How do you envision your business or industry 10 or even 20 years from now?

This is a good exercise to do, isn’t it?

If you answered ‘no’, I hope with what I am going to share with you today will give you an example as to what ‘future visioning’ can do for you and your business.

Let me give you an example. In a 1983 speech Steve Jobs said the following; “We want to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you carry around with you, and you can learn how to use in 20 minutes.” Then he continued by saying that ‘this’ computer, would have a “radio link” that would allow a user to be free from wires while using the device.

Doesn’t this explanation sound a lot like the iPad? Of course it does and of course Apple developed that. When are you going to start envisioning what the future of your business or industry is going to look like?

If Steven Jobs wouldn’t have envisioned the iPad do you think it would have become a reality?
