Idea Behind Company
Kalaboukis’ lifelong fascination with futuristic possibilities inspired Think Future. His belief that fear and resistance to change hinder innovation shaped the company’s mission. Kalaboukis realized that the biggest obstacle to embracing the future wasn’t technology but people’s mindsets. He envisioned a business that would provide the tools and confidence to overcome these barriers, enabling individuals and businesses to innovate fearlessly and craft their desired futures.
Creating the Company
Think Future began as a response to Kalaboukis’ frustrations while working at a struggling startup. He identified common organizational pitfalls that stifled innovation, such as cultural inertia and fear of the unknown. Drawing on his expertise, he designed bespoke innovation programs and tools to tackle these challenges. He also wrote books and launched a podcast, “thinkfuture with Kalaboukis,” to share insights and engage with a broader audience. These initiatives laid the foundation for his consultancy’s unique approach to problem-solving.
Launching the Business
Starting Think Future was a leap into the unknown for Kalaboukis, an engineer unfamiliar with sales. He built the business by networking and pitching his ideas informally to contacts. Without aggressive sales tactics, he relied on the inherent value of his services to attract clients. His simple yet effective methods—creating a basic WordPress website, branding the company, and directly approaching prospective clients—led to a steady stream of contracts. This approach underscored the importance of delivering relevant solutions to a specific audience.
Earnings
Think Future has grown into a highly profitable enterprise with $293,220 in monthly revenue. Kalaboukis’ 12-hour workdays focus on client engagements, while ongoing efforts aim to scale the business through online courses and workshops. Though exact financial details remain undisclosed, the company’s profitability reflects its niche expertise and efficient lead-generation strategies. By automating processes and focusing on high-value services, Think Future continues to thrive in a competitive market.
