A couple of years ago, as I was reading Robert Kiyosaki’sThe Business of the 21st Century, it really hit me: the jobs lost during the Great Recession aren’t coming back. As Kiyosaki says, there’s been massive downsizing, outsourcing, and jobs shipped overseas, and while some may think these opportunities are coming back, the reality is that it’s a new economic world out there. In order to prosper, we have to change our game plan. With this new economy the job prospects are pretty bleak especially for the young people just graduating, since the segment most affected are those at the entry level. My college-aged daughter brought it all home for me when I realized that with technology—the Internet, smart phones, and Skype—there truly is an opportunity for us to set up our own multinational, multi-million dollar distribution businesses. We’ve heard BK talk about the poisoning of America’s youth and how that was his inspiration for creating Verve, a healthy energy drink. As a parent, this resonated with me, because no matter how hard we tried to keep our teenagers from these unhealthy energy drinks, they were still buying and drinking them—to the tune of 262 gallons a year!1 Couple that with the myriad of multi-level marketing products out there—steak knives, biodegradable cleaning supplies, etc.—it became clear to me that there weren’t any products that the younger demographic would get excited about. Sharing a healthy energy drink with friends? That’s a no-brainer. I took my idea to my upline/friend/mentor, Royal Ambassador, Brad Alkazin. And, as crazy as it sounded back then, he took it, added his own flair and experience, and the whole Young People’s Revolution really took off. Ageless entrepreneurs The strategy we developed was simple: find an entrepreneurial-minded college student who was driven to be successful and connect him with Brad. I knew that if we found someone who could see the level of success Brad’s achieved, it would be a natural fit. After all, you’re never too young to be prosperous or healthy. I was introduced to Alex Morton by his father (my good friend) Marc. We showed Alex something he could do part time, with his friends, and we challenged Alex to believe in himself the way Brad did, discussing with Alex what he envisioned for himself in life and how he could achieve that. It became pretty clear that a lot of young people today don’t want to work for someone else, so we encouraged them to define their goals, focus on who they know, and we assured Alex and his friends that we’d help them every single step of the way. In return for a minimal investment, these young people get a potentially life changing opportunity where they can work with their friends, have access to a website and mobile app that puts them in business in over 50 countries, get support and training from men and women their own age who are already successful, and be able to go all in now. Why should they wait until college graduation to launch a business? Work hard for a few years, and by the time they graduate they’d never have to take a job just for the paycheck.* I can provide some pretty compelling motivation myself. The numbers tell the real story. Company wide, Verve sales have nearly doubled in the past year. For me, a business that was generating about $1,000 a month in sales, now brings in over $45,000 a week, or $2.3 million a year.* It’s hard to argue with that success!

Youth Joblessness: No End in Sight, Says Report An analysis by the nonprofit, nonpartisan group YoungInvincibles asks what kind of employment prospects young Americans can look forward to over the next decade. Its conclusion: Bleak. The report, “No End in Sight? The Long-Term Youth Jobs Gap and What It Means for America,” says that though the present looks bad for young job-seekers, the future could be worse. Further, it questions whether employment for the young will ever return to what it was before the recession. (The Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2010 expressed a similarly gloomy view.) Study co-author Rory O’Sullivan says that today’s unemployment numbers understate the problem. The unemployment rate for 16- to 24-year-olds now stands at 16.5 percent, more than double the rate for the population at large (8.2 percent). For Latino youth, the rate is 20.5 percent, and for African-American youth, 30.2 percent. Fewer than half of all young Americans hold any kind of job at all, says the report. These numbers, while daunting, fail to take include young people who have given up looking for work and dropped out of the labor force altogether. The report identifies what it calls a “jobs gap” of some 2.7 million, meaning that there are that many fewer jobs for youth today than would have existed without the recession. YoungInvincibles arrives at this number, O’Sullivan explains, by using Bureau of Labor Statistics projections for the youth labor force from 2008-2018. These were based on data from 2007, the last year the economy was fully healthy. A normal unemployment rate was then applied, he says, to get the number of jobs that would have existed during this period, had the economy remained healthy. That figure was then subtracted from the number of jobs that actually exist, highlighting a gap of some 2.7 million “missing” jobs. It’s a number the report calls “staggering” — “roughly the size of the entire population of Chicago.” The situation, while grim, says O’Sullivan, isn’t hopeless. If America’s leaders were aggressively to pursue youth job-creation policies, he says, for example, boosting investment in AmeriCorps from the current $1 billion a year to $6.5 billion, the gap could be closed by 2016. Some 500,000 new youth jobs a year would be created, he says, for less money than the monthly cost of maintaining troops in Afghanistan.
