  The Demographic Cliff - How to...

  Jr. Harry S. Dent

  Bestselling author and financial guru Harry Dent shows why we're facing a "great deflation" after five years of desperate stimulus-and what to do about it now 
  Throughout his long career as an economic forecaster, Harry Dent has relied on a not-so-secret weapon: demographics. Studying the predictable things people do as they age is the ultimate tool for understanding trends. For instance, Dent can tell a client exactly when people will spend the most on potato chips. And he can explain why our economy has risen and fallen with the peak spending of generations, and why we now face a growing demographic cliff with the accelerating retirement of the Baby Boomers around the world. 
  Dent predicted the impact of the Boomers hitting their highest growth in spending in the 1990s, when most economists saw the United States declining. And he anticipated the decline of Japan in the 1990s, when economists were proclaiming it would overtake the U.S. economy. 
  But now, Dent argues, the fundamental demographics have turned against the United States and will hit more countries ahead. Inflation rises when a larger than usual block of younger people enter the workforce, and it wanes when large numbers of older people retire, downsize their homes, and cut their spending. The mass retirement of the Boomers won't just hold back inflation; it and massive debt deleveraging will actually cause deflation-weakening the economy the most from 2014 into 2019. 
  Dent explores the implications of his controversial predictions. He offers advice on retirement planning, health care, real estate, education, investing, and business strategies. For instance... 
  • Businesses should get lean and mean now. Identify segments that you can clearly dominate and sell off or shut down others. If you don't, the economy will do it for you, more painfully and less profitably. 
  • Investors should sell stocks by mid-January 2014 and look to buy them back in 2015 or later at a Dow as low as 5,800. 
  • Families should wait to buy real estate in areas where home prices have gone back to where the bubble started in early 2000. 
  • Governments need to stop the endless stimulus that creates more bubbles and kills the middle class, and should assist in restructuring the unprecedented debt bubble of 1983-2008. 
  Dent shows that if you take the time to understand demographic data, using it to your advantage isn't all that difficult. By following his suggestions, listeners will be able to find the upside to the downturn and learn how to survive and prosper during the most challenging years ahead.

  A leader's role is to move others. To engage them and to inspire  them to action. Effective leaders use every speaking opportunity to  influence and inspire-in their phone calls, in meetings, in  elevator conversations, in presentations, and in their formal  speeches. They realize that the true task of leaders is to create  believers.            Many leaders take time to craft  effective formal speeches and presentations, but fall down on the  day-to-day communication. For too many leaders, "informal" is  synonymous with "unprepared" when it comes to informal speaking  situations. When people fail to communicate, they fail to lead.       Speaking As a Leader puts  communications squarely at the centre of leadership and shows how  to lead every time you speak-from the biggest stage to the most  informal hallway conversation or phone call. It helps readers to  meet the enormous challenge of engaging, energizing, and motivating  others day in and day out.       In today's flattened organizations,  leadership opportunities are plentiful and exist in every  interaction and for individuals at every level. Speaking As a  Leader reveals the leadership moments that exist in even the  most informal settings and shows how to:    Inspire and influence others, every time you speak  Listen effectively, in three dimensions  Move from Information to Inspiration  Take the "numb" out of numbers  See why you are the best visual and how to avoid "Death by  PowerPoint"  Move from Subject to Message  Structure your thoughts and message in any situation, using a  four-step model  Create a leader's presence and show your passion  Become a constant leader.       Speaking As a Leader offers a four-step model to unlock your  leadership potential every time you communicate and help you turn  your listeners into followers and believers. You will learn how to  mobilize others through the power of your ideas, whether in a  formal speech, a presentation to your colleagues, a phone call or a  brief conversation. You will learn how to lead every time you  speak.
