What were you doing
30 years ago?

Eurasia was
established when US
and Imperial soldiers
withdrew from
continental Europe,
thus the USSR
conquered Europe
against slight
opposition

Big Brother is the
enigmatic dictator of
Oceania, a totalitarian
state taken to its
utmost logical
consequence – where
the ruling Party wields
total power for its own
sake over the
inhabitants.

Eastasia emerges as the
3rd supercontinent of
China, Japan and Asia.
It becomes the global
economic powerhouse,
driving global growth. It
is led through
totalitarian control and
double think
propaganda.

The world the media portrays is like the
world of oppression and fear in George
Orwell’s 1984.
But there is another world of optimism and
opportunity that exists.

• Funding is more
available than ever
• Cost of entry is at an all
time low
• Startup incubators are

• The world is now a
single market
• Women are a growing
force as entrepreneurs
New Era of Entrepreneurs

The paradox of
change
Don’t be so busy looking for
intelligence outside, you forget to
grow the intelligence inside…

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.”
~ Arthur C Clarke

“One of the definitions of sanity is
the ability to tell real from unreal.
Soon we’ll need a new definition.”
~ Alvin Toffler

Our connected world is moving from words
to pictures to mobile, video and virtual
worlds
Here’s a case study of Vaughn Clair who
pivoted into the world of mobile payments
by building his brand as a ‘leading learner’
in the field.

Here’s another case study of Anthony
Chadwick who went from a Vet to
Webinarvet, where he is now delivering to
Vets the hours of required certified training
online, and bringing to them experts in each
field of expertise.

Wave 1: World Wide Wave
Impact
1. Expectations have gone up

New York Times bestselling book in six
months.

7 Steps
1. Create a scalable path to customer intimacy
2. Conversation vs Survey vs Assessment
3. Personality Assessments vs Progress
Assessments
4. Measuring Interactions vs Measuring Actions

customers share, not what we share
7. Create gold dust

GOLD DUST
1. Automatically scalable
2. Zero cost or profitable
3. Takes none of your time

TREASURE CHEST
1. Unique to you
2. More you share, the more you make

Here’s a case study of Lachlan and Lisa
Laing, who launched their online econappy
business, Ecoriginals, and used
engagement strategies, competitions and
pre-orders from mother & baby exhibitions
to fund their first shipments of econappies
from China.
The biggest similar business in the US, The
Honest Company, is now reaching $1 billion
valuation.

Here’s another case study of Neeraj
Takiar, who has built a brand around his
property business, Luxome, for student
accomodation, which is giving him far
higher returns, and attracting investors in
a way that non-branded property
investors do not.

Wave 2: Age of Engagement
Impact
1. We’re in information overload
2. Engagement trumps content
“The future of marketing is not in what
content you create and share, but what
content your customers and partners
create and share.”
Action
Your Marketing

2. Automate your measures
3. Reward your customers
Yourself
1. Focus on attraction vs action
2. Enhance before expand
3. To get bigger, focus smaller

Platforms like Amazon and Facebook use
backward-facing engagement, based on
your past history and habits.
As an education platform, we use forward-facing
engagement, based on assessments
of who you are and where you are going - to
create new habits instead of repeating old
ones.

Globalization is trying to go global with one
big company: The titanic strategy
Globularization is going global through a
network of collaborative, entrepreneurial

don’t make a bubble bath with one big

Here’s a case study of Emma

relocated to Bali to follow her
passion and purpose

The phrase ‘3D Printing’ does not do justice
to one of the biggest approaching waves.
‘Materialization’ will digitize products in the
same way media has been digitize.
This will democratize the creation and
consumption of products in everything from
consumer products, cars, planes
to our homes, food and bodies.

to the artisan age.”

The power grid made energy ubiquitous and
at the heart of our
day-to-day lives.
The intelligence grid is doing the same. The
internet of things is triggering a wave which
will be far bigger than the Internet has in the
last 20 years.

We are already merging our human
intelligence with artificial intelligence.
This merging of minds is now extending to a
merging of human and artificial with our
bodies.
This will ultimately lead to our biology being
fully digitized, programmable, repairable and
replaceable.

Google and Amazon are acquiring robot
companies. Why? Because artificial
intelligence is moving from fixed machines
to moving machines.

Ray Kurzweil predicts that by around 2040
we will reach the singularity. That is when
smarter than human intelligence will exist
and be able to replicate and enhance itself.
That’s 30 years from now.

When the storm is coming, the surfers get
their surf boards because they know the
waves will be even bigger.
What’s your surf board? It needs to be the
triangle of your personal brand, your
company brands and your product brands.
Hold on to this, and you can surf from one
wave to the next.

The coming space age is changing our
relationship with our planet.
By having access to unlimited space,
energy and raw materials, we will have no
need to continue to extract from and polute
Spaceship Earth.

“Humanity is taking its final exam.
We have come to an extraordinary moment
when it doesn’t have to be you or me anymore.
There is enough for all.”
~ Buckminster Fuller

We are reaching 2015 - The target date for
the UN Millennium Goals.
There is a new wave of positive change at
hand, with new technologies and a
connected world we did not have in 2000.
What we collectively achieve in the next 15
years will depend on our level of collective
consciousness.

“Wealth isn’t how much
money you have.
Wealth is what you’re left
with if you lose
all your money.”
