Futurist Jim Carroll

Daily Inspiration: "Find your niche. Be the specialist that others seek" - Futurist Jim Carroll

When I went out on my own back in 1989, I never presumed that the potential market for my unique way of thinking would be the small geographic radius around me.

I presumed it was the world.

Let me take you back to 1987 - I'm reading the New York Times, and BAM! There it is: "Tomorrow's Company Won't Have Walls." It's a prediction about the organization of the future, and it captured my imagination, arguing that specialized, niche knowledge was the way of tomorrow. Looking back, it was a concise overview of today's modern organization - one that is based on access to specialized niche knowledge, wherever it might be.

The predictive power of this article still resonates with me today. Fast forward through decades of disruption, and that prediction wasn't just right - it was revolutionary!

Think about it: In a world where organizations are fluid, virtual, and borderless, your expertise can be global, and demand-oriented in reality.  We are now living in what might be called the 'expertise economy' - one that involves absolutely massive hyper-specialization. With knowledge exploding, no one can ever know everything there is to know, and so there are only a few people who know the increasingly narrow niches of knowledge that others need to know.

That's your niche.
Be one of those individuals, and your market is the world.

The fact is, the future is screaming at us, and here's what it's saying: "The era of the generalist is over." In this era of exponential change, the real winners are those who drill deep into their unique expertise zones and own them. In this world that involves a tsunami of information, who rises to the top? The specialists. The niche experts.

The focused innovators who know exactly where their genius lies and aren't afraid to double down on it.
