Long-term changes are known as trends Temporary or short-term changes are known as fads Both can be profitable if done right

Forecasting Trends A forecast is a prediction about the future Although there is no guarantee, a careful analysis of past events can help you make educated guesses Being able to chart data and analyze the results will help you identify trends that represent opportunities For example, past entrepreneurs noticed jobs becoming less physically demanding, so predicted a growth in demand for fitness clubs, health food, exercise equipment, etc.

What do you think the population of the less developed world will be in the year 2100? What additional factors would you need to think about to be accurate?
