A New Report Reveals Some Startling Realities

My mentor and friend Virend Singh has just released a new report titled 'Retire Young, Retire Rich' (This is something Virend himself has achieved by using this business model).

To quote Virend:

"Only 1% of those in retirement generate incomes in excess of $50,000 p.a. This means that 99% survive on an income of $50,000 or less. In fact, the situation is more bleak than it appears at first glance because nearly 95% of retirees currently survive on incomes less than $26,000 p.a., and nearly 80% of them survive on $8,000 to $12,000 p.a."

He then goes on to ask: "What are you doing to ensure that you don’t end up in the 80%, or for that matter, the 95% crowd… or even the 99% crowd?"

If we are really honest with ourselves of course, most of us are not doing much at all.

Virend puts it bluntly:
"You can become a top 1% income earner - a ‘top one-percenter’. However, to become a ‘top one-percenter’, you need to think and act like a ‘top one-percenter’. Zig Ziglar once said, You can’t fly with the eagles if you scratch with the turkeys.” There is a lot of truth in that statement."

He goes on to say: " Your objective is to position yourself in such a way that you enjoy a good income, a high standard of living, and be the master of your economic destiny rather than a victim of changing economic times. In short, your objective is to become a ’top ‘one-percenter’.

Regardless of what you currently do for a living, you should be attentive of economic change and its likely impact on your financial future, and then prepare yourself accordingly. And to do
so, the key question is always:

Which businesses and industries are growing in this economy, and which ones are shrinking?

Then you need to position your economy so that it evolves congruently with the bigger economy. In this way you will be going with the tide of change instead of against it; you will be working smarter instead of harder."

Health Crisis Gives Rise To Opportunities In Intellectual Distribution

Here is an article by a US doctor which highlights the Health crisis which has given rise to wonderful opportunities in intellectual distribution.

Want Health? Leave the Country by Dr. Leslie Van Romer

The United States is the richest, most powerful nation on earth. It cultivates the best doctors, the best training, the best researchers, the best facilities, the best technology, and the most dollars.

Therefore, it is logical to think that the United States' health is ranked first, without contest, in the world. Shockingly enough, the World Health Organization ranks America's health as only 37th in the world. A pathetic 37th.

It is also logical to think that Americans, provided with such expensive and sophisticated health care, are the longest lived people on earth.

The fact is that America's longevity only ranks 26th in the world, behind such countries as France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, Malta, Israel, and our neighbor, Canada.

Do you want to live longer? You have a better chance if you leave the United States and live in some other country.

The U.S. spends billions of dollars on drugs every year. It spends 1.55 trillion dollars on health care (or, more accurately, "disease care"), which is about one-half of what the entire world spends on health care.

How is it possible that we spend one-half what the rest of the world spends on health care, yet our over all health ranks 37th in the world?

In spite of all the drugs, procedures, doctors, research, hospitals, and money spent on our health (or, more accurately, diseases), America's health and disease statistics are very sad indeed.

• Every year, four out of five Americans die of heart disease or cancer--diseases that are usually preventable, not inevitable as many of us think.
• Approximately one million Americans or fifty per cent die of heart disease alone.
• There are approximately 4,000 heart attacks every day; 50% which are fatal and 50% of the fatal attacks give no prior warning of heart problems; 50% happen to people under the age of 65.
• One out of three Americans die of cancer.
• One out of seven or eight American women dies of breast cancer, skyrocketing from one out of twenty in 1970. Are we winning the war on cancer? I don't think so. Just look at the facts. It's scary.
• At least 200,000 Americans die of diabetes or related conditions.
• Close to 25 % of all Americans have high blood pressure.
• Anywhere from 61% to 85%, depending upon which source is quoted, of all Americans are overweight.
• 26% to 30% of all Americans are obese (30 pounds or more overweight) which is said to decrease life expectancy by 7 years. Even if you are overweight by 10 to 29 pounds, your life could be decreased by at least 3 years.
• 25% to 30% of our children are overweight, and many of them are obese, and that figures climbs every year. I have read that if a child is 30 pounds overweight by the time he reaches 20 years old, his life expectancy decreases by 20 years!
• At least 280,000 deaths every year are attributed to too much weight.
  

Yes, in spite of the U.S.'s wealth, it does not have the most important wealth of all--the wealth of health.

What are we doing wrong?

And a better question to ask yourself is: What can you do right? Right now!

Trends that are driving people to Intellectual Distribution

Futurist Craig Rispin quotes some interesting facts and figures in a recent article on future economic trends. For instance, Craig predicts:

"Public-sector activities will balloon, making productivity gains essential. The unprecedented aging of populations across the developed world will call for new levels of efficiency and creativity from the public sector. Without clear productivity gains, the pension and health care burden will drive taxes to stifling proportions."

Craig goes on to say that "The consumer landscape will change and expand significantly. Almost a billion new consumers will enter the global marketplace in the next decade as economic growth in emerging markets pushes them beyond the threshold level of $5,000 in annual household income—a point when people generally begin to spend on discretionary goods. From now to 2015, the consumer's spending power in emerging economies will increase from $4 trillion to more than $9 trillion—nearly the current spending power of Western Europe."

The big change of course is the way technology is impacting on the lives of people and their social and spending patterns. He says " We are forming communities and relationships in new ways (indeed, 12 percent of US newlyweds last year met online). More than two billion people now use cell phones. We send nine trillion e-mails a year. We do a billion Google searches a day, more than half in languages other than English. For perhaps the first time in history, geography is not the primary constraint on the limits of social and economic organization."

Finally, Craig makes the statement that "New models of knowledge production, access, distribution, and ownership are emerging." One of these models he speaks about is of course, intellectual distribution.

The Power Of One-to-One Marketing

According to economist Paul Zane Pilzer, the opportunity for aunique home based business opportunity with one-to-one marketing (or intellectual distribution) is huge because there is a large gap between the number of new products being released and the knowledge people have of them.

Pilzer says:

"And because technology is advancing so rapidly and making so many new products, that gap is huge and growing larger every day—which means that the opportunity of intellectual distribution is continually increasing. I am often asked, “Doesn’t the Internet fulfill that function?”

Surprisingly, the answer is “No, not at all!” The Internet is a great place to go to get educated about products and services you already know you want to learn about—but it cannot fulfill the education function of the peddler or general store proprietor any more than the infomercials of the 80s and 90s could.

The Internet, television and magazines are all passive media. The only place where we actually learn something new, where we engage with new information to the extent that we may actually change our minds and try something new, is in a live, one-to-one conversation.

The Internet is rapidly taking over the information function of teaching people things they already know they want to learn. But the vital sales function of teaching people about things they don’t yet know about will always be an educational model that functions best person-to-person. And that is what has given rise to the vehicle of distribution known as direct selling, or one-to-one marketing.

Direct selling has grown steadily over the past 20 years, increasing more than 91 percent in just the past ten years. With over 13 million Americans and 53 million people worldwide involved, it is now a $100 billion global industry. Yet as impressive as that is, it’s not hard to see why the real growth has barely begun.

What is Intellectual Distribution?

'Intellectual Distribution' is a phrase coined by economist & author Paul Zane Pilzer to describe a distribution method that is about to become a part of life for most people on this planet.

Pilzer says:
"The fortunes to be made in the years ahead will not be predominantly in physical delivery but in education—not in physical distribution, but in intellectual distribution: educating consumers about products and services that will improve their lives, but that they either don’t yet know about or don’t yet know are now affordable."

Why is this for of distribution about to become mainstream? For a start, look at it from the manufacturers perspective. If you put your products through a traditional distribution chain, you have to engage in some form of advertising to let people know about them. This could be television advertising, magazines or even point of sale, but you must outlay millions of dollars before you get a single sale.

With intellectual distribution on the other hand, you have a dedicated group of people who spread the word. People who use the product or service and believe in it. The manufacturer does not have to spend a single dollar in marketing or advertising until the product is sold.

What about people who are engaged in intellectual distribution? They work from home, in their own time, setting their own hours, using a telephone, computer and an internet connection. No traffic jams, no long hours away from home and they are there when the kids come home from school. Certainly an attractive alternative to the traditional carreer!

The Greatest Fortunes Of The Future

I remember when a computer was something that sat in a big building owned by a bank or government office. The idea that there would be one in every home someday was simply too wild to comprehend. So was the idea that most business would one day be done on computers communicating with each other through a network.

Who would have ever imagined that the richest man in the world would be someone who started out with an idea - an idea to make computers easier to use. Who could have ever imagined that fortunes could be made by people who did not make products, or physically distribute them - but simply inform others about them?

That is the business of Intellectual Distribution.

Economist, author and trend forecaster, Paul Zane Pilzer says: "The greatest fortunes to be made in the years ahead, will not be made in what people were doing 5, 10 or 15years ago. They will be made in industries that most people today don’t even realize exist, or don’t yet think of as “industries.”'

Pilzer goes on to say:
"The fortunes to be made in the years ahead will not be predominantly in physical delivery but in education—not in physical distribution, but in intellectual distribution: educating consumers about products and services that will improve their lives, but that they either don’t yet know about or don’t yet know are now affordable.

And because technology is advancing so rapidly and making so many new products, that gap is huge and growing larger every day—which means that the opportunity of intellectual distribution is continually increasing"
