Overnight success...NOT!
SFI holds tremendous potential for those who apply themselves. But that success won't happen overnight or without work. You should have big—but REALISTIC—goals if you want to build a solid, profitable business that lasts.
As the old saying goes:
Some affiliates ask us why they're not seeing a bigger commission check yet. More times than not, the person asking hasn’t even been an affiliate for more than a few weeks! They're only really beginning to even understand how the whole SFI system works. And frankly, even if they've been an affiliate for six months, it’s still much too early to expect a significant income stream to have developed.
We always say that if you’re not willing to give a business at least a year, don’t even bother getting involved. You must understand: It takes time to get to know all the nuances of a business. It takes time to get to know the products. It takes time to develop a game plan. It takes time to figure out what marketing activities will work best for you.
There's no such thing as "get rich quick"
If becoming rich was easy and quick, EVERYBODY would be wealthy! The fact is, anything worthwhile takes sustained effort. If that were not true, we'd all be a perfect weight, have perfect relationships, and get everything we want. It's the same thing with your own business. If you think money is going to start pouring into your lap next month, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Don't do that!
Let’s look at some real examples for perspective. We'll start with SFI's own president and founder, Gery Carson. As Gery explains:
And here are some of the actual home business superstars we've interviewed and featured on our Website in the past:
✔ ROBERT BLACKMAN now earns as much as $85,000 per month. Yet it took Robert two years to see his first four-figure check ($1,000 or more), and it took him five years to see his first five-figure check ($10,000 or more).
✔ CHARLES LESLIE’s monthly income exceeds $12,000 a month. It took Charles five months to see his first $1,000 check, and three and a half years to see his first $10,000 check.
✔ TRACY DIETERICH earns $36,000+ monthly. But it took six months to hit that first $1,000, and a year to get to $10,000.
✔ DALE CALVERT makes so much more than $100,000 a year that he won’t even divulge the amount. Yet Dale worked four months before seeing that first four-figure commission check...and two full years before hitting five figures.
✔ DR. JOE RUBINO now cruises at over $62,000 each month. But that first $1,000 check took two months, the first $10,000 check, one year.
✔ ROBERT BUTWIN drops $80,000 or more into his bank account each month. But would you believe that first $1,000 check took two years to reach, and a full FIVE years for Robert to reach the first $10,000 check? It’s true!
✔ DAVID A. NELSON clears $40,000 in a month. But reaching that first $1,000 check took 18 months. Reaching the five-figure check took two years.
✔ TONY KENT has exceeded $90,000 in monthly earnings. But exceeding $1,000 took Tony one year...and a year and a half to exceed $10,000.
Note that amounts listed reflected above declared earnings at the time their interview was published.
As you can see, even the most dynamic, highest-earning entrepreneurs took MONTHS to begin seeing an income of any real significance. And the real wealth—the $100,000+ income we all strive for—took an average of almost THREE YEARS to achieve!
Do you think ANY of these gentlemen think the rewards weren't worth the effort? Do you think for an instant that the months and years invested haven’t been rewarded a thousand times over at least? You don't even have to think about it, do you?
If we told you that after two to three years of following our system, you could be making more in a month than you now make in a year, could you handle that? This is a genuine and realistic goal.
But if you want to quit your job in six months and live off the income from SFI, well, that's just not realistic.
Can you think of any other endeavor where you could invest just five to 10 hours a week for a couple years and at the end of that time have built a full-time income? Money that keeps coming in month after month, year after year. Money that keeps coming in whether you work 10 hours a day or two. A commission check waiting for you in your mailbox when you return from yet another vacation. Money that when you’ve left this planet continues to provide for your spouse, children, or grandchildren.
Sounds extremely nice, doesn’t it? Again, you're likely not going to see this kind of income in your first year. A few real GO-GETTERS are likely to start seeing real rewards in their second year. If you're like most, however, you should set your goals with two to five years in mind. And you know what? When you get there, we guarantee you, you’ll say it was nothing!
BOTTOM LINE: We reap what we sow, but the harvest is never in the same season as the planting! Today you are planting...and will be at least for the next several months. Your harvest will come in time. Be persistent. Be patient. Work the Web using our proven SFI system. Think long term. Take action every day, (no matter how small) to build your business.
And always remember:
THE ONLY WAY TO FAIL IS TO QUIT!
