Opportunities will abound in 2021...


Newminimalists will harvest a multitude of opportunities next year...



A tulip petal in the rain - beauty in a storm

It is difficult to see the beauty of future opportunities in a storm of illness and economic destruction [see photo].


It is impossible to see future opportunities when looking through the glasses of precedence.


Alternatively. One needs to put on glasses that do not recognise what was "normal" in 2019 and look for what will become "usual" in 2021 and beyond.


The old economy of 2019 is never coming back. The flaws in that model are now apparent. These flaws were hidden from us in the past due to the government slashing interest rates and artificially boosting cashflow through unprecedented dependence on debt. Debt was used as a universal lever that raised asset prices across all classes. However. In January 2020 that lever broke.


The opportunities that will appear in the next twelve months for you and your familial will be most apparent and most accessible in your local economy. This will be a new economy where individuals contribute to the community for payment and for the rewards of helping others. This new economy will not be super impressed with diplomas and degrees because the needs are for skills, intellect, imagination, discipline, social conscience, and unrelenting effort. This new economy will be a networked system of supply and demand. The key nodes will be focused on productivity not on jobs. The links beyond the local network and into the global networks will be open and thus content will be easily transferrable. Perhaps one way to think about all this is that the new local network will be akin to an Intranet while the new global network will remain an open access Internet. One can work in either or both networks but the "reach and scope" of each entity is fit for purpose. And so it is your purpose that will frame how you use either the Intranet [local economy] or the Internet [global economy].


It is difficult to predict what the specific 2021 opportunities will prove to be for you. However. One thing seems certain, you will not see your prescient opportunities if you have your 2019 glasses while observing what is happening in this virus pandemic and economic shutdown.


Put on your 2021 glasses today and start looking for your specific opportunities.
