We have a message for you, for your neighbor, and for the world: Remember the goals you had when you were younger. It is not too late! You can reach those goals. We have a way. If you will work, we will help you. We will do it together. We will not do it for you. You must do your part. Remember, our goal is to help you reach yours. We will help, but you must reach. We invite you to join us in our quest to help others reach their goals. We take great joy in this mission. It is what drives us forward. We have learned that in the end we all reach our goals together because we helped someone else reach theirs. This is a wonderful concept, and not only are tens of thousands of families prospering because of their involvement—it’s also a very rewarding experience for all of us! We appreciate all those who have joined us in this worthwhile endeavor. We take delight in their achievements and success as we strive to help each other.
You may be asking, “How can I help someone else reach their goals when I haven’t reached mine yet?” You still don’t get it. Put your goals aside for a moment and go help someone else reach their goals. Actually, the reward of helping someone else reach their goals can be greater than reaching your own—that is, unless you are doing it to get a “thank-you” or for them to appreciate you or be impressed by you. Those motivations are, again, your goals, not theirs. You must be able to simply take joy in someone else’s joy and feel great because of their accomplishment. At Melaleuca, because of how our business model is structured, if you help someone else reach their goals you automatically reach yours at the same time. It’s almost magic—except it’s a lot better than magic! The problem some people get into is that they try to push people to go to work. Again, that’s you trying to reach your goals. That type of activity is not only unproductive, it’s frustrating to both you and them. A big part of the key is to find people with established goals. Many people have never established goals for themselves. Although we might find that sad and frustrating, we really can’t help them reach goals they don’t have. But many people do have goals and are willing to work to achieve them. They are just looking for a way to get there—a vehicle to take them there. We have that vehicle. You have that vehicle. I’ll bet over 95% of the adult population has never had someone come up to them and say, “Tell me what your goals are—I’d like to help you reach them.” That’s because everyone is so tied up trying to reach their own goals, or they have given up and decided to be satisfied with whatever life has given them.
