You can get ready for the future by following three steps:
Anticipate the future requirements for skills and knowledge within the context in which you are operating.
Acquire the right skills and knowledge to bridge any gaps between future and present states.
Act now. (Take action now, rather than procrastinating.) ‘Just do it’ will be your motto.
- Anticipate
- Acquire
- Act
Anticipate the Future Requirements
I have documented no less than 62 possible threats to our job security in my book, Shocking Secrets Every Worker Needs to Know: How To Future-Proof Your Job, Increase Your Income, and Protect Your Wealth In Today’s Digital Age.
These threats include job loss due to automation and organizational redundancies, the inability to pay increasing daily expenses due to low wage growth, and the inability to find full-time jobs due to changing demographics.
The speed at which automation will be deployed in our workplaces and lives will take many people off guard because of their complacency or ignorance of what automation and machines are capable of doing.
