultancy is becoming such a powerful career path.

In 2026, your job title won’t protect you.

Your ability to solve problems will.

And the best “problem-solving layer” right now is AI.

If you can walk into a business and say:

➡️  “Here’s what AI can automate.”
➡️  “Here’s what AI can accelerate.”
➡️  “Here’s where AI will fail.”
➡️  “Here’s a safe rollout plan.”
➡️  “Here’s how we measure results.”

You become a high-leverage person.

That’s literally the foundation of AI consultancy.

If you’re exploring a career shift, freelancing, or a new income stream… this is the most practical entry point right now.

AI isn’t just a tool anymore.
It’s becoming a business advantage.

And the people who will win in the next 12–24 months are not the ones who "use ChatGPT" ...

They’re the ones who can consult companies on how to use AI correctly.

Because most organizations are facing the same problem:

They want AI.
They don’t know where to start.
They don’t know what’s realistic.
They don’t know what’s safe.
They don’t know how to measure ROI.


That gap is exactly where AI consultants will become essential.

If you’ve ever considered consulting, freelancing, or building a side income… AI consultancy is one of the best opportunities today.

That’s why we’re doing this free live training: Become an AI Consultant & Start Earning from AI in 2026

A lot of people think AI consulting means being deeply technical.

It doesn’t.

AI consultancy today is mostly about:

 ✅ identifying opportunities
 ✅ knowing what’s possible with modern tools
 ✅ designing workflows
 ✅ driving adoption
 ✅ helping teams use AI without chaos

The technical build is only one part.

The real value is in knowing what to implement, and how.

That’s why I believe AI consultancy will become one of the most in-demand skills across every industry.

We’re unpacking the full roadmap in this free training:
