In the News:
INC. magazine Nov 2010 is filled with excellent articles, especially "The Demand Economy" which states matter-of-factly, "In today's economy, the smartest entrepreneurs are satisfying needs, not wants." Guess what market is listed first for the new demand economy? Yes, the aging population. Baby Boomers. Why? That's a matter of fact, too: "By 2030, 71 million Americans will be over age 65, according to the U.S. Census."
INC. has correctly identified that "home health care, much of it for the elderly, is one of the fastest-growing segments in the country's fastest growing industry." That is why Lifelines Academy continues to add online education for people serving seniors - they are needed and fulfilling a need is where you want to be in business! |
