Daily Inspiration: “A key rule to live by? When tomorrow is happening today, the future won’t wait for you to jump on board!”

“A key rule to live by? When tomorrow is happening today, the future won’t wait for you to jump on board! ” – Futurist Jim Carroll

A picture from my keynote in Las Vegas two weeks ago for the American Truck Dealers Association.

One of my key messages? Far too many people and companies have missed out on the trends imposed by our disruptive future because they’ve waited too long to make the decisions that really matter.

The result is that they miss out on opportunity, fall further behind, which makes it even more difficult to catch up with major trends.

A cumulative series of steps like this lead to an ever increasing downward spiral, making the challenge all that much more intense over time.

Don’t defer small decisions – move forward!

Never slow down – keep going!

Don’t be driven by indecision – it’s better to do something instead of doing nothing!

Because progress will come in fits and starts – the road to success is always uneven!
