Sometimes what it takes to get through to inactive or occasionally active affiliates is just leveling with them about where people come into this business at, and telling them what the common perspectives are. Then simply ask them where they are at with regards to the business. Here is an example it might be done.
Some people come into this business expecting a paycheck at the end of the month. They are used to equating their time with so many dollars per hour working for someone else. Now they are working for themselves, but the concept of self-employment often doesn't quite sink in. At the end of the month they are disgusted with their meager return, and often as not, quit. They may not resign from the business, but they are there in name only.
Some people come into this business as a student, and study the business inside out. They try to understand every aspect. They realize that they have never been taught how to be financially free no matter how much certified education they have under their belt. No matter where they are or how much they have accomplished in life up to this point, they realize that what they are doing isn't taking them where they want to go, and they see the possibility that this business can take them there. Before long they realize they will always be students of the business, for it's truly dynamic.
There are some who have never before developed the protracted self discipline that would have them stick with anything long term. They may start with a bang, but fall short in the follow through. They just can't make themselves do what it takes day in and day out to build this business. They easily get diverted to something else, and flounder at that just as they did at this.
There are those who are cynical by nature, who mistrust everyone and everything about the business. They lack confidence in themselves enough to trust their instincts, and always are afraid of being taken for a fool. They have a really hard time with this business, just trusting that anything could be this good without some kind of catch. It's their orientation in life, for to them, everything in life is trying to play them for a fool. If you can get through their cynicism, you will probably have a really good affiliate on your hands.
Their are those who simply see the opportunity, and recognize the possibility right away. They make up their mind from the very start to do this thing no matter what else happens in their life. They make a qualitative decision recognizing that if someone else can do this business, they can too. They put their nose to the grindstone, so to speak, and don't look up until it is done, however long it takes.
Then there are those who never got much of a chance in life. They are chronically unemployed or underemployed, looking for a life raft to cling to. They may jump on board this business hoping this will get them out of their current situation, but until they see within themselves the possibility of being more than they have ever been before, it's doubtful this business will make a difference. This business is not a life raft. It's an opportunity for someone to take control of their life financially.
There are those who are desperate for any possibility to take command of their life. They may be a single mother trying to raise a family against all odds. They may be a factory worker who hates his or her job. They may be someone who is forced to work far from home just to provide for his or her family. They may be someone trying to survive on a very limited income. What is important is that they take ownership for where they end up in life. They are willing to do whatever it takes to get where they want to go.
There are others who don't grasp what this business is about initially, or flounder in confusion at the mass of information to absorb. They just don't get it. They may need what this business provides just as much as the next person, but they don't understand how this business can provide that. If they stick around long enough, and keep exploring this business, they will discover that this business is more than they ever imagined, and that it all makes dollars and sense.
