It means you should anticipate what is going to happen, prepare for it and take action immediately. For example, if your company is planning to start a new division, you could do some research on what they intend to do, what sort of personnel would be required, then learn the skills or get the qualification necessary to go up to your boss and offer your services, before the company starts advertising or anybody else start preparing for it. Proactive is the opposite of reactive (e.g. reacting to what happened).

Being proactive is rarely being on what I like to call the "Limited Option Program". I hate the limited option program.Being proactive - means " thinking before you act" so that you have options before you are in a situation.
I think that is why my life is so much more pleasant the older that I get. When I was young I would act first and then suffer the consequences, now I think first and CHOOSE the consequences!! (sometimes, my thinking is still not so good but at least I can choose differently next time because I remember how I got myself there!)

Instead of putting out the fire after it occurs, doing something ahead of time to prevent it. It's really forecasting to see what may happen in future business, so you will be prepared. Proactive VS. reactive.
