He stated that the Echo-Baby Boom is larger than the Baby Boom... that is an exciting thought. I always thought that as the Baby Boomers moved through to retirement, that opportunity would begin to diminish.

10.8% '81 unemployment, with underemployed to 22% in 80-81... He says projections indicate that unemployment could rise as high as 17%! That's crazy... But, I've personally looked at all of the macro trends including GDP, Unemployment, etc... and I think that there is a good case to support that assertion.

Couple that with now is the best opportunity some entrepreneur's have ever seen - high unemployment, low rates of inflation and moderate interest rates - this recession is bad, but there is great hope for soaring entrepreneurial spirit!

Thanks for sharing this video.

Yes positive thinking is one of the keys but hard work is almost i think 80% you just need to knuckle down and thrive for success.

Nice article! Put purpose, passion, prosperity and peace into your life by dedicating yourself to self-improvement and service to others. As a parent, teacher, coach, counselor or manager, use the Action Principles as a tool to start positive conversations.

Saw Dennis speak at our FPA Triangle Annual Symposium yesterday. I've heard him once before and really enjoy his discussion on Supertrends. His use of scenario planning in forecasting economic outcomes is very similar to our firm's research process. His discussion of longevity issues, specifically the potential affect no more Alzheimer's or lifespans of 125 will have on LTC insurance, is particularly intriguing.
