“We live in a time of change. Today, everything in the world is changing rapidly. If you don’t change the situation, then tomorrow you will be overtaken by your competitors” – this is how most business books published over the past 20 years begin.

I don’t agree with that. This is an exaggeration. Consultants write so to make readers feel how outdated they are, and make them run to pay money for “magic pills” – an advice from consultants.

Change has become part of our daily routine. New technologies appear every day. And we become either their creators, or users. We can no longer stay beyond the world global trends.

Companies implement automation, digitalization, and pass work to robots and artificial intelligence. Knowledge management systems reduces dependence on personel.

The key problem is that technology is changing the way of consumption, not the habits themselves. People used to read newspapers, but now the content is in the Internet. We used to meet to share the latest gossip – now it is discussed in social networks. We made calls to discuss work and personal issues – now we exchange messages and emojis in messengers. We used to go shopping – now we order delivery after choosing goods in the online store. Used to read paper books – now we read electronic ones or listen to audio. In fact, a little has changed…

Not many people change their basic approach to life. You went to work. The employer has decided that part of the functions you can perform from home. And now you already go to work not 5, but 2 or 4 times a week. This saves time. But the essence of the work has not changed. The same employer pays you the same money regularly 2 times a month. Almost everything is as it was before.

The point of this book is to show the new reality. Reality in which you work from anywhere in the world for employers who can be located in any country.

Isn’t it interesting?

Let’s go then!
