Patience, careful planning, sustained efforts, consistency and commitment have never been among my strong suits.
Not long ago, I always wanted fast money and instant results. In my opinion then, anything that was not spilling out cash immediately wasn't worth looking at.
My commitment to a program then was no more than a few days to weeks after which I abandoned it and searched for the next 'goldmine'.
Consequently, I was going no where in my bid to achieve true financial freedom. In hindsight, I see that then, I simply wasn't trained for it and if I had struck gold then, I'd probably have wasted it...
Joining SFI disciplined me. I discovered that this was no fly by night program offering overnight riches. I discovered that those who were truly wealthy had those very qualities lacking in me.
SFI created a longing in me. It made me crave those qualities and want to be a better, more mature adult. It made me understand that success in life only came to those who consistently worked towards it. Above all, it made me realise that I am responsible for the health of my finances and that of my family and loved ones.
The money is good, no doubt about that: but more important are the attitudes of success, of responsibility and of perseverence that have being bestowed and ingrained in me.
Thanks to SFI, I have now come to realise and appreciate that there's no bending around the principles of success.
Thanks a lot SFI President, Gery Carson, You are a true leader.
