This is a great question - simply put as the nature of being human we wish to have instant gratification and when it comes to financial success - I see many who wish to have a "get-rich-quick" approach. There are many days when I meet people on public transit who discuss the "lucky" person who won the lottery and is an instant millionaire, so people are simply looking for an alternate approach to their riches and think SFI is the way to do it quickly. SFI is a sound business

Because every Internet based business suggests that it is possible. They all talk about how so and so made their first million. To anyone out there looking, this is just another one of those businesses. And what is wrong with wanting to get rich quick, I know I want to.

I have a short answer to this very interesting and intriguing question.

When one clicks the link from a Gateway one is welcomed by images of hundreds of US dollars floating in the air from the screen of a laptop.

Then there are more of the Green Stuff with the blurb of how great SFI business is with the clincher to get started and it is quick, easy, and FREE!

This is one of those questions that I can answer from a personal standpoint. When I first started on my journey to getting "rich-quick" (1996), I can't remember responding to one offer that made me feel that getting rich, overnight, was an impossibility. Which is why it always hit me hard whenever I failed, which was all of the time. I learned the hard way, there just aren't any easy paths to riches or success, unless you can start off with a great deal of money, and even then, it's not

People do not want to work for their money. They want to get rich without doing anything for it. They want the easy way to get rich and that is not possible unless you win the lottery or have a rich heir.

Well with the hard economic reality we face today, people naturally tend to shift and jump at any opportunity which they think will bring a quick solution to their problems. But the stark reality remains that most of these get-rich-quick Websites are scams, as most persons will come to realize. But I am of the opinion and a strong one too, that SFI is not like those other sites. Here patience and dedication to hard work helps you build your business which will, in time, yield dividends.

Because a lot of on-line services say that. We see it all over the internet. But at least we were told the truth. SFI tells us right away that it could take some time.

Working Online for money seems easy because that's how most online businesses are made to look and then one realizes it is still hard work. Either he would let go of it and call it a scam or persevere and succeed. But there are indeed plenty of scams on the Internet. As with anywhere else, one has to be wary and wise.

Get-rich-quick scheme will not work ... it takes time and hard work. Here you get a reliable residual income, not profits.

I think the main reason why is this so, is because the number of minimum VersaPoints of 1,500 required was regarded as money to be changed into dollars. That is part of the perception people who seem to join SFI think it's get-rich-quick.

Secondly, being the only online marketing group company which is on the forefront in the art of and science of marketing, newbies think they could get-rich-quick by winning all kinds of races, promotions, etc. said to be in dollars and in products.

Thirdly,
