Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"Trust in your next step more than you fear the fall" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>What's holding you back?</p><p>Why are you not trying?</p><p>Why are you frozen?</p><p>These are some of the questions I've asked myself of others as I began to work on the Mediocrity series of books. In them, I've been trying to capture what it is that holds some people back from moving forward while others seem to have the 'right stuff.' A lot of it seems to have to do with how we treat the issues of action and risk.</p><p>And I kept on coming back to the issue that through the years, I've seen a lot of people and organizations who haven't had the confidence to take the first step. They are convinced that they don't have the right skills, the right idea, or the right mindset. The result is they never even bother trying because they convince themselves right out of the gate that they are doomed to fail - and fear the failure more than they should. </p><p>One of the worst things we can ever do in the arc of our trajectory is to never take the first step to try something. That's why mindset matters - if you ever find yourself in these circumstances, know that your hope for your future should outweigh your doubt about your potential for success!</p><p>Think about it - you might have big dreams for your future, but they also carry within you an innate fear of what comes next. That’s because the future is uncertain, unknown, unpredictable. The result of the uncertainty is that we can often begin to doubt our potential at the same time that we have big ideas about what we might be able to accomplish. We then up living a life in which our goals and our realities are always in a state of mismatch, and we end up never being happy with our situation.</p><p>Different people approach this conundrum in different ways. Some manage to let their hope override their doubt and bust through to success. In other cases, the doubt far outweighs the hope and failure is the result - but at least they've tried. And then there is the muddling middle, hope and doubt are equally balanced, such that action never happens - and mediocrity rules their lives.<br><br>Bust the equilibrium. Shift the balance. Tilt the scale! </p><p>Recognize that you have a choice as to how your future turns out, and a lot of it depends on the attitude that you carry around with you; the determination that you embed within your soul; and the focus that you feature in your mindset.<br><br>Be relentless in thinking about your hopes and dreams, and actively work every dispel the doubt! That can be the one key thing that tips the scales in your favor!</p><p>Let your belief in tomorrow be louder than your fear of it. Stack your hope higher than your hesitation. Let your dreams shout louder than your doubts whisper. Make your hope heavier than your hesitation. <br>When the future feels uncertain, choose to bet on yourself, and when in doubt, lean harder into your potential.</p><p>Because you should fuel your ambition more than you feed your fear!</p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trust</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Confidence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Confidence</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Action</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Fear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fear</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Mindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mindset</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Growth</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Potential" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Potential</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Courage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Courage</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Hesitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hesitation</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Momentum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Momentum</span></a></p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/05/daily-inspiration-trust-in-your-next-step-more-than-you-fear-the-fall/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/05/daily-i</span><span class="invisible">nspiration-trust-in-your-next-step-more-than-you-fear-the-fall/</span></a></p>

Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"Don't focus on keeping your business alive. Focus on keeping your customers inspired." - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>In a downturn, you need to be customer-focused, not company-centered.<br>Crisis pulls you inward, but growth demands you look outward. And in a downturn, obsessing over evolving customer needs is how you find your next growth curve.</p><p>Look, when uncertainty strikes, it’s natural to look inward. Protect what you have. Defend your position. Hunker down and wait it out. But growth doesn’t come from within.</p><p>It comes from listening to the people you serve - your customers. In every downturn, the companies that come out stronger are those that never lose sight of one thing: customer behavior is changing faster than your business model. Economic volatility reshapes priorities:</p><p>-how customers spend<br>- what they value<br>- what they trust<br>- what they expect next</p><p>And in that shifting landscape lies your greatest opportunity—if you’re paying attention.</p><p>The thing is - your customers were already changing before this moment, but now it accelerating. Customer behavior was undergoing a massive transformation:</p><p>- customers became less loyal and far more demanding.<br>- they expected instant support, frictionless service, and constant innovation.<br>loyalty eroded fast—1 in 3 highly loyal customers in 2007 switched brands in 2008.<br>- they're more informed—often knowing more than your frontline staff.<br>- they expect your brand to match the pace of a global innovation feedback loop.<br>- their attention spans are short, buying behavior erratic, and brand expectations sky-high.<br>- peer networks and reviews now outweigh traditional marketing as purchase drivers.<br>- demographics are shifting—Gen Z and Gen Alpha expect personalization, ethics, and purpose.<br>- values are evolving fast: transparency, sustainability, authenticity, and speed now define success.</p><p>In this landscape, customer expectations don’t slow down during a downturn—they sharpen. That's because they are supersensitive to everything - price, quality, level of service. Their expectations of you go through the roof because it's their hard-earned money, and they want the best they can get!<br>In a downturn, companies don’t just survive because they “stay the course.”</p><p>They redefine the course based on where the customer is headed. This means that right now, you need to be obsessively customer-focused.</p><p>**<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Customers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Customers</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Focus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Focus</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Inspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inspiration</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Loyalty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Loyalty</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Growth</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Adaptation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Adaptation</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Value" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Value</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Listening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Listening</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trust</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Opportunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Opportunity</span></a>**</p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/05/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-dont-focus-on-keeping-your-business-alive-focus-on-keeping-your-customers-inspired/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/05/decodin</span><span class="invisible">g-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-dont-focus-on-keeping-your-business-alive-focus-on-keeping-your-customers-inspired/</span></a></p>
Bhante Subharo ☸️<p>I've been doing a lot of thinking around the nature of trust. I received the highly beneficial advice to think over who the most trustworthy people actually are, in my life. A diagram that looks like a bullseye was drawn, and I was invited to fill in actual names of people I know - where do they belong within the rings of the bullseye? The people in the middle are the most trustworthy, and the outermost rings are where the least trustworthy names go.</p><p>It was difficult to decide who's name belonged in which ring of the bullseye. So I assigned numbers to the rings of the bullseye. 1 was in the middle, 9 was right outside the bullseye. I then made a list of all the people I knew. I assigned them all numbers, then thought over the numbers, occasionally changing a number a little more or less.</p><p>When I was finished, I described the meaning of all the numbers, 1 through 9. This labeling made the most sense to me, to give more meaning to these numbers. Here they are:</p><p>1. Deep trust. Someone who totally accepts you as you are.</p><p>2. Someone who wouldn't betray you, has affinity with you, but you can't say they totally accept you as you are. They'd like to see you change.</p><p>3. A friend with a solid character, but affinity? Maybe.</p><p>4. A "fair-weather friend".</p><p>5. Any random stranger on the street. No positive or negative to speak of; still undefined and mysterious. No basis of judgement yet.</p><p>6. Negativity starts here, but it's very subtle and insidious; well hidden. Psychological predation and deception begins here. Plays mind games. Wants to come out looking better than you. Is certainly a "frenemy" or perhaps even worse, wants to turn you into a "flying monkey". A 6 has the mind of a perfect salesman or ambassador. Uses a lot of paltering; deceptive framing of everything. Plays on emotions a lot, seldom facts, unless they fit a narrative.</p><p>7. Corrupt. Has a mind of a racketeer.</p><p>8. Sketchy.

Erik Jonker<p>It's a small detail but it shows the current way DOGE operates, it makes any trust in US cybersecurity, data and privacy protection dissappear. Not only for governments but also in company contexts. If DOGE is allowed to break all majors laws, US Government and the current oligarchs will also break any other contract or agreement if needed. Just like with immigrants there is no "rule of law".<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trust</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>government</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/geopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geopolitics</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/geopolitics" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>geopolitics</span></a></span></p>
