About time we heard what the aging population can DO together
Seems like everyone's always talking about the market opportunities emerging because of America's aging population. It's about time someone stopped talking about their buying power and more about their DOING power!
I had the great fortune to give a "How Relationships Can Keep You Young" talk at the AARP conference last month. I have to tell you, I left that talk with so much hope because those folks have so much potential. They know that no magic potion, no secret drug, not even great relationships can actually make us younger. But, they're realizing what great relationships can do is put a lot of joy in their lives and enable extraordinary achievements, and both of those things are what make us feel alive at any age.
Leading the way is the CEO of AARP himself, Bill Novelli. And I think his book is one of the most important books of the year.
50+: Igniting a Revolution to Reinvent America is a powerful manifesto on the opportunity, not for marketing to the 50-plus, but for the 50-plus to make big changes if they come together in "the spirit of serving others."
If they'll do that, I guarantee the second half of their lives may be even more great and significant than the first half.
And, of course, you know me and my belief in setting 10-year goals. Well, one of my new 10-year goals is to still be going strong "in the spirit of serving others" so I can be part of Novelli's revolution to reinvent America because I'll be 50+ then, too!

Re: Gap Between Rich and Poor Widens
- It will take along time in my opinion for the gap between the rich and the poor to reduce. Big high rolling bankers keep getting bonuses whilst much of the population is struggling to keep their jobs.
Re: Gap Between Rich and Poor Widens
- THX GT Bulmer for your view.
What was on my mind are the S.S. statistics; that 95% of the population end up with only a S.S. check by the time they're/we're 65.
That's pityful in comparison to some of todays teens earning millions.
Type "teen millionaires" in a search engine.
I do believe that most of us squander 99%-99.99% of our God-given 'talents.'
God Bless all.
Re: what makes you smile ????
- it's joke, comedy and some funny things which makes me smile.
Smile is a reflection of one's personality. Smile is a positive impression. Smile helps to reduce anti-aging. It's one type of meditation. Smile reduces tension and put one in the present moment instead of thinking.

Re: How to Promote a MLM Business?
- I have to agree with several of the previous posts here. Having your own site so that you can get it ranked is a big one.
Also, as stated above, using a "passive" recruiting style works really well. Leading by example, people will naturally want to follow you over time if you prove yourself a leader.
Bottom line, if you are promoting your opportunity or products, you are losing sales. About 85% of the population hates to be sold. Promote YOU, build relationships and let the business fall in place after that.

Re: Top 9 Franchises for 2009
- GT, That seems to be the way it goes as stores get more popular. In the U.S. we have Walmart. They've been accused of selling things made in sweat shops over seas, but when times are tough it's hard not to buy from them when the alternatives are twice as high. There's probably a Walmart in every town over population of 10,000.
