Templosion: Navigating the Implosion of Time in Life & Business

Hi there,

Marissa here. On behalf of Lior, Erica, Jared and myself, thank you for attending our panel at CoachCon. Your presence was so meaningful to us, and we're grateful for the opportunity to share our perspectives on the many opportunities entrepreneurs have to create a bigger future.

During the panel, we touched on the concept of templosion - a topic that resonated with many of you. This email dives deeper into templosion, with examples curated from The Future Hunters' archive to help you navigate this phenomenon in your life and business with confidence.

As an entrepreneur, what in your life is in the highest demand and shortest supply? For most of us, the answer is simple: time.

Three practical examples of templosion in action:

1. Non-Linear Life Trajectory: Traditional life stages are becoming harder to define as people move in with their children, have multiple careers, or delay starting families. 

   • How can you embrace non-linearity in your life and business? 

   • How can you proactively design a life that aligns with your unique values and goals, and help those closest to you do the same?

2. The Bespoke Life: One-size-fits-all approaches to learning, work, and family are becoming the exception rather than the norm. Bespoke work arrangements are on the rise, but not all sectors can accommodate them equally (yet). 

   • How can you create (or expand) a tailored life experience that optimizes your time and energy?

   • Where can your company culture and processes enable and/or accommodate individual working styles?

3. Redefining Generations: Technology is changing so rapidly that even kids born a few years apart struggle to have the same cultural and technological frames of reference. 

   • From a values and beliefs perspective, how many microgenerations are represented in your company?

   • How can you leverage the unique strengths of each microgeneration in your team while fostering understanding and collaboration?

Mining opportunities from templosion

To turn templosion into an opportunity, consider these imperatives:

1. Embrace long-term thinking. Are you focused on sustainable innovation cycles that support your vision, or are you trapped in the cycle of short-term wins?

2. Cultivate escape velocity. How can you free up your organization from bureaucracy and outdated thinking to thrive in any future scenario?

3. Differentiate yourself. In a world where industries overlap, how can you define your business in new ways and become a technology company in your own right? (And how can you arm your team with this language?)

4. Develop your "special sauce." What unique mix of foresight, resources, and timing will help you and your business reap the rewards of the AI revolution?

5. Prioritize vision over strategy. Are you holding onto a timeless vision while remaining flexible in your strategies? If not, where can you embrace adaptability even more?
