This realization brought home the fact that the most lucrative businesses are not the traditional sectors of food, clothing, housing, or transportation, but those tethered to birth, aging, illness, and death.

Therefore, although it may sound cold, facts prove that when a business involves fundamental human survival needs—especially health and life—the potential for profit is staggering.
