About the Minitrends Blog

“The objective of this book is quite simple — to provide you, the reader, with information, insights, and suggestions that will materially improve your business situation, your financial standing, and your personal satisfaction.”

Those are the first words in the book, MINITRENDS: How Innovators & Entrepreneurs Discover & Profit From Business & Technology Trends. That same objective guides this blog — to provide you with information, insights, and suggestions that will materially improve your life. One of the unique aspects of our book is that we take your lifestyle into account, not just your ambitions. We know that you have limited time for reading a blog. We are not going to waste your time with personal observations that have nothing to do with exploiting trends, or with filler, just because we don’t have a good story.

The end result is a stream of Minitrends guaranteed to challenge and inspire you. As that stream accumulates, it becomes a large pool of money-making opportunities that will help you discover and exploit trends that work for you.

Do you have a Minitrends story to share? Can you point us to a news item we missed? Do you have something to add to the discussion, or a different take on one of our stories? We want to hear from you, whether by commenting on our blog, sending email, or calling us. We are anxious to hear about Minitrends you have discovered and about your own process for capitalizing on them.

Please feel free to write, phone, or comment anytime. You’ll receive a prompt reply and our gratitude for helping improve the Minitrends blog and the Minitrends process, just as we hope the Minitrends blog improves your business situation, financial standing, and personal satisfaction.

With Thanks,

John and Carrie
