This might offend you.
I'm sorry.
I’m about to say something offensive.
Not “canceled on Twitter” offensive.
More like… “your uncle at Thanksgiving after 5 beers” offensive.
If you think your 9-to-5 is a safe bet right now… you’re a potato.
Seriously, the odds of Epstein offing himself are higher than the odds of you retiring from your 9-to-5.
I know this because I believed the same BS of job security…
I Got Laid Off
In 2021, I was working as a security guard.
I was never late.
I always followed instructions.
I never jerked off in the company truck (or was never caught, at least).
But on one of my days off, my manager calls:
"The company is rolling out budget cuts and we have too much staff. I’m sorry, but we're letting you go."
It wasn’t personal. Just profits.
But that moment changed everything.
I realized no matter how good you are at your job…
You’re still just another number on a spreadsheet.
Your job security is as fake as the Kardashian family’s boobs.
The Music Is About To Stop
Unemployment is at an all-time high…
Inflation is taking the value of the US dollar…
McKinsey predicts AI will disrupt ~600 million jobs in the next few years…
And you think the safe bet is… keep working a job?
I hate to break it to ya…
But the longer you keep your income tied to a boss’s mood and a company’s balance sheet…
The closer you get to the day when they decide you’re replaceable.
And when that day comes? It’s already too late to start building something for yourself.
I see it all the time.
People come to me after getting laid off, desperate to figure out how to make money online.
They’re panicked, stressed, scrambling.
Some figure it out… most don’t.
But the ones who do win?
They start before the music stops.
Like Andrew Wood, who got laid off 2 months after joining Growth Ghost. Then hit $10K/month a couple months later with ghostwriting.

Or Taylin Simmonds. Who scaled to $20K/month a few weeks before finding out he was about to be laid off from his teaching job.
(He made $500K with ghostwriting later that year).


These people didn’t just start businesses.
They stopped handing control of their lives to someone who can take it away before lunch break.
They’re living life on their terms now because they leveraged AI and learned social media ghostwriting.
Something that companies, entrepreneurs, and influencers will pay $2K–$7K/month for.
My Growth Ghost members leverage AI to work faster, create better content, and scale (without burning out).
They stop relying on cold outreach and start having clients come to them.
Give Yourself a Raise
Here’s the reality:
You either get replaced by AI, or use AI to replace your income.
If you start a social media ghostwriting business now (leveraging AI the right way) you can hit $5K–$10K/month faster than most people get a raise.
Much love and happy Hump Day.

Here’s what Andrew and Taylin have to say about their experience in Growth Ghost.
