2010, to start collecting

Recently I read an article entitled "King Midas", which referred to one of the wealthiest Colombian businessmen and who said that his success in business had a lot to do with vision, and with investing in land where others did not see opportunities or that they considered dead dogs, speaking in terms of the parent company of the Boston Consulting Group (BCG, for its acronym in English). The feeling that the note left me is that vision is a gift of very few, but it is undoubtedly what makes the difference between the winners and the common people.

It's no secret that 2009 will go down in history as the year that hit the world economy in a way we no longer remembered. Many industries went under, other companies were bought, many jobs disappeared, in short. However, this situation has its opposite face. There were some who invested and took risks, most likely against the odds.

The traditional ones heard the word crisis and went out to sell, it is more they ran to sell. I think that those photos published by the international press in which Wall Street stock market operators are seen in panic is not very useful for business, because if these guys who are used to the volatilities of the economy put those faces, then what are we going to do ordinary people. Flee!

So for those who ignored the photo and invested, then surely 2010 will be the year that begins to bear fruit. Let us not be deceived, because the figures will not be bombastic, but they will be positive. In other words, 2010 will be the year of the harvest and in which the already trite pessimism will be  left to observe how the economy is recomposed.

After observing all the economic movement of last year I have only one doubt. How do these visionaries foresee where to put their money? How do you predict what will happen in business in a given period? I think it's time to go back to business foresight or start asking. What do you think? Send me your thoughts to [email protected].

A happy 2010.
