Are you future ready?

'It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves'
William Shakespeare

A friend of mine runs a printing press. He is presently in a dilemma: whether to continue his press or close it? The reason is one of his major customers who accounted for nearly 70 percent of his business has left him! My friend was having his very small press until he met this customer who made a very big difference to the scale of his business. For the past nearly fifteen years my friend was very happy about the volume of his order. He stopped marketing his business. He slowly slipped into his 'comfort zone'!
Many of us also commit this same mistake. We allow just one person to decide our present state of life. We totally -depend on just one person and when that one person leaves us, we become directionless.
This applies not only to our present life, but also to our future. We depend on one person, one customer, one skill, one product to decide our future. One person, one customer, one skill, one job, one, knowledge......
We have to expand. We have to become self reliant. We have to come out of our comfort zone. We have to reach out to the larger world of exciting and infinite opportunities!
We have to become 'future ready'!
