10 Ways to Prepare For The Unknown

Here are 10 ways how you can predict future trends in business and life:

  • If you’re over the age of 25, assume your initial reactions about new trends are wrong.
  • If people talk about it on Reddit, you’re early. If they talk about it on LinkedIn, you’re late.
  • If multiple smart people tell you about a new idea, don’t delay betting on it before you understand it. If you wait for society to educate you, you’ll be too late.
