The Wellness Industry & Mannatech ~ The Perfect Chemistry for Success
This is an exciting time to get involved with wellness. The industry is exploding with opportunity. Doctors, industry experts and the general public have shifted their views from treatment to prevention and proactively providing our bodies with what they need to stay healthy. Between 2002 and 2007, the wellness industry grew 150% from $200 billion to $500 billion annually.† Mannatech is leading the charge in offering a suite of natural, plant-based nutritional products to help you and your loved ones enjoy the quality of life you deserve.
Did you know that a recent article in Time magazine suggested that for the first time in the last 100 years, our children may have a lower life expectancy than we do? Obesity has surpassed smoking in it's affect on health and early death. Chronic diseases are increasingly reported as being 'lifestyle choice based'… a trend we can do something about. Something is certainly wrong with our state of health today. It’s never made more sense to become a wellness champion.

Baby Boomer Explosion
Approximately 7900 Americans turn 60 each day. That's more than 2 Million per year, and 40% of them only have $10,000 in retirement funds. Four out of five boomers plan to keep working in retirement. We've even heard some declare that 'death' is their exit plan 
. Kind of funny and then again not funny at all…
FACT: Half of all baby boomers plan to start a new career in retirement!

The Next Millionaires
Paul Zane Pilzer explains in detail why the 21st century will be known as the age of the entrepreneur, and how you can stake your claim to being one of these next 10 million millionaires–especially if you are in direct selling, technology, home-based business, product distribution, or an emerging trillion-dollar industry like wellness.
In his book, The Next Millionaries, he explains how old models of opportunity in physical distribution have given way to new opportunities in intellectual distribution, defined as teaching people about products or services that they didn't even know exist. And, drawing on Pilzer's 33 years of experience as an entrepreneur and employer, it explains how to use your past to find your place in the new economy and your ticket to becoming one of The Next Millionaires.
Are You One of the Next Millionaries?
