Improved connectivity is helping more Brits realise their dream — in both business and personal life
Vodafone finds nearly half of Britons think being better connected has helped them to achieve personal and career goals
A Vodafone survey reveals that a nation of ambitious Brits is actively pursuing major goals in both personal and professional spheres. The research, conducted by VodafoneThree, shows that 85% of respondents have a significant ambition they are working towards. Over half of the participants believe the digital era has made it easier to find opportunities, while 42% feel their connectivity has positively impacted their ability to reach their goals.
The research also uncovers the obstacles preventing people from achieving their aspirations. Financial constraints emerge as the primary barrier, cited by 22% of those surveyed. However, personal challenges such as lack of confidence (13%), fear of failure (12%), and limited access to self-improvement tools (9%) also hinder progress. Life events, on the other hand, can be seen as catalysts for pursuing ambitions. Bereavement (27%), redundancy (25%), and parenthood (25%) have all spurred individuals to chase their goals.
Vodafone's Opportunity Hub, launched in London, aims to provide advice and connections to ambitious individuals looking to take action on their dreams. The survey indicates that key career milestones often occur in a person's 20s and 30s, coinciding with the successful Opportunity Hub events targeted at this age group. With 40% of Brits feeling more ambitious than ever, the findings highlight the role that improved connectivity plays in unlocking opportunity.
