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.

Healthy Family, Healthy Economy, Healthy Society
     The change in technology is one reason we are experiencing such a boom in home-based businesses. Another reason is that working from home is a more personally satisfying way to live. In the new economy, the sheer quantity of compensation is no longer enough.
     More and more, we have come to realize we also want a certain quality of compensation, too. We don’t simply want money; we want lifestyle. It doesn’t matter how much money you earn if you never get to see your family. It doesn’t matter how many possessions you have if you never get to use or play with them. And it doesn’t matter how great of a personal economy you create if you don’t have the health to enjoy it.
     Te concept of “quality of life,” which we take for granted today, is actually a fairly recent invention. Our economy and living standards have grown to the point where we not only expect to make a living, but we also expect to have the best possible experience doing it.
     Twenty percent of the average corporate workday is spent just commuting to and from work—and up to 50 percent of the time spent actually inside the workplace is wasted around the water cooler, gossiping and talking to other people.
     Today, more and more people don’t want to spend their time chatting with other workers in the office—they’d rather spend that time with their spouse or their children. They’d rather get their work done in a few hours, and then get back to the business of being with their families. For these people, a home-based business today

is both a more efficient way to work and a lifestyle choice.
     We often talk about the challenge of keeping a balance between our work and our families. Picture it like a seesaw, with work on one end and family on the other. When you’re constantly playing these priorities against each other, your life swings and swings, until eventually the whole thing breaks, whether that means losing your job, your family or your health.
    
     But if we are fortunate enough to find a way to integrate work into your home, then we don’t have to think about balance between work and family so much as how we can weave the two together. There is actually something ironic about this. The United States started out as an agrarian society of entrepreneurs, where everyone was a small-business person.
     The rise of the giant corporations, which my generation took for granted as the “normal” employment path, is really a historical anomaly. And it’s rapidly slipping into the history books as we return to our entrepreneurial roots.

A “Perfect Storm”
     In many ways, wellness and network marketing are natural sister industries. For one thing, wellness is rich in the kinds of new technologies that are best learned person-to-person. And for another, it is often the same quest for a better quality of life that finds expression both in exploring wellness and in pursuing an entrepreneurial, home-based business.
     Wellness and network marketing also both represent enormous financial opportunities; either opportunity alone has tremendous potential to create new wealth. Some companies have combined the best of both worlds, creating a “perfect storm” of unprecedented economic opportunity: A convergence of forces enabling entrepreneurs to create a satisfying lifestyle, and—at the same time—tremendous new wealth.
     Over the next 10 years, the U.S. economy will create 10 million new millionaires. You have the opportunity to start now and become one of them. You should do so not only for the benefits in health and happiness to yourself and your family, but also because you will be adding to our economy while you also add to the wellness and personal fulfillment of many others. In so doing, you will be contributing immeasurably to your community, your nation and the world.
