HOW TO PREDICT YOUR FUTURE
Mankind is designed to play the major role in shaping and predicting their future, even though the future belongs to God as widely believed. It is expected of a man to deal with certain issues of life as God has already endowed him with latent abilities to better his life.
10 WAYS TO PREDICT AND SHAPE YOUR FUTURE
1. Think about the biggest problem you are having, then consider them not real. The real problem lies hidden behind that distraction you call a problem. People who do not follow societal opinion create their own path. In other words, do the opposite when the masses advice you on a general counsel or consideration. If your are determined to beat developments ahead of trends, then be ready to take risks.
One thing that formal education has succeeded turning the youths into is nothing but bunch of followers. Almost all the youths today are no longer creative. Rather,they are just working in hand with the knowledge they acquired in the college. If only the youths can invest their God giving talents into their careers instead of strictly following classroom information and friends recommendation, they will shape their future.
2. Make your future your everyday dream
Clinging on your dream and working towards it day by day, then you will eventually become what you dream.
The power of dream forms a clear imagination of what tomorrow will be in our minds. Men who do not dream do not think about the future, and those who see little of the future, do not dream big.
3. What is developing and what is fading out
To predict the future, we should ask ourselves about what is growing and what is shrinking. So many product and services are no more in existence. A lot have things have changed and metamorphosed into new product. There is always technology shift drifting from common analogue application to complex and sophisticated computerized automated system.
If we can track the movements of civilization and trace the trend of development, we will definitely be there in the future before the society will arrive.
Where is the direction of the future going based on technology?
4. Redefine who your customers are
Study and find out how to be a solution to their needs. Try to put yourself in your consumers position, and predict the problems they are to face in the near future.
How are they making use gadgets and how technology is affecting them and not their productivity? Enhance your product to create new market for them.
The secret is in carving out a customer base business where your expertise is little enough to to give a foundation for more study in the field.
5. Stop competing with people
Competition breeds speed and industriousness but not innovation and creativity. One can be fast, busy, up and doing, yet achieving less.
Innovation and creativity in the other hand, are bred from meditating on the past events, how we came to the present developments and reaching out to solve the loopholes from both present and past.
Creativity and innovation are the two inseparable tools that can shape any future.
We become innovators when we intelligently observe the trend and ingenuously apply our findings to make life easy.
However, letting competition to be a source of motivation to you, will only make you look much like everyone else and that locks you up in loosing battles.
Competition makes one stay on the same level with others, on the other hand innovation makes one to find advantage from services and situations and use it to go beyond everyone else.
Be an innovator, one who sees his present achievement as foundation or stepping stone to get to bigger and better future. The key is to look at what people are doing and do what they do not do.
6. Be the boss, but respect your customers
Your ideas and what you want are not important, but understanding and expressing clearly what the customer want and how your ideas can solve the problem is what matters.
So do not go into all the benefits, functions, features or cost of the idea. Only study your customer’s objections and use it in those areas to enhance your product
Know the game but do not be a play, rather own the game, then innovate and transform the game over and over again.
Part of innovation is to customize your products or services in better and different way than what everyone else is going after.
7. Every idea is an opportunity
To sell your ideas to big leagues, frame it as an opportunity and do not first talk about the ideas itself, rather tune into the pain of your customer and focus on his preference.
Prepare very well to anticipate customer objections and be sure to be very certain in prioritizing and making it relevant on how your ideas can solve those objections.
The sole objective of anyone looking forward to predict the future is the wellbeing those he/she is trying to offer service.
8. Be dynamic in strategy
Start creating a dynamic strategic plans that not only focused on money, but plan for research and creating competitive advantage from your service, and a clear certain way of executing those plans as you break them down into steps and stages.
The major aim of industrial civilization is to make services easier and gadgets much portable and less cost.
Be sure to integrate the idea above in your creative works if you are to make a huge impact to the future.
Its the way forward!
Using technology such as applications, smart phones and smart pads to shape and redefine your company towards where your customers are evolving to, needs to be one of your dynamic strategic imperative.
9. Understand how technology works
Scientist and Engineers are changing the face of things through industrial revolution. Any ascribing innovator who cannot follow the trend will be left behind.
Following technological development is a great idea to predict the future. Scientist and Engineers are the bedrock of development. Every services are embedded on what they have manufactured.
Therefore, let your plan have a dynamic strategic way of engaging people using multimedia or graphic demonstration rather than just engaging your customers directly.
10. Make a name for yourself
Always control how people perceive you and your organization. This is done by being opportunity manager and strategic asset for your organization.
Do not be driven by emotions, rather be smart in the application of your plans.
Be thorough in your work, honest to the cause and truthful to all so that people can trust their business in your hands.
Never let anyone make fun of your work at any point, because at every point, your creation is on the course of development.
Take a break occasionally
It is imperative to learn the art of unplugging from work occasionally to help your subconscious refresh so as to supply you with fresh ideas for innovation.
Remember to be creative and innovative rather than industrious and fast!
