Product of the product - long term

With another DTI business week ending just couple of hours ago and another starting , I was excited to work with the third person to join my sales team in mid 2004, this week. After a quick conversation on the phone, sales were made, another commission check was created and everyone was happy.

People often ask 'how much did you get paid in your first month, year' or similar, and the reality is I don't know because I'm still being paid on the work I did back then, nearly six years earlier! And I'll continue to be paid for it for two reason:

1. The team member is a true product of the product. Twice a day everyday. Being able to create another income stream via the products is just a bonus for this person. The products would be used irrespective of the distribution model.
2. This business is all about building leverage. Leverage is (according to Brad Sugars) 'doing the work once and being paid forever or at least long term' or as Buckminster-Fuller said 'ever more with ever less'. Once you've created enough leverage, income is no longer solely dependant on you're personal effort/work. You start to free up your time, instead of trading it for money in a job as most people do.

And to think, this is has all been created from products I use for my own health and training anyway!
