The number of successful leaders is growing every day. Are you one of those people? In 1991, there were 3.6 million U.S. millionaires. In 2001, the number doubled. If you were not part of that statistic, listen to the good news. Between 2006 to 2016 it is estimated that the U.S. economy will create 10 million new millionaires (P.Z. Pilzer). Your time is at hand.

You may be questioning this amazing information when only 4% of the American population makes more than $100,000 per year. Each day, 3,100 jobs are lost and 33% of the American work force has a second job.

Where are all these millionaires coming from? As a leader and a person of vision you have that answer: entrepreneurship.

Most people rely on three factors for economic security: a private pension, Social Security and savings as their safe guard for financial insurance. This is not a sound picture. Even if the pension plan works, it hardly offers a life of security, much less financial freedom. The median private pension for married men is $8,400 a year, or less than $162 a week. The situation for women is worse. A woman relying on her pension must make ends meet with $4,365 a year; that equates to $84 a week. Who can live on that amount of money? If you don’t drive a car, eat or pay utilities, and you own your own home, maybe it could work. That leaves everyone I know out of the picture.

People who want a different scenario choose to take control; they are dreamers, visionaries, people who see opportunities that are ready for the taking. They have tuned out the advice of others who tell them to be practical, work 40 hours, or more, per week, 50 weeks a year for 40 years and hope for the best. I certainly am not criticizing people who work these jobs. My dad worked like this for the railroad. My mom worked in a factory.

Making a living is a quagmire for many Americans. The answer to getting out of this situation is something you may already know, become an entrepreneur.

This option is the American Dream in action; it always has been. What else are the American people and America itself if not a vision of a better life? American history is based on people who had the temerity to dream big dreams and make them a reality. Not only have our forefathers lived this dream, bold people of our own time have faced the challenge and made it work. Apple Computer, Domino’s Pizza, Nike and Walt Disney Productions all started as a home-based business. Each of these multi-million dollar companies started as a person’s dream.

Until recently, the world of the network marketer revolved around a system that has served people well for many years. . That system, however, is no longer viable.

Today’s leaders must be ready to dream in techno-color: technology in the brightest hues possible. The Internet has taken the world by storm, and a new wave of entrepreneurship is being developed at this very moment. The melding of network marketing and Internet marketing is the wave of the future. We have a new paradigm of how to do business: NetWeb 2.0.

Paul Zane Pilzer, a leading economist, notes that wealth is a combination of resources and the amount and effectiveness of the technology available to find, extract and effectively use these resources. NetWeb 2.0 is the vehicle to make this happen.

What an exciting time for entrepreneurs who see the vision, who are willing to be part of something that will shape the world, who are ready to live a life that others only dream about. These are the leaders of tomorrow, the people who will be able to say, "I’m one of the 10 million new millionaires."
