These words have been on my mind and in many of my conversations the past few weeks. I've had the opportunity to work with some committed business minded people in the Seattle area and am excited to help put the area on the map with Melaleuca.
After having done lots of appointments the last couple months, I'm figuring out that most of the people I meet with don't get one of the big points of this...they are not processing residual and leverage. They either don't or can't imagine how different their lives would be if they took the time in 2011 to setup a livable residual income ($60k-$100k/yr for most)...and since they don't or can't imagine, this all too often comes off as a "nice" thing.
My advice for you if you are out talking with people is to STRESS residual and leverage. Get creative....throw in an occasional awkward pause, get up and jump around...do something (whatever you feel would be appropriate but jarring enough to actually really get their attention) to cause them to sit up straight and engage with you.
If your contacts are not hearing that part loud and clear, this will just be a "nice" thing...a way to get the chemicals out of their homes...and that'll usually be about it!
Last thought. Before they can GET IT, you must get it! For anyone who goes and trades time for money every day (traditional job), think about what it would be like to have $800/mo...or $4500/mo or...____/mo coming in on autopilot. How would that change your options day to day, week to week, etc? Could you LIVE life for a change? Yeah, think about it. Worth working for maybe?
