Open your eyes, my friends, there are important things happening in this world today. These trends will have a great effect on your business, some will directly affect your network marketing business, some will indirectly affect your network marketing business. Choosing to ignore these trends will NOT be a blessing 5 years from now.
A major trend in the world economy is the growing power of India and China, along with other nations that are gaining massive momentum.
A second trend that is happening now is the opening up of mass collaboration, social media, the internet, and technology.
The third trend is unfortunately a faltering US economy.
Over the next decade, life and business will change due to these 3 trends. Many giant companies will perish. Many startups will stand out. Every business in existence today, including your home based business, needs to see and be aware of these top trends in order to stay ahead and prevail for the next 10 years.
Let’s take a closer look at the first trend of the emerging powers of India and China. This is important because India represents 1.1 billion people and China represents 1.3 billion people. India’s young and well-educated population has embraced the latest computer and information technologies, making their country one of the world’s leading high-tech hubs. This will allow you to soon be 1 click away from a large percentage of your entire population.
Indian IT and computer companies in Bangalore have been named as the second Silicon Valley in the world. The expanding middle class, strong military establishment and the country’s growing sophistication in high technology are shaping India as one of the rising political, economic and military powers. China is a different story, but the rise of both is inevitable. Knowing it and taking action is important for anyone looking to build their network to spectacular size.
As for the second trend, the rapid growth of technology. There are many causes for this, the main one being the use of mass collaboration. Did you know that Wikipedia recently published its 10 millionth article? They have no employees doing those positions. Those posts are made only by volunteer editors. Do you know how many people have built Myspace, Facebook and hundreds of other websites into what they are today? Hundreds of millions. If you are on the Internet, chances are you have participated in this massive collaboration knowingly or not.
Mass collaboration is happening not only on the Internet, it is also happening between regular companies. Boeing, BMW, and PG&E are just a few of the companies harnessing the powers of the masses. As this technology gets stronger and stronger, knowledge will stand out and those using these massive collaborative technologies will see rapid success. This trend is supported by freedom of choice and truly winning ways of doing business. Companies that use these means to do business are opening their doors and succeeding at a phenomenal rate compared to being closed and only relying on internal networks.
You can take advantage of today’s remarkable technology and mass collaboration in multiple ways, for example, you can participate in social networks, in social forums, and by creating your own small business groups to help everyone succeed faster. We live in a world of WE, not in a world of ME. The Internet has put us in a place where we can be in contact with almost anyone at any time. Due to the rapid pace of innovation, technology is improving faster than most people can handle. There is no reason to let this stop you from learning.
The third trend is a faltering US economy. It will become in? I have hope, like many others.
Would you invest your life savings in hope? your retirement? Your dreams? Would you bet your entire future on that 4-letter word? I won’t, and I recommend that you take the necessary steps to learn the skills you need to move forward and become self-sufficient, and not rely on outside sources for your future. You have to, in a sense, learn to become your own bank. The currently slumping economy got many sparks from the housing and mortgage market slump, as well as continued sparks from layoffs and downsizing at several large companies. There are many ways to get ahead, and because of all the positive trends discussed above, the opportunities are endless.
Network marketing is a great way to get ahead, if sustained time and effort is put in, success will be achieved. With all of the above trends in mind, a network marketing business makes a lot of sense.
In closing, it is important to note that these 3 massive trends are not separate from each other. The world’s growing powers and capabilities are increasing exponentially with fast-paced technological innovations, which are rapidly increasing with the powers of mass collaboration. The faltering US economy can take these trends into account and improve faster using these trends, or as a whole. Or, as a whole, the US economy may not take trends into account and thus will dry up under worse conditions.
The purpose of this article is in no way political. In part, the purpose is to help you open your eyes and inspire you to dig deeper into these trends. Overall, the main goal of this article is to show that IF you learn about, take notice of, and get into action mode regarding these massive trends, your odds of success have never been better.
