Framework on how to think of future
Raise your hand if your inspiration of features comes from your competitors.
Yeah not anymore. So let me tell you one good way to think.
So if you are ever in a situation where you have to imagine how a particular behaviour will evolve in future then this is how you can do it .
Assume that you have all the resources in the world. Like all that money can buy but ofcourse you do not have much time well because even the richest live the same amount of years.
Now imagine what would you if you needed X. And that's the direction that the general market will take in future.
Your goal should be to bring that experience to the mass audience. Let me share some examples
1.) Its 7PM , you are hungry and craving for some exotic Thai noddles . What do you do ?
Ans - You ask your chef to prepare it. He does the shopping , chopping etc etc ofcourse.
Now think who does this today ?
- Zomato , Instamart , Urban Clap etc.
2.) You are at home , suddenly your entire family has to go to someplace . You have a family of 10. What do you do ?
Ans - Well ask your chauffeurs to bring around the limo probably
Who does this today ? - Uber
3.) You have all the money in the world. You don't want to work. You want to enjoy life but in your residence . What do you do ?
Ans - Well your agent plans an evening of entertainment for you.
Who does this today ? - Instagram. Entertainment on demand. Everyone is dancing at your fingertips ( or thumb )
It takes time to adjust to this framework because while looking back these things might look clear but looking forward its very very hard to imagine .
