THE EMERGING INDUSTRY OF WELLNESS AND NETWORK MARKETING

The Next Trillion
by Paul Zane Pilzer
The Wellness Revolution designed to help introduce business opportunities in the next trillion dollar industry—Wellness!


In The Next Trillion, Pilzer exposes the truth about why half the U.S. population is unhealthy and overweight: Americans have become caught between the economic interests of the trillion-dollar food industry and the trillion-dollar healthcare or “sickness” industry.
In analyzing these two gigantic industrial complexes, Pilzer focuses on an emerging “wellness” industry that will soon occupy an additional one-seventh, or “next trillion,” of the economy—an industry ripe with entrepreneurial opportunities that will eclipse those of today’s Internet-based companies.
In The Next Trillion, Pilzer explains why consumers will turn away from consuming more material goods and instead seek to achieve internal self-improvement—healthier foods, vitamins, nutritional supplements and fitness programs—and why consumers will create a virtually limitless and sustained demand for wellness-based products.
Many of the products that will take this new industry from a few billion dollars to a few trillion are still in the laboratory. Yet, as Pilzer explains, the greatest entrepreneurial opportunities will be in distributing rather than in manufacturing wellness products and services.
The Next Trillion is for business people and consumers wanting to control where one-seventh of their earnings go every year. It is important for anyone who’s ever tried to control their weight or maximize their health, or for anyone working in today’s healthcare industry. And it is a critical must-read for entrepreneurs who want to know where the greatest opportunities lie ahead in the next two decades.
Above all, The Next Trillion offers an exhilarating vision of health and fitness—true wellness that is far more than skin deep.

New direct selling guidelines to spur industry growth





According to an Amway study, a majority of Indians can imagine themselves starting a business. "A growing direct selling industry can create self-employment. Amway India provides income generating opportunities to more than 550,000 active distributors and more than 60% of those are women. The direct selling industry also contributes to skill development. For instance, Amway India conducts more than 18,000 sessions during an average 12-month period to equip our distributors with relevant skills," said Budhraja.

Globally, the direct selling industry has grown by more than 20% in the last 4 years and today is a more than $182.8 billion industry. A recent report by FICCI KPMG showcased the potential for direct selling in India, projecting potential growth of more than 800% for the industry - reaching a volume of Rs 64,500 crore by 2025, up from the current Rs 8,000 crore.

Unemployment India’s biggest concern, direct selling at rescue

Unemployment India’s biggest concern, direct selling at rescue

At a time when businesses are not expanding as a fast pace, the employment generation in the country has also taken a hit.

By: ANI | New Delhi | Published:June 23, 2016 5:07 pm
The roar made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the country’s poor employment conditions created a ripple across the nation. Keeping in mind the current scenario of Indian economy and the state of employment across the country, ‘Skill India’ campaign of Prime Minister has hit the right strings.
The Industries too have realized the importance of having skilled workforce and hence there have been conscious efforts on their part to value add to the skills of their resources.
‘Make in India’ is another initiative which has given impetus to all Indian origin manufacturers to invest more across various domains and has generated many employment opportunities for the people.
“Unemployment still remains one of the biggest concerns for the Government, which under the leadership of PM Modi is striving hard to generate more employment. It is not an issue that can be tackled in a jiffy. Rather, it will need a combined effort of government and industries to improve the unemployment ratio, that too over a period of time,” believes Secretary General, Indian Direct Selling Association, Amit Chadha.
Talking about Direct Selling, he adds “Direct Selling is one industry that has been generating self-employment opportunities for about 20 years in the country. As there is no such restrictions and criteria to become a Direct Sellers, people from all walks of the society join Direct Selling, irrespective of gender, skill-set and age. A person aged 60 is as welcomed in Direct Selling as an 18 year old. Direct Selling embraces everyone with open arms.”
“Over the last two decades, this industry has made it way to every corner and strata of the country and it is getting popular with every passing day. In 2014-15, the Industry generated close to 40 lakh self-employment opportunities in the country and we expect the number to grow in the coming days” he further stated.”
At a time when businesses are not expanding as a fast pace, the employment generation in the country has also taken a hit.
In such a scenario direct selling has been one of the few industries, that has continued to make steady progress and pushing boundaries towards overall growth.
Chadha is of the view that the Direct Selling Industry has been instrumental in shaping up careers of millions of Indians, especially the unskilled ones, who could not find a place in the mainstream. This industry transforms a common man into a leader, who later on mentors thousands of people like him, helping them to be a part of the mainstream.
“What is significant is the fact that many of the successful Direct Sellers are now helping other people to set up their businesses. Clearly, it is a people’s business, where one helps the other; resulting in building the nation,” Chadha further added.
The main attraction of working in this industry is the option of flexible hours people work at their own leisure and time, without being bound to strict timelines. Many working people join Direct Selling as a supplementary earning opportunity.
Direct Selling is a booming industry, a boon for an economy and employment generation towards better future. It boosts confidence of individuals and therefore leading the industry as well as the workforce involved, to a higher growth trajectory. It is an attractive option, allowing people to manage their own business with minimal outlay as well as generate an income.
“The need of the hour is to give boost to an Industry like Direct Selling that has a socio-economic impact to the lives of many. Not only it generates employment, as a result, the Industry also empowers its workforce with skill, knowledge, power to express, improving interpersonal skills and above all, lead a life of a ‘leader, inspiring other to replicate their success,’ Chadha further asserted.http://indianexpress.com/article/business/business-others/unemployment-indias-biggest-concern-direct-selling-at-rescue-2871547/

Heart Disease in India is a Growing Concern

To raise awareness for World Heart Day, Vice President Hamid Ansari strongly favoured the need to develop a comprehensive approach to combat heart disease in India which is on its way to becoming an epidemic in the country. Latest statistics suggest that in India, there are roughly 30 million heart patients and two lakh surgeries are being performed every year.


World Heart Day is celebrated every year on 29th September with the intent of raising awareness about cardiovascular disease. Every year has a different theme which tackles different aspects of heart disease. This year, the theme on World Heart Day is creating heart-healthy environments.While inaugurating this year's World Heart Day event, Mr. Ansari said, "We would need a comprehensive approach to combat heart disease, with a focus on education and access to proper health facilities. For this, both the public and the private sectors have to work together."
Currently, the key challenges that face cardiac care in India are inadequate facilities, accessibility, the price tag attached to efficient and effective treatment, lack of awareness of non-communicable diseases, he said. Apparently, demographic projections suggest a major increase in cardiovascular disease mortality as life expectancy increases and the age structure of the growing population changes.
Of the 30 million heart patients in India, 14 million reside in urban areas and 16 million in rural areas. He said, "If the current trend continues, by the year 2020, the burden of atherothrombotic cardiovascular diseases in India will surpass that of any other country in the world."
The growth of heart diseases is dependent on a number of interlinked factors such as ageing, changing lifestyles,  bad eating habits and rapidly evolving socio-economic determinants like access to healthcare. growth of heart diseases affects not just the urban and economically well-off but also the under-privileged.
The Indian rural population and urban poor especially are facing a "double burden" - with incidences of acute diseases continuing, while there is a rapid growth in incidences of chronic diseases, "Today, cardiac hospitals in India perform over 2,00,000 open heart surgeries per year, one of the highest, worldwide. There has been a steady annual rise to the tune of 25-30 per cent per year in the number of coronary interventions over the past several years" he added.
Heart disease is now the world's leading causes of death, claiming 17.3 million lives each year, he said, adding, India has seen a rapid transition in its heart disease burden over the past couple of decades.

Every year, 40,000 diabetics in India lose their limbs.

The survival rate of patients with diabetic foot was less than that of breast cancer, prostate cancer or lymphoma patients.
By: Express News Service | Chandigarh | Published:November 19, 2015 5:19 am

The Department of Endocrinology, PGI, will organise the 13th Annual National Diabetic Foot Congress from November 20 – 22. According to PGI doctors, around 40,000 diabetic patients lose their limbs in India every year.
A PGI statement issued here read, “The prevalence of diabetic foot in India varies from 10-15 per cent.”
PGI doctors also said that the survival rate of patients with diabetic foot was less than that of breast cancer, prostate cancer or lymphoma patients.
The organisers say that the conference is an attempt to spread awareness about the disease. “Diabetologists, endocrinologists, vascular surgeons, orthopedicians and plastic surgeons from both India and abroad will attend the conference,” added the
statement.
In a study conducted by PGI in 2009, the prevalence of diabetic foot disease in a group of 1,044 patients was found to be 8 per cent.




The diabetes epidemic in India

Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness and kidney failure among adults. It causes mild to severe nerve damage that, coupled with diabetes-related circulation problems, often leads to the loss of a leg or foot. 

Diabetes significantly increases the risk of heart disease. And it’s the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S., directly causing almost 70,000 deaths each year and contributing to thousands more. The problems behind the numbers are even more alarming.
The diabetes epidemic in India that killed 10 lac people in 2011, has also thrown some startling facts:
  • Contrary to popular belief, diabetes affects more people in rural India (34 million) than affluent urban Indians (28 million)
  • The gap between the number of diabetic men and women in India is also diminishing. While 33 million men are diabetic, 29 million women are affected by high blood sugar
  • According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF), has raised a serious alarm for India by saying that nearly 52% of Indians aren’t aware that they are suffering from high blood sugar. India is presently home to 62 million diabetics — an increase of nearly 2 million in just one year, as of 2015
  • India is second only to China which is home to 92.3 million diabetics. By 2030, India’s diabetes numbers are expected to cross the 100 million mark.
  • WHO projects that diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death in 2030.

The prevalence of diabetes has been steadily increasing in the past few decades, in particular in low- and middle-income countries. Knowledge exists to reverse this trend through targeted prevention and appropriate care. The good news is that type 2 diabetes is largely preventable. About 9 cases in 10 could be avoided by taking several simple steps: keeping weight under control, exercising more, eating a healthy diet, and not smoking.

20 Reasons Why Network Marketing Is The Business of the 21st Century


Below are the top 20 reasons why starting a network marketing business right now is one of the smartest things you can do, but first we must understand that we are now living in a new age. “The Information Age”.

Living in the Information Age

For the last 2000 years of human history, we lived in the “Agrarian Age”. This was a time when it was all about farming. Whoever owned the farms and the land, controlled the wealth.
In the 20th Century, we moved in to a new age called the “Industrial Age”. The first big corporate giants including Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford, with their huge steel and car companies dominated the business world. It was whoever owned the factories that controlled the wealth.
From the year 2000 onwards, with the rise of the Internet, we moved in to a new age. “The Information Age”. Today, companies like Twitter and Facebook are changing the business world. Today, it is about building and owning networks. This has levelled the playing field. There has never been a better time in history to build and own your own business. Are you set to take advantage?

1. Build Your Fortune, Not Someone Else’s

Here is the big question: At your current place of work, who is making a living and who is getting rich? It is whoever owns the asset. The asset is the business. This is where the control and wealth is. By working as an “Employee,” you are spending your 8 hour day building someone else’s asset. You are earning a living, and the owner is building a fortune. You are not only making 10x less money, but also paying twice as much in tax.

2. Want To Double Your Income Each Year?

It is very difficult to be able to double your income with a job. In fact, the average pay rise is currently around 2%. This is crazy, especially since inflation is closer to 10%. However, with a business, it is a lot easier to get twice as many “customers” next year than the last, which in turn doubles your income. The smart people are now building their own businesses on the side.

3. True Financial Freedom

One of the top reasons for owning your own business is that it leads to financial freedom. Meaning, being able to earn lots of money without you needing to be there. The problem with a job is that you are “Selling time for money”. This means that you can never stop working because your income also stops. With a business, you have hundreds of customers that are generating the income. This means you can go on holiday for a month and be making more money when you come back than when you left.

4. Utilise the Internet…(or kick yourself)

Important Point: The Internet is changing the world as we know it, and you are living in the middle of it right now. In 50 years, you might look back and think, why didn’t I make the most out of it? There has never been a better time in history to start a business and especially one that involves connecting with people. You can now contact hundreds of people with a push of a button. The fact you are reading this right now proves it’s effectiveness. You will kick yourself if you do not take advantage of this.

5. Living A Rich and Rewarding Life

One of the biggest benefits with a network marketing business is the personal development, which many people are not even aware it exists. To become successful, you have to help other people become successful. It’s very rewarding to watch other people grow and become better people. The fact that you can make £100K per year, working only 4 hours a day, which then gives you all the time and money to enjoy life is a massive bonus.

6. Are You Taking Advantage of the Population Boom?

You may not currently be aware of this but, the human race is currently expanding exponentially. Simply do a Google image search for “world population growth“ and you will see world population is going off the chart. Now, this is going to cause a lot of problems for some businesses, but is great for people businesses like network marketing.

7. What Job Security?

For over 100 years, the reason people clung to jobs was because of security. Today, with more and more people getting made redundant in a shrinking market, job security no longer exists. People are now looking for a more secure way to earn a living. What is more secure? Having one income stream with a job or an income coming from a hundred places, which you get from having a customer base? Today, jobs are now the risky option.

8. Retire Rich or Retire Poor…your choice

The government with the pension scheme made a critical error back in the 1970’s when people could suddenly “Choose” whether they pay in to a pension or not. We now have a massive problem where there isn’t enough money to pay for everyones retirements. Add to that, the fact that the state pension is a tiny £6000 per year, there are going to be thousands of people retiring on half of minimum wage needing another income.

9. Want To Work for The Next 50 Years?

People now have a clear choice. Do they graduate from university with £50,000 of debt? They can then either get a job, earn a living and retire in 50 years on the equivalent of minimum wage, or, they can build a business and have the opportunity to retire after only 3-5 years. This is the Industrial Age moving in to the Information Age at it’s most obvious. Those who realise this, will be the ones who will benefit massively financially.

10. Want To Start Life £50K in Debt?

With university fees being tripled in the UK, the average student debt is now £50,000. The younger generation are starting life with chains around their neck. The choice the younger generation now has, is going to uni and starting life in debt or starting a business where in 3 years they could become financially independent. Where do you think people are going to be going? Are you ready to help them and benefit financially?

11. Do You Use Mass Market Chemical Products?

Did you know that 95% of the food we buy and personal care products we use from the super markets and the high street stores are not very good for you? They are mass produced and in order for them to have a long “Shelf Life” are being pumped full of preservatives and parabens. Studies are now linking these to cancer. The top network marketing companies are botanically based meaning, products that are actually good for you.

12. Would You Like An Income That Builds Itself?

When you get to a certain point in a multi level marketing business and you have your team in place, your business then begins to build itself. You cannot do this with a job. This is how you can go then away on holiday and be making more money when you come back than when you left. Thats leverage!

13. Want More Recognition and Appreciation?

How would you like to work for a company where your hard work gets regular recognition and appreciation? You can now become part of a strong community of people who all want you to succeed as it directly benefits everyone. This is very rare to find in a job.

14. The 9-5 Job Is Broken!

In a 9-5 job, there is only one winner and that is the boss. The reason you only get 2% pay rises is because it comes directly out of the bosses pocket. The more money you make, the less money he makes. In a mlm business, the more money you make, the more money your business partners make. It is a true win/win. This is not only the business modal of the future, it is the business modal of right now.

15. Surround Yourself With Like Minded, Fun, Ambitious People

Are you lucky enough to be surrounded by fun, ambitious, like minded people? Most people are not. Network marketing attracts the very best people, which is very beneficial to you because you then surround yourself in a new culture that supports you and helps you become successful. Remember this: You will earn what the 5 closest people around you earn.

16. A Shrinking Job Market

With increasing population and more traditional businesses closing down due to the Internet, there are now less jobs for people to go for. This means employers can and do take full advantage of this, asking people to work longer and longer hours for the same money. This is becoming more and more common and is making people work in a fear based environment. Do you want to continue to live like this?

17. Getting Poorer with Rising Prices? – Inflation!

So, the government statistics state that inflation is around 3%…so why then are our gas, electric and phone prices going up closer to 10%? You don’t need a degree in maths to know this doesn’t add up. The truth is that if you are not getting closer to a 10% pay rise each year, then you are actually getting poorer. Inflation is a stealth tax which the masses are not educated to realise.

18. Get Free 5* Holidays and Drive A Luxury Car

The top multi level marketing companies offer their consultants great incentives for their work. These include free luxury cars, all paid for 5* holidays to paradise islands and free weekends away. Why save up for your holidays and car when your work place will pay them all for you? Does your current employer offer you this?

19. Want The Same Tax Breaks of the Rich?

Having a part time or full time home business gives you great tax incentives that are used by the rich. All of a sudden, all your transport, rent, computer, phone, office equipment, coffee shop visits, meals out, as well as many other things all become a tax deductible expense. You too can have access to tax incentives that rich people get to use.

20. What Do Donald Trump, Richard Brandson and Robert Kiyosaki Have In Common?

I am going to finish with this. Some of the biggest business people all around the world are either involved or recommend network marketing, including Donald Trump, Richard Brandson, Robert Kiyosaki, Stephen Covey, Jim Rohn and T Harv Eker and many more. Who are you going to listen to? Need I say anymore?



China’s Tiens joins Indian e-com with goods from 119 countries -

Himani Chandna, Hindustan Times, New Delhi |  Updated: May 18, 2016 19:54 IST 

The company will bring about 3,000 products on a website named ‘Tiens Legion’ (AFP.

How Women Have a Leg Up on the Direct Selling Industry



Direct Selling may be an equal-opportunity industry, but women have taken the ball and they’re sprinting. According to the Direct Selling Association, more than 75 percent of independent distributors in the United States are female. 
While that gap has narrowed over the last five years (the DSA attributes the increase in male participation to explosion of social media, economic conditions and the growing number of direct sellers in the services and health and wellness sectors, both of which tend to attract men in higher numbers), direct selling remains a viable and attractive option for women throughout the age spectrum. Which is good news for women around the world, and good news for the world’s leading direct seller of vacation club memberships, WorldVentures.
Independent Representatives in a direct-selling business like WorldVentures can adapt to any schedule, and that’s perhaps what’s made the industry so appealing to women. Whether she’s already working full or part time in corporate America, raising children at home (or both), an empty-nester or even a college student looking for some extra money, an independent distributor sets her own hours, and her business accommodates her, not the other way around. Parties and one-on-one consultations remain the hallmark of direct selling, but personal websites, texting and Facebook business pages provide around-the-clock convenience to customers―so, in essence, the store is never really closed, giving women unparalleled flexibility to earn income.
Best of all, when she’s ready to devote more time to her independent business, her growth is solely up to her. Office politics don’t exist. She decides when she’d like to be promoted, and if she’s willing to put in the effort, she reaps the rewards, no questions asked.

Word of mouth means everything; it’s what makes or breaks a company’s sales, and women have mastered the art of this skill. The Keller Fay Group, a market research and consulting firm, has found that women engage in 10 percent more brand conversations a week than men, and women are more likely to make a purchase based on word of mouth.
Although women were “social networking” long before Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram or countless other sites were born―in fact, you just might call them the original social network―women are significantly more likely to use those sites than men. What does all of this mean? A woman with a direct-selling business likely has within her reach a large audience of potential customers who, in turn, will gladly share their experiences with other women, whether online or in person.
