ONLYNESS: The No BS Playbook for the AI Era

Stop Applying for Jobs. Start Providing Solutions.

The "40-year sprint" to retirement is dead. In its place is a 60-year marathon where skills are commoditized, and a "Senior" title is a target, not a shield. If you are a mid-career professional relying on "Job Board Porn"—the dopamine hit of clicking "Easy Apply" only to be ghosted by an AI bot—you are on a suicide mission for your morale. Even at the senior level, the belief that your degree or title acts as a suit of armor is a dangerous myth; in the AI age, the CFO is constantly weighing your "Fully Burdened Labor Cost" against younger, cheaper, AI-powered alternatives.

In ONLYNESS: The No BS Playbook for the AI Age, executive coach Jeff Altman reveals why the most successful professionals in the age of automation have stopped acting like employees and started operating as a "Company of One".

This isn't a book about AI; it's a liberation strategy for your career. You will learn how to:

• Audit Your "Economic Delta": Convert decades of "showing up" into a ledger of hard ROI—revenue generation, cost avoidance, or risk mitigation—that makes you a high-margin product.
• Weaponize Your LinkedIn: Move from a digital filing cabinet to an authority distribution channel that broadcasts a "signal" of your unique value.
• Flip the Script on Interviews: Stop begging for permission and start conducting "Intelligence Briefings" and "Consultation Closes" that position you as a peer and consultant.
• Build a "Trust Web": Stop transactional networking and create a community of "Nodes" who are professionally and economically invested in your success.
• Monetize Your Wisdom: Pivot to fractional and advisory models where you decouple your income from your hours and sell results instead.

The market doesn’t pay for effort; it pays for Onlyness. Whether you’re looking to land a C-suite role or your next high-margin consulting assignment, this book is your roadmap to total professional sovereignty.

The marathon has begun. Are you running with a 20th-century roadmap, or are you ready to claim your Onlyness?
