There are four main trends occurring in the world today:
1. Baby boomers are maturing: For 18 years straight (between 1946 – 1964) 50,000 babies were born each day worldwide. Every day now, 50,000 baby boomers are turning 50 and are growing increasingly concerned about their financial security and health. Being the largest consumer group in the world today, baby boomers are driving a worldwide trend towards natural healing.
2. A shift in mind-set from prescribed medicines to natural approaches towards good health: Over 75% of deaths are related to stroke, heart disease or cancer and 50% of these are linked to poor diet. Obesity is a global epidemic and research has proven that 70% of people want to lose at least 5kgs/10lbs. 600 million people globally are medically obese – that’s double what it was 20 years ago. For the first time in history, it’s possible we will outlive our children.
No wonder the wellness industry is a $200BN+ industry and predicted to increase to $1TN by 2010! In its short 20 year history the Wellness industry is already generating annual sales worth half of the entire automobile industry – that’s a 500% growth! Not bad for an industry in its infancy!
3. The desire to work from home: The way we earn a living these days has changed and large corporate organizations are increasingly turning to downsizing as a means to decrease expenditure.
We rely more on computers than people and the wonder of technology allows many people to work from the comfort of their own home – wherever in the world that may happen to be.
The price of petrol, lack of time, lack of money, safety fears, poor quality of life and the fact that 80% of people employed in full-time work hate their jobs are just some of the reasons why people are looking to work from home.
Home-based business in the US employing over 50% of the workforce and this is set to explode as people realize that working from home is the key to financial freedom that working in JOB for SOMEONE ELSE does not offer.
4. E-commerce (internet marketing): People and businesses continue to seek better ways of conducting business and transacting on the internet and the internet allows individuals/small business owners to have the same store front as any of the biggest Fortune 500 companies. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that e-commerce is predicted to impact the economy even greater than the industrial revolution.
If these amazing statistics don’t inspire you to pursue an opportunity in the wellness & e-commerce industry, then please check your pulse!
In the 20th Century our lives were revolutionized by the Personal Computer (PC) and the transport industry (automobile and aeroplane).
A similar revolution is now happening with the wellness industry in the 21st century. Breakthroughs in biology and chemistry mean that one day technology may also leave its mark on one of the few remaining mysteries of human existence (age and vitality) which is so far almost untouched by its developments.
If you’re a part of the wellness industry, offering any of the varied products and services available, then you have the opportunity right now to ride the wave to financial freedom.
If you’re interested in finding out more about this fantastic industry, a MUST READ is “The Wellness Revolution’ by World Renowned Economist Paul Zane Pilzer who made his first 10M by the age of 30 when he recognized the Personal Computer revolution.
