This is where you must start making those shifts in your mindset & lifestyle to position yourself for success

The world as you know has been changed forever. We can clearly define the pre corona world and the post corona world. So, based on research, let me highlight some of the industries that are gonna thrive post corona and one must start making a shift towards these soon :-

  1. Selling your skills online — As more and more people are looking online to solve their problems or learn, sell of digital products will boom in the years to come. Physical products require all kind of headache to ship, package, commision etc but digital products in the form of information which is structured for users to grow will sell more and more. Digital products could be in the field of education, money, health, relationships etc. Look for ways you can solve people’s problems online and make a product around it to earn money.
  2. Gig Economy — We have slowly moved from a consumption based economy to an experiential economy. Uber is an example of a gig economy. You just pay the person for moving from A to B. You do not own the car nor the driver. Freelancing is an example of a gig economy. You do not hire a person full time rather ask them to work for a project against a pay. Paying people for a micro project. The whole concept of payroll is going to change. Other such example is Airbnb.
  3. Stock Market Investing — While the markets are crashing, this is the time when the investors are making most of the money. We are talking about value investing, algo trading, forex, day trading etc. Next few years will be for investing your money and seeing it grow.
  4. Home Gardening —More and more people will be looking for growing their vegetables and fruits at home. Why will you want to buy them from outside when you can grow them at the terrace of your home. Look for the word “Hydroponics”, which will be trending in time to come. One can educate themselves on this topic and help others do the same while making money too.
  5. Online Coaching / Teaching — With so much information already available now online, people will look for coaching to help them solve their problems and grow. Fields such as business coaching (which I do), health coaching, relationships coaching will grow in years to come and are believed to be the skills of the 21st century.
  6. Mental Health — As I talk to people online, I see mental health wellness is a topic that needs highlight and attention. People have lost their jobs, business etc and are in need of psychiatrists and psychologists for mental wellness. If you are focusing on mental health as a topic, you can thrive.
  7. Alternate Energy — Now with the awareness of people increasing with the global shifts happening, more and more people are gonna talk about wind, solar energies and we will see lot of innovations in these fields.
  8. Insurance —With the sudden shifts post corona, more and more people will look for security and opt for insurance services.
  9. Alternate Medicine — As more and more people are getting educated online, we will see boost of alternate forms of healing such as Ayurveda, Homeopathy etc. A good industry to be in.
  10. Gaming — Gaming is a huge industry. During corona times also, people have enjoyed gaming and will continue to do so as their main source of entertainment.
  11. Online Healthcare — Another big industry to be in. People will look for online consultations and reading reviews of medicines before making a decision.
  12. Affiliate Marketing — This is a multi million dollar industry. Helping people through promoting other people’s products. But make sure to promote products that you yourself have benefitted from and can benefit others.
  13. Network Marketing —Best way to position yourself is through sales by building your own network. But make sure to research the company you are associating with and has a proven track record and is still relevant post corona. People will look for alternate sources of income online.
  14. Data Sciences — This is the future of the internet. We are talking about IOT, Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence. Those of you who are in this space should continue to be so and others can make a shift by start learning about it online.
  15. Spiritual Sciences — People always had a inclination towards Vaastu, Tarot Reading, Healing, Astrology and this is going to grow more and more now. This is a science and more and more people will look for ways to feel fulfilled spiritually and become curious to find their purpose in life.

There might be more industries of the future but these 15 are for sure will show growth.
