A vast amount of wealth is being created over the next ten years. Here's why--and how you can be a part of it.

     The typical network marketer’s benefit statement—“You work when you want, how you want, and with whom you want”—combined with the
very real value of a business based on helping others succeed, creates a uniquely attractive package to the 21st century businessperson. And I see a more seamless weaving together of work and family in network marketing than in any other sector
of the economy.
     It’s no wonder that network marketing has grown steadily over the last 20 years, increasing more than 91 percent in just the last ten. With more than 13 million Americans and 53 million people worldwide involved, it is today a $100 billion global industry.
     Yet as impressive as this is, it’s not hard to see that the real growth has barely begun.
     Today less than 1 percent of the population is involved in network marketing, yet 175,000 new people are pouring into the profession each week in the United States alone. According to Neil Offen, president of the Direct Selling Association, at the current rate
of increase, some 200 million people will enter this industry over the next ten years, effectively quadrupling its current population.

In other words, network marketing is already a force to be reckoned with—but there is an even bigger explosion ahead.

The Big Picture
     Let’s put these two trends, wellness and network marketing, into perspective in the context of the overall economy.
     In 1989, at the beginning of the worst period of economic decline since the Great Depression of the 1930s, most experts were predicting decades
of economic gloom. The most popular book in the United States was titled The Great Depression of 1990.
     That year, at the lowest point of the recession, I wrote a book titled Unlimited Wealth that predicted exactly the opposite: that we were

headed into an era of unprecedented
growth and opportunity, with seemingly impossibly low interest rates and low inflation, and that those who embraced this stood to profit enormously.
     Many in the financial and business community gave the book little credence—that is, until the years ticked by and the forecasts began proving accurate. But there were those who were quick to grasp its significance, including the late Sam Walton and, interestingly, members of the network marketing community, who got the message loud and clear
and responded immediately.
     From 1991 to 2001, the world economy doubled in size, enjoying the highest growth rates ever recorded with the lowest interest rates and
low inflation.
     In the United States, household wealth tripled, growing from $13 trillion in 1991 to more than $40 trillion in 2001. Over the same 10 years, the
number of U.S. millionaires doubled, jumping from 3.6 million in 1991 to 7.2 million in 2001.
     After the economic crash of 2001, many people felt they missed their chance to be part of the boom of the 90s. Yet in the few short years since
the catastrophic events of 9/11, U.S. household wealth has increased $8 trillion to $48 trillion—an additional 20 percent!
     Today, the U.S. and the world economy look almost identical to how they looked in 1991, except that there are more opportunities for
entrepreneurs due to recent changes in taxation and technology. Based on this history and on current conditions, I project that household wealth will roughly double again in the next 10 years, reaching the $100 trillion mark by 2016.
     This is actually a fairly conservative projection; after all, this is only a doubling of the U.S. household wealth over the next decade, a figure which more than tripled during the 1990s. What is more startling than that sheer growth is the
nature of that growth—because in the course of adding another $52 trillion in household wealth we will also see the creation of more than ten million new millionaires!
