Now, most of the answers already submitted focus on setting the prospects/affiliates straight, about how getting anywhere here is going to take three to five years, in general, and they're completely right about that. However, there's one key factor they're missing:

There's FUN to be had.

Tell them the focus here isn't the money--that's a marathon, not a sprint--but rather on how every day, they encourage every single member here to play games, try their hands at auctions,

You just don't.
The first thing I tell people when they join this business is not to expect to get rich fast. For start, they have to build their own team of affiliates and work with them, help them realize what SFI is all about. Doing that lasts for a couple of days! Also, encourage them to read the Launchpad lesions and tell them to talk to you, as their sponsor, if they have any questions about it.
If you want to get rich here, you have to be really persistent. Because persistence is

I tell them that SFI won't be for them then, because SFI isn't about getting rich quick, but instead it is about building a continual residual income that can help supplement current income and eventually can be a sole source of income. It takes time, energy and dedication to reach the ultimate goal, but it can be well worth it if the person understands they won't be rich tomorrow.

Hi,

trust this is a very common problem, all affiliates want to be millionaire without doing any thing and expect this platform as Alladin's Ginni, which will grant their wish within a blink of eye.

I talk/mail prospeccts and affiliates giving details of activities they need to do to achieve minimum ranking and in the meanwhile do other activities like advertisements where s/he can sell her/his stuff at a genuine price. I ask them to be persistent and not to rush as this makes

Usually, people that want to make some money very quickly in my opinion aren't realistic.
Money isn't on the road that you can in every moment pick. We need to be realistic, for everything is need time, because during that time we learn about our work, we meet out products... It is true that without work we can't make any money, and that we could right do our work we need education.

So, we need to work, read and be patience. Every day do our tasks, advertise what means work on team

The answer is very simple "HONESTY" whether one is a prospect or affiliate, let them know this is a business, and with any business, there is work, time, and dedication, don't over sale the ideal to the prospect or affiliate that they can become rich over night, just let them know upfront what it's going to takes to become successful in an online business, therefore it want sound like a scam or pyramid scheme. If you do this, then the prospect and affiliate will know this is not a get-rich-quick

I explain them that fast enrichment is not possible in this world, nothing can be obtained without some work. And this is a work like any other one, but it is one which you made by yourself for yourself, by investing by yourself and getting the profit by yourself only Getting rich fast is possible in the lottery ONLY, but ONLY if it HAPPENS to winn. Here, you can besure you will winn if you continue to work and do NOT give up a single minute.

I have not had that problem yet after 17 months in SFIMG/TC. If anyone should ask "Why aren't I rich yet?", I would tell them to go back and read the introductory lessons under the "Launch Pad" tabs. No one has ever said that you will "get rich quick".

When I had a retail business selling from our art gallery, other business owners told me not to expect a profit before three years had passed.

One thing I like about SFIMG/TC is that one can expect
