Millennials and the Issue of NOW

Author Ryan    Category Uncategorized     Tags ,

After a meeting yesterday with some interesting intellectuals, the topic of Millennials (you know that buzz word) came up. Although the the actual topic doesn’t necessarily figure 100% into the millennial mindset, it does have a major influence on almost everyone today. I’m talking about the issue of Immediate Impact.

Think of Environmentalism, Volunteerism, etc. The thing people today want to see a lot of is impact. “Impact Change!” I’m not quite sure what has brought this on, but people aren’t really motivated to stay at a job for 40 years, get a decent retirement, and then retire as a 100% consumer in today’s world. Millennials, and everyone else today, want to see how they can impact their community, their world, and their future… why do you think the environment is so important? Its about not screwing it up for ourselves later! That’s a whole different issue though.

The issue of ‘Change Now’ is a mindset that many people feel today, and why shouldn’t they? From entrepreneurs to religious missionaries or green buffs, people desire the knowledge and satisfaction that comes with doing something that they believe in. There may be monetary benefits, health benefits, or whatever, but still, it is the drug for self empowerment. I can totally understand this as I am constantly in search for something where I can be a part of the change. That is why I try to write in this blog! It might not be the end-result, but maybe it can one day chronicalize my search… and when it is found.. will be kind of hilarious to read.

Do you feel like you need to do something where you can understand, see, or feel the impact ASAP? Maybe this is why entrepreneurs have such a hard time staying still. There is always something better and more exciting just around the corner right?
