KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a natural curiosity - Listening rather than speaking, asking questions and being engaged. Always ask why. The desire to solve problems - A trend can just be a solution to solving an ongoing problem, Try to always find solutions, even if they don’t yet exist. Listening and engaging with online communities - Get engaged with the people in your industry, the people in your business, your passion, and your profession. Jumping in early, but not too early - Let others go first to reduce risk. Let others jump in early so you can gauge if it’s a trend you should follow. Use various online tools - FInd out what’s trending on platforms with Facebook analytics, Google trends, Twitter trends. Search what’s trending, what’s going viral and what people are talking about. When entering a market, don’t go all in - Create a minimal viable product, something raw but ready. You’ve got to decide and act fast - You can spend time perfecting your product or service when you know there’s a viable market. You need to have a general interest - Don’t just jump on a trend because it’s hot, you need to be interested in what you’re selling. Does it suit your passion and profession? Studying history and passed trends - You will see how past trends boom or bust, learn to spot when it will burn out. It will help you with the future. Get mentors and follow the successful - Learn from those that have gone before you. BEST MOMENTS “Don’t put all your time, money and effort into something that doesn’t work.” “You can spend time perfecting a product or service once you know the market that you’re in, but you can miss trends if you don’t act fast and get something out there for the early adopters.” “Let the early adopters do the expensive testing.” “Study the history of business in your passion or profession and it will give you an indicator of future trends.” “Constantly fixing things will create opportunities.” “Get good mentors and model the best.” “There’s always a tomorrow that can solve the future of today.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES www.Trendhunter.com www.Trendwatching.com www.Coolhunting.com www.Moreinspriation.com www.Coolbusinessideas.com www.Thetrendspotter.net www.Thecoolist.com www.Ted.com https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
