We Have What They Want! One of my favorite books is called Good to Great by Jim Collins. It’s about creating a great business, but it’s really applicable to so many areas of life. And he points out that if you want to do anything great, you’ve got to first confront the brutal facts. So, let’s look at the brutal facts that are confronting American households in today’s world.
Wages are not keeping up with inflation, so how are Americans keeping up? A lot of them are putting it on their credit card. Credit card debt in America is skyrocketing. And the cost of that is awful because interest rates—in some cases—have doubled or tripled. And that’s what the average American household is facing. Those are the brutal facts that every American household has to deal with. And that is exactly why the world needs us now more than ever. Families need supplemental income to help them because wages aren’t keeping up, and we have the answer for them. We’ve paid out $7.3 billion in commissions to date. That’s how solid our opportunity is! Hundreds of families have made over $1 million with Melaleuca. Thousands have made over a half a million dollars. Tens of thousands are now making solid, monthly income that comes back to them month after month. So, the message is that there’s tremendous opportunity here. It takes a while to build a successful Melaleuca business. It takes gumption. You’ve got to have stick-to-itiveness. Every successful Melaleuca leader has had to deal with failure over and over, but when it came at them, they took personal responsibility, and they plowed through it. Amazingly, the real magic is that 82% of our customer base have made absolutely nothing! Why would we celebrate that? Because that’s where the magic is. They didn’t join us because of the business opportunity. They joined us just because they wanted our superior products. They want to live healthier, longer, more vibrant lives—hundreds of thousands of them in North America alone. That’s why this is such a phenomenal business opportunity

One of the most serious things that’s confronting people today is inflation. Inflation is through the roof. They told us it was going to be transitory, but it wasn’t. The price of staples like bread, eggs, and milk has gone up anywhere from 50% to 200%. Now let’s look at the average house payment. Eight years ago, the average house payment in America was $1,426 a month. Today it has doubled to $2,825. In eight years, it doubled!
