One of Melaleuca’s axioms from the very beginning has been “building a business to last a lifetime.” Over the years, that axiom has expanded to include your children’s lifetimes and even the lifetimes of your children’s children. In essence, that is our goal: to help you build a business that will last for generations. We want you to be able to build a business that will survive into the next century and become something substantial you can pass on to your children and to their families. We want your gift to them to be a viable, vibrant business with reliable income to provide resources to them, their children, and their grandchildren. We know that a Melaleuca business, when properly operated, has the ability to far outlast those who originally built it and can be a meaningful source of income for your heirs for decades to come based on their ongoing engagement, commitment, time, and effort.
Appropriate principles and guidelines outlined in this brochure are designed to help you comply with state and federal legal requirements while also protecting the integrity of the Melaleuca business model and Compensation Plan for future participants. You can design your will in a way that will benefit all of your children, but only one of them can be responsible for managing your Melaleuca business (a business cannot have several CEOs at once). Therefore, one of the most important things you can do, beyond drafting your will, is to make sure you prepare one of your adult children to manage your business after you are gone. The child you designate will be responsible for fulfilling all the requirements of the business. The future of your business and your legacy will be in their hands. If they’re going to run the family business, it’s important that they know how to do exactly that.
