Naturally, many human beings want to acquire wealth quickly without much effort. It is not surprising that the Internet is awash with thousands of people and companies with websites claiming to have the magic wand, formulae or techniques to make people rich within weeks or months. Most of these people are scams who dupe the unsuspecting victims even for as low as one Dollar. These people use tricks and convincing words to get people to sign on their programs. Thus some people who are sponsored to

A lot of people are desperate for money and they want it and need it fast. They are not to blame for looking for a business that would make them rich overnight. Will they find that business? No! Instead, they will only lose their hard earned money by making the marketing guru get rich very quick.

It is a learning process, they just do not know any better. Those who do not realize this early enough get their fingers burned several times. They eventually find their way back to a genuine

The common thread found in all answers are the rampant internet scams which promise that subscribers can 'make' hundreds or thousands of dollars daily or every week. SFI is seen by everyone in the same light. Whereas on the contrary, SFI's genuineness cannot be over emphasized. Just as there is a time to sow, then a period of waiting for the crop to ripen and only thereafter the joy of harvesting. At SFI we just do diligent and persistent hard work, then wait patiently for our hard work to multiply--and

Sometimes people think this is a get rich quick project because of some of the implied statements made by some team leaders. If you take the time to read your launchpad lessons, they tell you specifically that this is not a get rich quick project. You will earn what you are able and willing to invest. If your funds are limited, you will have limited income. If you have ample capital to invest, like in the standing orders and the S-Builder Co-op, then you stand a chance of making more money. People

We are in a fast changing world with the internet taking the world by storm. Some have made really some good money from it, it's another thing that most have got their hands burnt. Hence, due to the complexities and uncertainties of this ever changing market, people think they can also make a killing of a similar kind as the successful ones.

It's simply because the internet is awash with get-rich-quick scam systems that have fleeced many of us. Such scams promise overnight riches, which we all know is not possible without putting in equivalent amount of work towards your pre-set goals. It's like failing to set a target and still expect to hit the undefined target. These get rich quick scam systems make people to perceive most online systems as just scam and therefore many become inactive after joining SFI, expecting to earn commissions

I had to chuckle a little at this question...because the ONLY reason I joined this program (and company) was specifically because they didn't tell me I would become rich overnight. They told me something that sounded wise - that I had to work to make money. Anyone that offers you an opportunity that will make you rich overnight is a scam. Because money doesn't grow on trees, you have to work for it.
