Today we're going to
talk about having big goals...but REALISTIC goals. SFI holds tremendous
potential for those who will apply themselves, but it's not going to happen overnight or without work. As the old
saying goes, "the only place that success comes before work is inthe dictionary."
We often hear from
affiliates asking why they're not seeing a big commission check yet. But more
times than not, the person asking hasn’t even been an affiliate for more than a
few weeks and is only really beginning to even understand how the whole SFI
system works. And frankly, even if the number was six months, it’s still much
too early to be expecting 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. See our six-step plan for reaching the top in SFI.
The fact is, anything
worthwhile takes sustained effort. If that were not true, we'd all be the
perfect weight, we'd all have perfect relationships, etc. It's the same thing
with your own business. If you're thinking money's going to start pouring into
your lap next month, you’ve set yourself up for failure.
