Not Jobless.
Founder.
Starting your own business when AI changes your job: how your skills become a business idea of your own. With an AI prompt for a first draft of your personal business plan.
by Rüdiger Krause · paperback and e-book
The English edition will be available soon as a paperback and e-book on Amazon. The German edition comes first.
Your job is changing. Your skills remain.
AI writes, calculates and plans in seconds, and many people wonder what will become of their work. This book asks a different question: what has actually disappeared, your profession or just the way you used to earn money with it?
Quantwohl gives you the method, the business model and clear guidance for putting it into practice. You use them to develop your own business idea: full time, as a side income or on two tracks alongside a new job.
What you will find inside
- First aid after losing your job: what to check in the first seven days
- The skills inventory: what you can really sell
- Three business options, from premium service to digital product
- Value ladder, prices and break-even, clearly calculated
- Selling without knocking on doors, with message and conversation templates
- Ten professions, ten ideas and 55 business models as an idea toolkit
- The monthly money system: from first savings to the full split
- A 90-day plan with a workbook and clear decision points
- Bonus: the Business Build Prompt that lets your AI draft a first personal business plan
Who the book is for
For employees and self-employed people whose work is being changed by AI or has already gone. For everyone who wants to build a second source of income. And for everyone who finally wants to sell their experience as a result rather than by the hour.
