All who work in the SFI and those at the top of the stage once had when they wanted to quit. This is normal. We can not force anyone to stay, but they can help you see why you should stay.
Ask them if they think they have done this for months and you do not have use of it. Make them start thinking. Tell them to look at how they earned the previous month and ask them to imagine that they have 5 members who will earn at least that much, and that each member has a further 5 members. Do you have

Tell your affiliates that it takes time to get back what they have invested. Nothing happens overnight. Perhaps you should tell them that they should run the business according to their budget. If they can get more TripleClicks members to purchase items from TripleClicks and get their affiliates to do the same, they can work with their smaller budget. However, if affiliates want to leave and you have tried to show them these things, there's nothing you can do but wish them well in their endeavors.

Good day !

What should you say to your PSAs when they say they are going to quit because they are putting out more than they are receiving?

I always say that it is an investment for the future.
Also tell them that it is their own business.
No one has started his own business with no investment.
With hard work every investment returns and gives the profit.
Also ask them if they understand the SFI and investing in SFI?
If not I am always in the

It is natural to invest in a business, especially in the early days.

Think of a bricks-and-mortar business. Most people would have to go to their bank or get a large loan from somewhere in order to cover start-up costs, running expenses, and living expenses for the first several months.

With SFI, you do not need to re-mortgage your home or commit to a large loan and interest payments. You can build your SFI business with minimal or even no capital investment at all. You can

First of all they have to understand - nothing worth your while comes easy and no successful business became successful because it was easy or because the owner is lazy.
They also have to understand that it is not going to happen overnight.

Help them to change their approach and work out a plan of action, maybe re-think their goals and to remember why they started it in the first place.

BUT - having said that - if you get a feeling that nothing you say will change their

Dear Diana,
those who complain about the issue raised by you, obviously never worked on their own.
What it means to work on their own:
Working on your own means to rent or buy a store, buy merchandise, pay for heating, electricity and water.
All these expenses, working on the Internet, there is no contract with the exception of a humble internet business.
Without this consideration it is possible to succeed in our work. However, they need to invest a minimum simply because

I have not seen it talked about recently in the Forum, but when reading some past posts written by SFI successes, there is a goal that not many of us look at as a short term goal. That is to make more than you spend in a month. We all want this, but few list it as a written goal. How strange that something we desire so much is not included in our written gals.

I would encourage my PSAs and CSAs to include this in their goals along with the desired month. I would also have them to set a

I tried to convince them not to give up so easily, because for every success takes a lot of hard work. You need to be looking at successful people in this business and follow their instructions for the operation of the business.
If you need sometimes to invest money in your business - it will certainly pay off later!
And I'll always be there to support its members if there were any problems.
However, in this work after a hard work and after a few months you become your own boss and

I would remind them that there is no successful business that has substantial return without hard work and a serious investment. Then I would tell them it's OK to quit but it will cost you much more than what they already put in. There is No return for quitting. We will still be here when they change their mind.

Continue to work with the workers, let them go... The world will teach them the hard way. I guess they could invest in a 401K or the stock market and end up with less than they

I would say to my PSAs to ask themselves a question. The question would
is did you quit your day job thinking that I'm going to make enough
money to support my family or help supplement my income? SFI is a
big help in teaching you that this is your SFI's business. It may seem as
though you are taking in a lot of information and applying it to obtain a
rank that pleases you. Should I be paid for acquiring knowledge to
make my business better or just give up. How would
