Visions Of The Future
By Maxim Behar
The true measure of a businessperson’s success lies not only in financial gains but mostly in their visionary capacity to predict and navigate the future.
Just 20 years ago, companies like Coca-Cola or other giants couldn’t think of more than 4–5 billion. People like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, in the very beginning, had 4–5 billion, and we all said they were billionaires. Now, they have hundreds of billions, but it’s not about money or even owning technology.
It’s about the visions that businesspeople can have.
Regardless of what it is, businesspeople can think 15–20 years ahead because they know what they want and how to get from point A to point B. It is harder to predict now because we do not know where technologies will develop, but they know where point B is and will make their way. The more you create this path, the more successful you become in business. If you follow the traditional route, you will earn some money and reach B, but much slower, and you will be tired by then.
With people of Musk’s or Bill Gates’ rank, 99% depends on them — not on the decisions they make daily but on their vision of where point B is and whether they know the shortest and most successful path to it.
