Success/Failure - Part IV

SFI's president, Mr. Gery Carson, has distilled over 17 years of building the #1 affiliate program on the internet today into what he calls the "SFI Rules Of Success". It's very simple: If you want to SUCCEED, you must follow these rules. If you want to risk FAILURE, ignore them. These rules can be applied to any business. 

Here are rules #10 and $11.

Set goals...and publish them!

A valid plan for success must include not just goals, but published goals! In the “profile” section of the SFI Affiliate Center site, there is a worksheet for every new affiliate to complete their goals. Additionally, on the Affiliate Center homepage you can view your goals daily, and update them, if necessary, every month. Once you've set your goals, you can even print out the page and keep it on the wall near where you work on your SFI business, or anywhere you like. i.e. Publish them!

This may seem silly to you, but psychologically it can be a game-changer. No one knows why exactly, but publishing your goals seems to launch activity in your powerful subconscious mind that seems to literally "pull" you towards the achievement of your goals!

Studies on goal-setting have revealed truly amazing statistics. For example, a study of college students who used goal-setting in college found they eventually landed in the top percentile of all earners!

Setting goals is so easy to do, yet 95% of people never set goals. They just never take the time. And who do you think are the most successful, highest-earning people in the world? The 5% group of course! If you want to be in the 5% group, don't even think about ignoring goal-setting!

"People with goals succeed because

they know where they're going." -Earl Nightingale

"Put your goals in writing. If you can't put it on a sheet of paper,

you probably can't do what it takes to achieve the goal." -Unknown

One reason why some people cannot write down their goals is because their goals do not match their ‘core desires’. Best selling author, Jack Zufelt, has a great book on this subject which I highly recommend titled, “The DNA of Success”. You can get your own digital copy of the book here for only $14.95.

Have a plan (a realistic plan)

Goals are vital, as Rule #10 makes clear, but you must also have a plan to achieve your goals, and it must be realistic.

Start with this: Though SFI is truly one of the few businesses where you can earn while you learn, think of your first 6-12 months primarily as a training period. Build this into your plan. In this era of "instant everything," I know that's a tough thing for a lot of people to deal with, but big incomes simply do not happen overnight. It's just not reality. If it was, everybody would be rich.

Instead, plan to work the hardest your first 6-12 months or so and get compensated the least. Don't expect large earnings until after you've educated yourself and given yourself time to put your plan fully into operation.
