Daily Inspiration: “Maybe you should invest a little more of your time in the art of spotting opportunities!”

“Maybe you should invest a little more of your time in the art of spotting opportunities!” – Futurist  Jim Carroll

I don’t think we have ever lived in a time as remarkable as this, with so many opportunities all around us.

There’s a lot going on! Individually, any trend is disruptive. Combine them together, and it’s transformative. 3D printing, exponentiating bandwidth, hyper-connectivity, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, robotics, neural networks, deep analytics, autonomous vehicles, blockchain, self-learning systems.

All of these trends and more are merging together, leading to a massively new, connected, intelligent machine that will transform, change, challenge and disrupt every industry!

Smart people are looking at any one or a few of these trends and are busy figuring out how to turn them into opportunity. Are you?

How much time do you spend thinning about the art of the possible? The scope of what can be done versus what you have already done? The range of things you could be doing if you put your mind to it?

Lots of people go through each and every day focused on today, and don’t spend time thinking about what they could really do tomorrow.

My job as a futurist is to wake you up the trends, get you thinking about the opportunities, and focused on your initiative. Think big, start small, scale fast!
