Will you be ready for them or will you jump on them as the parade passes by? The world is changing, and that’s scary. But like all change, it brings opportunities, making right now an exciting time to get in on the ground floor of major opportunities. The world right now is in an economic mess and that’s why you can be sure it’s going to change and quickly. So you can sit and lament or you can safely start taking actions to be in the right places to recognize and take advantage of what’s to come. What if you invested or became a supplier to Google or Ebay, or YouTube 10 years ago? What if you invested d in IBM and Microsoft 30 years ago? Even with the market crashing, you’d still be doing very well. That’s because 10 years ago and 30 years ago there was new technology that was growing fast and Google and the others happened to be players running with that technology. Today we are on the verge of all sorts of transitions - alte ative energy, the green movement, different types of cars, as well as the continuation of the internet taking over everyday life. We also have all of the Obama initiatives - spending for bridges and infrastructure, alte ative energy, education, healthcare, etc. These spending programs will be great opportunities to grow rich. And the beauty of all of these is the technology learning curves are over. These will be main stream very quickly. So instead of complaining about the state of the economy today, one should be positioning for the arena they can best play in and invest accordingly.
