page 1 of 6 As we enter the second half of this decade, we are seeing a convergence of economic forces leading to an enormous opportunity for those engaged in home-based business. Moreover, this opportunity exists not only for mere thousands but for literally millions of individual entrepreneurs. This economic opportunity is represented by two emerging industries: wellness and network marketing. The wellness industry, which only 15 years ago barely even existed, is on track to become a trillion-dollar industry just five years from now. Network marketing, which is a prime beneficiary of the robust home-based business boom, will be a major contributing force in the creation of 10 million new millionaires over the next 10 years. Either one of these two emerging industries on its own represents an extraordinary opportunity for entrepreneurs to create new wealth in the years ahead. Taken together, these two major forces have converged to create one of the greatest entrepreneurial opportunities in the history of our nation. The early pioneers of both wellness and network marketing were motivated by the sense that it was possible to create a better life than the conventional routes offered—better personal health and better economic health, respectively. Now the “alternatives” of yesterday have become the economic powerhouses of today and tomorrow. Let’s explore how this happened, and what it means for your economic future, first by taking a look at the genesis of the wellness industry. The Overweight Epidemic In the past, we have always associated poverty with being terribly thin, mostly due to starvation. When I was young I wanted to grow up to be a “rich fat man.” Today, the tables have turned; “poor” and “fat” have become synonymous, and “rich fat man” has become an oxymoron! Centuries ago, |
the only corpulent people were royalty and
wealthy landowners. Today, the lower the income, the more we see obesity, and the higher the income, the more we see men and women who are fit and trim, defying their age. Since 1980, we have more than doubled the percentage of overweight and obese people in the United States. In 1980, 15 percent of the population was obese; by the year 2000, that number had jumped to 27 percent—that’s 77 million clinically obese people! Today, 61 percent of the U.S. population is overweight and headed towards obesity—which has increased 10 percent to almost 30 percent of the U.S. population. As a result, 18 million Americans have diabetes and another 41 million over age 40 have prediabetes. Most people with prediabetes develop type 2 diabetes in 10 years. Sixty-five percent of people with diabetes die from heart disease or stroke, and the medical costs alone to treat diabetes now exceeds $100 billion a year. Moreover, overweight and obesity are also symptoms of poor nutrition. Typically someone who is obese is also vitamin-deficient and suffers from fatigue and arthritis or other ailments that all stem from poor nutrition. Our food industry, which represents about one trillion dollars annually, exacerbates the problem by catering to the “lowest common denominator” of poor nutrition. What about our health care? The truth is, what we call “health care” is not really the health business but the sickness business. Our medical industry today has very little to do with health. The $2 trillion we spend on medical care, which represents one-sixth of the U.S. economy, is concerned almost exclusively with treating the symptoms of illness. It has very little to do with preventing illnesses or with making people feel stronger or healthier. These two trillion-dollar industries—food and “health care”—feed one another in a fairly insidious way, working together to support that horrifying 61 percent overweight number. next |
