Daily Inspiration: "Have you ever noticed that those decisions you didn't make yesterday are coming back to haunt you today?" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Life shouldn't be a series of missed opportunities but a history of achieved possibilities.
The essence of disruptive thinking is developing the ability to decide the presence of imperfect information.
One of the lines I will often use on stage involves the ability to move into markets that do not yet exist with products or services not yet conceived. Steve Jobs didn't launch the iPod or iPhone with perfect information as to what a future market might look like - he just knew the timing was right. Reed Hastings didn't bring Netflix to the world with detailed information on the future of streaming services - in fact, he first had the company go into the physical DVD space. Jeff Bezos didn't launch Amazon with full details as to what the future of the 'everything online' store might look like - he just had a gut feeling that online commerce would be a thing.
So what are you waiting for? Perfect information? Absolute certainty? Minimal risk? A guarantee of success?
That's not how you do things.
You jump in, move forward, get involved, try things out - and make decisions.
Right now, millions of new jobs are being created, companies are being born, and service industries are being built around them. Ten or twenty years from now, we'll all look back and go 'Whoah.'
And there will be many people who will be in a state of regret because they didn't take the opportunity when they should have.
They will be surrounded by those who made a decision, dipped their toes into future waters, and started to move forward, not back.
What's your plan?
