The Law of Leverage



   You can only leverage three things in business:
      Time
      Money
     Technology
   The more you leverage, the quicker you build (or lose) wealth

  Remember: Its not about MAKING the money, its about
    KEEPING it.
Recent Trends in the Economy



   Deleveraging of the financial markets
      Less money to put to work
   Baby Boomers and the declining population
      Less people to fill vital positions
   Technology as the NEW leverage
      Key to scalability and growth
Deleveraging

  Credit Crunch and declining housing market
    Less credit flowing through the economy

World Demographic Trend
Declining Demographics



  By 2050, 60% of Europes workforce will be over 60
  Many key industries to suffer: health care,
   manufacturing, energy, and the public sector. E.g.:
    Only 198,000 students to fill the retirement of 2
     million Baby Boomer engineers
    300,000 out of 1.3 million new IT jobs will go
     unfilled
  金60% of all new jobs will require skills held by on
   20% of the current workforce.
