Hello,

To be honest, you're not alone at all on that. I almost did too a couple of days after I joined SFI too, but what I did what continue to pep talk myself into believing that SFI can truly help me. I looked at the SFI Basics, the "Start" video, and the Launchpad.

Most importantly though, I looked at all of the testimonials within the Launchpad as well as the bottom of every SFI page about what others were saying about SFI and I continued motivating myself by taking a lot of my time in order to learn something new and I got to tell ya, THIS is amazing!

If things get tough, never give up. Remember that a stumbling block is always temporary and a "new" path will open again allowing you to continue and proceed forward. There are a whole heap of opportunities to succeed in this business and it is incredible I must say. The golden goal is to NEVER GIVE UP! You WILL succeed!

Honestly, in my entire 16 months with SFI I never thought of giving up. Your question is just right for me to answer "what did keep me pushing forward?"

1. In my first month, I tried my best to understand the SFI business processes. I look for the success factors and I am surprise that there are only two. Affiliates and personally earned VP.

2. I focus all my efforts and investment on finding affiliates while maintaining the right amount of VP.

3. I understand that what will jumpstart my SFI business without me investing a lot from my own pocket is to find affiliates who are keen on online earning and has credit Cards and have tried buying online. I list down all people I know and true enough I found two. I asked them to study SFI together and both of them concluded that SFI will work. So, there I go I had my first two affiliates who bought something and I earned my commission.

4. I invested almost all my earnings in the first few months to find more affiliates.

I would say setting the right goal and doing the right thing keep me pushing forwrd with my SFI. Now I have more than 11,000 in my downlines up to six generations. I still keep on pushing until I will reach 12 generations.

Hello Dignasia,
The question that you asked is something very common that comes in each affiliates mind within 2-3 months of joining the SFI program. I had been working with SFI for over one year and to tell you the truth this question even came to my mind quite a few times. I even Thought of giving up on SFI when I saw my initial results.
The main reason why every joins this program is to earn good money. Most of the people think of earning a good income within the first month which most of us know is not possible. This is the reason they give up, and moreover from the second month they need to start investing.
What made me stick to SFI was that I understood that it is my business and i need to work hard to build up my business. I am also running a music academy here. I remembered that in the initial stages things did not worked as I expected. But after working hard, doing a lot of promotion and advertising and even equipping my self with more professional musical skills, eventually things changed for me.
Today it is a leading academy in the town and I am now treated as a well known musician here.
These were the things that I even applied to my SFI business, and by God's grace now I see how things are changing for me. I am now satisfied with it and never want to give up but build up.
Always remember a biblical principal: "Give and it will come back to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over". No business on the face of the earth will ever flourish, unless you start investing your money, time,skills and dedication in it. It is like an insurance policy that you buy and keep paying your premiums time to time and wait for it to mature. On maturity, your money is back with almost a double of extra cash. Remember SFI is not a get rich quick program, instead it is a Get rich for sure program.
I hope my answer would have helped you.

I almost gave up SFI a few years back because I didn't have enough knowledge about affiliate marketing business and at that time my sponsor/uplines never helped me in any way as what I had to do with SFI Business.

When I came back again here, now I have gained lot of knowledge in affiliate marketing business and I am really happy that I can help many to make them earn by just doing simple processes.

SFI business is purely a transparent business and any body can do this with ease. No one will quit SFI if they do understand the business. It is the business for them and also for their downlines.

Can any one guess how much he will expect to earn after his retirement? SFI paves the platform for your future earnings and it is not like any flying away program. It stays here for more than 15 years, and we all know very well that lot of programs have gone in this past 15 years.

Being confident on ourselves and duplication the processes as instructed by SFI will definitely give you success.

Hence why should I give up? Ask Yourself.

My goal for joining SFI was financial freedom, therefore quitting is not an option. I was lucky to love SFI because when you love something you are always passionate about it. I do not want to miss a single day without at least doing to-do list unless there are circumstances beyond my control, for example, when I am in a place where I have no access to the internet. I do not have access to the internet at home, so I always do my business at work, even during weekends. When I am out of town I go to the Internet Cafe.

I am also financially challenged but I learnt how to generate required points without funds through reading Ask SC questions and answers. Sometimes I ask for TCredits from my supportive Sponsor to generate VPs and MRPs in Pricebenders Auctions, which I use to purchase some more TCredits and earn Sales VPs. I managed to reach EA status and maintained it for three months now.

I believe my love and motivation for SFI came from the determination to reach my goal.

To your success!

It is very common to see that when we do sponsoring, majority of sign-ups are inactive. Why? Most of them are just checking out or are not sure if the SFI opportunity is for them, or they may log in and accumulate some VPs but short of attaining EA. The reasons for becoming inactive might include lack of time, too much work, lack of financial investment, difficulty in understanding the concept or simply SFI is not for them.

One thing that separates the active from inactive is the ability to define his /her goal. If you know what you want and where you are headed to then you are motivated to pursue your goal.

The average person spends his life living out someone else dreams for so called security. You must know your true calling align your career with your passion.

I found my true calling in SFI. Through SFI, I can engage in my passion of helping others to succeed. I love sending support messages and encouragement to my downlines. I also share positive thoughts to my a2a friends. I always look forward in participating ASK SC so that I can share my knowledge and experience that might benefit others in SFI community. SFI provides us a place to explore our talents and attain the highest level of our potential to succeed.

By focusing on these, I move on forward and am able also to motivate and help others, especially those who are struggling. The happiness that I will gain from doing this is priceless.

Answer the question:

" What's in it for me? "

With a perfect business system, which here allows you to run your own business and earn money, but also to learn previously how to do it( knowledge will do you good and will last you forever ), you'll know how to drive your inner strength and move on.

My answer to the above question is:
1. I enjoy this job .
2. I look forward to every small success.
3. My knowledge of online marketing is every day bigger.
4. As much as I do, so I earn.
5. The payment is regular, just in time.
6. I believe that I can achieve my goals in this company (thanks to a business system that works and the great support that is available to me).
7. There is much more, I really enjoy every part of the job... :)

Currently, my team is very small, some members have never run their businesses, while others have given up. However, I will not give up.
I become convinced that this is the real job, and I am paid for my work. If you do not have success, invest more time and effort, be creative, find a new way to advertise, re-read the lessons in "Internet Income" https://www.sfimg.com/Training/InternetIncome, read it again "Rules of Success" https://www .sfimg.com / ROS / Index.

I believe that this will help you to make the right decision!

In order not to keep pushing forward in SFI one needs the mindset that SFI is not a get rich scheme but a business that one has to invest time and money in in order to be successful. If an affiliate is mindful of this fact then he will continue to push forward even when he does not see a big commission in the initial stages.

Secondly one has to enjoy doing the business. When you wake up each day and have that drive to attend to your business then you will keep pushing forward. You will want to find out what new messages you have, if you won the Daily Grand draw or if you won any TCredits on T-Time hourly draw. These are motivational factors that keeps me going.

Thirdly when you visit the forum then you are motivated to keep pushing forward. Many times you will find affiliates sharing inspirational stories or sharing inspirational quotes. There have also been times when some affiliates say that they feel like giving up and other affiliates will encourage them and help them to push forward.

These are some of the things that help me to push forward.

Sometimes this nasty thought of giving up when things are really tough can derail us. What did I do to keep pushing forward?

First I ask myself, if I give up now, what will happen to my team with whom I have invested so much time and energy in helping, shaping, and developing them to become confident and successful business people? I know they will roll up to my upline, but what about their personal feeling because of the bond of friendship I have built with them, it's like leaving family and friends.

Then I ask myself, if I give up now, what will happen to my business, in which I have invested so much time, energy, commitment and money? Is my dream of financial freedom that easy to let go?

Next I ask myself, what are the alternatives out there for an unemployed, a retiree, a physically disabled, or simply someone who lacks social skills, a stay-at-home mom or dad,or someone from a social and ethnic backgrounds where resources are limited? It's like dog eats dog out there.

Finally, I go back to my Homepage, review the SFI BASICS, SFI RULES OF SUCCESS,read the posts at Forum, answers at Ask SC, and the LaunchPad lessons from Day 1 to Day 30 and then it hits me! Why, the fun has just begun!

There are still more hills to climb, sure, but they are only hills. The Big Picture is right there at the top of the mountain we have yet to conquer, and the Big Picture looks very attractive!

Now I say to myself, quit? No way! I will finish what I have begun.

It was a Herculean task for me initially, having participated in several MLM businesses ,some online and failed. I was encouraged by my sponsor to register for SFI.

I had to keep logging into the affiliate center everyday even though i couldn't make up to 1,500 VersaPoints for several months in a row.

Somehow, i kept studying the business each time i logged in coupled with the weekly mails i was receiving from time to time. I got to discover other ways to earn up to 1,500 VersaPoints a month and decided to give it a try.


With as little as $20, logging in everyday to earn at least 11 VersaPoints and 36 VersaPoints weekly, i found i could hit my much needed 1,500 VersaPoints each month. That would help me retain my EA status monthly.

Furthermore i found that signing up for the S-builder, wave - 3 and setting up a co-op for my down lines are other valuable means of growing in the business.

SFI has a lot to offer indeed.

It is a self - sufficient business in the sense that without warm marketing, you could get sign ups and grow your business. All that is expected of you is to invest your money, which is necessary for any business to thrive.

What's more? The sweetest part of it all is that SFI pays as at when due.
