Being an SFI affiliate can change your change for the better but it is not without challenges. First of all you can build your own online business from scratch with nothing but a computer with an internet connection and the strong desire to succeed. Becoming an SFI affiliate is 100% free to join and you are never obligation to spend a single penny. This means that ANYONE meeting the basic criteria can succeed at this. Moreover, there is tons & tons of information on how to do everything SFI.
Some of the advantages of running your own successful business are:
1. Time freedom. Nothing is more valuable than your time. You can use your time as you see fit doing what you love to do for the people you care about the most. Spend 6 hours anytime of the day growing your business and the other 18 hours of the day are yours to spend any way you choose. Got a child audition to go to - no problem! Just schedule your day around the audition.
2. Better lifestyle. Sure we all like to be able to buy what we need when we need it but just having sufficient income is awesome. Your commissions can be as big as your dreams. No caps on salary or hourly wage. Earn up to $25 to $35 per hour or $100 to $200 per hour or even $100,000 per year in 2 to 5 years with a solid business plan. Your pay is only limited by what you sell!
3. Work/Life Balance. People who have their own business create more harmony in their lives over the long term. They can be more philanthropic, adventurous, cultured, and enjoy what they like doing in life.
Of course, nothing is without challenges. Some of the challenges that come with building any successful business are:
1. Isolationism. Often time in the early phases one has to be totally engulf by building the business. There usually is not much support from family or friends either. To mitigate this problem a definite work routine should be in place so one can reduce the stress cause by this.
2. High Stress. Building a business is a major undertaking and demands time and money to reach the highest level of success. All investments come with risk of loss. Calculated risks should be weighed appropriately so as to not cause fatal levels of stress.
3. Inconsistent income. Without the proper foundation for sustainable grow, every business goes into decline. To combat this, innovations and opportunities have to be proactively sought out. There is always the challenge to do more. In early phases, every business goes through sharp cycles in cash flow. Most people would rather just have a job that they can depend on for sustenance.
Consequentially, SFI nor any other business is for everyone. Entrepreneurs have the dogmatic optimism to do what others choose not to do. One has to be willing to sacrifice a lot in order to gain everything else that you want in life. The pain of growing a business is somewhat temporary and definitely not to be compared to the immense self-fulfillment of seeing your dreams come true. I say go for it!
