Many businesses across the world have yet to adapt to business in the internet age, legacy business (and mental) models still prevail is most industries; even when some adoption has occurred in established economies.

Great business leaders constantly scan and consider how changes in the environment will affect their business in the long run, they develop their business acumen by asking themselves the following questions:

  • What is happening in the world today?
  • What does it mean for others?
  • What does it mean for us?
  • What would have to happen first (for the results we want to occur)?
  • What do we have to do to play a role?
  • What do we do next?

Answering these questions doesn’t mean that you will have it all figured out, it simply means that you will, at the very least, have started a new thought process.

With all of the above said, this is how you should think about opportunities in any area or sector to survive and thrive today: any business that has not yet been totally disrupted by the existence of the internet will be.
