Do you want to avoid regret in your life? Have you ever wished you had bought land or a home before the value skyrocketed? Do you wish you could have been part of the technology boom of the 1990s? Are you disappointed that you didn’t come up with a great invention like Spanx or the iPhone?

These are important questions, but the most valuable one is, “Do you see yourself as the kind of person who is educated, prepared and ready to seize the next big opportunity our country has to offer?” If the answer is “Yes”, you must keep reading.

Since its inception, the United States has invented or adapted its way out of every challenge or crisis facing its citizens, and it always will. If you can grasp this concept, you will begin to see that the opportunities for wealth are in front of you at this very moment. Our country has experienced various stages of economic expansion starting with agriculture, then manufacturing, distribution and technology. Wharton graduate and world-renowned economist, Paul Zane Pilzer, believes Intellectual Distribution is the industry that will create 10 million new millionaires by 2016.

What is Intellectual Distribution and how can you become a millionaire doing it? Intellectual Distribution is you becoming a product expert and educating consumers about your product and its benefits, ideally through a company that offers leveraged or residual income. Direct Selling has become a popular way for companies to sell niche products that require explanation and consumer education. These business opportunities are most often home based, do not require a college degree and have start up costs ranging from $300-$10,000. According to Pilzer, “The direct selling industry is perfectly poised to flourish in this environment and offer unprecedented opportunity to an unprecedented number of people.” Pilzer believes this because direct selling takes advantage of every major economic trend that he predicts is occurring in our economy today. Keep in mind, Pilzer predicted the Savings and Loan Crisis as well as the Technology Boom.

Pilzer also states, “Unemployment is the first and only true sign of economic growth, and the internet is a new and emerging growth super industry that has barely gotten started.” The combination of growing unemployment and the increased use of the internet are a perfect formula for direct selling through a home based internet marketing business. An undeniable benefit is that direct selling can be done on a part time or full time basis. For many Americans working in declining industries, starting a home based business part time is a way to transition from a corporate job without as much pressure.

If you are looking to take advantage of the next economic boom, your first step is to find a product that you can use and believe in. You will then need a business plan and a budget. There are many references, websites and industry leaders you can learn from. Research diligently and Make Millions.
