Open Your Eyes to Your Potential

Rules of Success #8

Open your eyes to your potential

"The millionaire says to a thousand people, 'I read this book and it started me on the road to wealth.' Guess how many go out and get the book? Very few. Isn't that incredible? Why wouldn't everyone get the book?!" -Jim Rohn

You may not realize it right now, but inside you you have the potential to become very, very successful. Successful beyond your wildest dreams. So why aren't you? By and large, it's because our schools, governments, teachers, professors, and clergy don't teach you this!

On the contrary in fact, you've been programmed your whole life to accept mediocrity, to believe that conforming and compromising is the way you go through life and that real success is unachievable except for the "privileged." Of course, people that have become highly successful have learned this is not true at all and they have broken out of these artificial constraints...and so should you!

For me, it was reading the classic book "Think And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill at the age of 22 that opened my eyes. I was also greatly impacted by "The Magic Of Thinking Big" by David Schwartz. I still highly recommend these books to anyone who wants to do great things in their life.

I also recommend one of the world's most famous success experts and authors, Jack Zufelt, as someone you'll want to familiarize yourself with.

Like Napoleon Hill and David Schwartz , Jack opens your eyes to your true potential. Indeed, what Jack teaches is so powerful he has been interviewed on over 2,000 radio and TV talk shows. PBS aired a special about him that was broadcast via satellite to 127 countries. The United States Senate honored him for teaching Americans how to achieve more success in their personal lives and careers. He was even awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit by the President of the United States!

Jack's books and CDs can literally change your life and I highly recommend them to all our affiliates! Check out all of Jack's products at: https://www.dnamastercourse.com/

Rules of Success #8

Leaders Are Readers

"If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you! If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you!" -- Zig Ziglar

The language of the following article is specific to SFI. However, as with the previous posts, the principles stated can be applied to any business. Keep in mind that these Rules of Success articles come directly from the pen of Gery Carson, president and founder of SFI, and are intended for SFI affiliates. 

It's ABSURD to think you can succeed in SFI if you're not visiting the SFI Affiliate Center at least once a day and reading the latest information and updates. EVERY DAY, at the very least, you should be reviewing the headlines, daily to-do's, and other updated SFI information on your SFI homepage. You should also be reading the latest posts on the SFI Forum. If you're not reading all or most of these things, you are clearly NOT serious about SFI and you will therefore not succeed.

Tip: I post multiple times at the SFI Forum almost every day, including weekends. By reading my posts, you'll gain a LOT of insights into the direction of the company. You can easily follow all my postings by clicking the BY GC tab at the Forum.

But don't stop with the SFI Affiliate Center. Go out on the Web every day and subscribe to marketing newsletters, read business blogs, etc. There's an absolute wealth of information out there, much of it now 100% free thanks to the Internet. And, of course, there are books galore that will allow you to run circles around the non-readers of the world.

Everything you need for your better future and success has already been written. Go out and get it...and read it. It's one of the easiest ways to climb the ladder of success.

TIP: When you join SFI you'll be invited to advance to the level of Executive Affiliate by purchasing an E-Pack. Included in your E-Pack is a three-month subscription to ECommergy where you can learn everything you need to know to succeed in business. In addition, all affiliates have access to SFI's free training modules, Launchpad, etc.

Rules For Success

Rules of Success #7

YOU Make it Happen, No One Else

Continuing the series "Hitting it Big in SFI", Here is Rule #7 of the Rules of Success. If you missed the previous 6 you can get caught up. Start HERE...

Not only is this a key rule in SFI, but I consider this to be amongst THE most important lessons in life. NO ONE ELSE can make you successful. It's all up to you. YOU are the "master of your destiny" and responsible for your own success. Period.

Conversely, there's not anyone or anything that will make you a failure. It does no good to blame the economy, your education, or whatever bad breaks you've had in your life. Doing so means taking on a victim's mentality. DON'T EVER DO THIS. I can guarantee you that many thousands of people have succeeded despite having it much worse, so don't make excuses and don't convince yourself that you're somehow a victim.

And the grass isn't any greener on the other side either. You have now (or can acquire) everything you need to be successful. Just remember that it's up to you and nobody else. Then go out and do it.

Now, for those who might be thinking, "well, that's easy for you to say, Gery!"…the fact is, I've achieved what most people would say is extraordinary success, but it was not handed to me, not by any stretch. I come from a very small Nebraska town and very humble beginnings. When I started in business I had no business education, no experience, and no money to invest. And it took four long years (the first two moonlighting into the wee hours of the night while holding down a full-time job), before I ever saw a profit. I had no mentors, no great upline leaders or sponsors to guide me, nor any wealthy relatives to come to my aid. But I decided I was going to become successful and I did. And I've put in the work every day for over 30 years now to stay successful.

So...it's not your sponsor. It's not your upline. It's not the economy. It's not the government. It's not the compensation plan. It's not any of these things or any other obstacles perceived to be in your way. If you want to become successful, you can go around the obstacles, go over, go under, or go right through them. Success is yours if you want it, but ONLY YOU control this. Always remember: "If it's to be, it's up to me."

Rules of Success #6

YOU Succeed Only if THEY Succeed

"You can get everything you want if you help enough others get what they want." - Zig Ziglar

"It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed."

 - Napoleon Hill

You know what the number one complaint we receive is? It's affiliates telling us that their sponsor/upline doesn't support them, never answers their emails, never communicates with them, etc.

Think about this. Do YOU want to make money for someone who demonstrates no support or assistance? Of course not. It's the same thing with the affiliates you sponsor. If they feel you do not care about them, they will not want to build their SFI businesses because they will not want to see their hard work benefiting some stranger they never hear from. Surely you don't want your affiliates feeling this way!

If you're sponsoring affiliates and then leaving them to fend for themselves, just quit right now because you're guaranteeing failure for yourself. Every affiliate you sponsor is a potential goldmine for you. You MUST understand that only if THEY succeed, do YOU succeed. I can't stress enough the importance of understanding this rule!

And, yes, it's true you can't MAKE the affiliates in your downline successful (they have to want that for themselves), but let it never be said that you weren't there for your affiliates!

Start by opening up good lines of communication with all your affiliates. This is how you can teach your affiliates how to succeed in SFI and how you build relationships with your affiliates (very important!).

First, set up a greeting for your affiliates. Once you've set this up, all of your new affiliates, upon logging in at the SFI Affiliate Center for the first time, will see an alert that you've left them a message. By clicking on this alert, they'll then be able to read your message. This is an easy, automatic way to get off to a great start in building relationships with your affiliates.

Next, you'll want to develop some form of regular outgoing communications to stay in touch, share ideas, and provide training. We recommend a weekly (or every-other-week) e-mail using the PSA Mailer. Just enter your message and hit submit to automatically send a message to all of your PSAs (personally sponsored affiliates).

Now, you may be new to SFI and/or business in general. You may feel you have nothing you can teach your affiliates. That's OK, you can learn and grow into the leader role over time. And, after all, all the training your affiliates really need is at the SFI Affiliate Center. But what you must never do is allow your affiliates to think their sponsor (you) is uncaring. If you do that, if you do not communicate with your affiliates, success will be a hundred times harder to attain.

NOTE: SFI makes it super easy to keep in touch with all the affiliates in your downline. When you become an Executive Affiliate you have access to a full suite of communication tools including a searchable genealogy, mailer, affiliate reminder tool, E-Cards and more!

"If you want to invest in something with minimum risk and a guaranteed big return,

invest in yourself." -- -Unknown

Rules of Success #5

Parlay is the way

As a new entrepreneur and SFI Affiliate, your best strategy should be all about “PARLAYING.”

What does that mean exactly? Here's a good definition: To use or develop something such as money or a skill to make it more successful or worth more.

The essence is that you "parlay" something you have into something better. And you keep doing this over and over until you reach (or exceed!) your financial goals.

This is what I've done my entire adult life. I started my own business—with no money—at the age of just 23 and I've been parlaying to better and better ever since. And if I were brand new and had no money to invest in a business today, I would use the same strategy.

First, I would take an inventory. Do I have some items around the house I don't really need that I can sell for a little starter cash? Can I temporarily eliminate a few niceties (fancy coffee or donuts)? Is there a project someone in the neighborhood needs done that would garner me a few dollars? Can I get a temporary part-time job? One or more of these will be more than enough to get you started.

Now I've got a bit of money to get started with my parlaying strategy.

If I have enough money, I'd go EA (buy an E-Pack). The fact is, the E-Pack is literally designed for parlaying! With an E-Pack, you can use the included TCredits to win something that can help your business. And the bonus 1000 Rewardicals—that you can exchange for PSAs, CSAs, Bitcoin, and more—are all about helping you grow a business from nothing and help you become financially independent.

If you can't come up with enough for an E-Pack right away, that's okay too. We all have to start with whatever we have.

So perhaps you have to start with just telling people you know about SFI. Or maybe you put up some inexpensive fliers. TIP: We have a number of free/inexpensive marketing methods documented in our Marketing Center.

We also have our inexpensive "X-Cards" which can be used in a variety of low-cost ways.

As I mention in another Rules of Success lesson, it's also very important to start learning everything you can about becoming successful in business. Don't waste time trying to figure it out on your own. There are thousands of people who've already made all the mistakes. You get to learn from them and save all that time and pain! And all the information you need is at your fingertips today, thanks to the internet! There's no excuse for not having the knowledge to earn whatever amount of money you want to earn. Want to be a millionaire, or even a billionaire? All the information is out there. All you have to do is grab it and APPLY it.

One last thing: To go from broke (no money) to financial independence, you may also need to become a Guerrilla Marketer. Guerrilla marketing draws upon creativity and inspiration—instead of monetary investment.

If you'e not familiar with it, the term guerrilla marketing was popularized by Jay Conrad Levinson. Jay's 1984 book Guerrilla Marketing was so successful that it was named by Time Magazine as one of the top 25 most influential business management books, selling over 21 million copies. It was so influential, that it has been called as one of the top marketing books ever written. You might want to check it out—as I did more than 25 years ago.

Bottom line: Know that you have to invest SOMETHING to build a successful business. It can be money. But it can also be "sweat equity," hustle, and just plain effort. Start with small, reachable goals (e.g. sponsoring two new PSAs in your first 30 days or making one retail sale). Then keep parlaying month after month! Do that and you can turn "nothing" into a thriving, profitable business. That's what I did—and you can do it too!

Invest in yourself... 

Join SFI and build something great for yourself and your family!

Hitting it Big in SFI - Part IV

Rules of Success #4

Work With The Workers

Way too many people focus on QUANTITY. They sponsor dozens, even hundreds of affiliates–which is great–but it is ultimately QUALITY that is the real key. Once you've found or developed 3-5 topnotch affiliates, you're going to see a lot of great things happen with your commission check.

How do you develop quality affiliates? It's real simple: WORK WITH THE WORKERS!

When you see people who are working SFI in your group, work with them! Support them closely, and train them to do the things you do so that you are creating duplication and maximum leverage. TIP: You can easily locate these people by checking your My Movers page daily.

It's of course more natural for us to let the workers in our group just do their own thing. After all, they got active without you even telling them to, they're already sponsoring new affiliates, referring members, etc. They don't need your help or support–or so you think.

Meanwhile, you're spending all your time trying to get the people who obviously don't "get it" to do something. As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink—yet you continue to try.

You need to know that this is exactly the opposite of what you should be doing to build a successful business. I'm not saying you shouldn't follow up with those who don't immediately get active with SFI. You should. But don't spend ALL or even the majority of your time with this. And DEFINITELY DO NOT IGNORE your workers!

Indeed, the way you create those 3 to 5 "top-gun" affiliates that you need is by treating them LIKE YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON THEM!

If you're not in touch with your best, hardest-working affiliates at least every week (email, phone calls, chatroom, or whatever), I'm sorry, but you're trying to win a race with a car that only has one wheel!

How many affiliates will you have to go through to find your top guns? That's of course difficult to say. What I can tell you though is that they're out there (or are ALREADY in your group), and you'll develop them so long as you deny your natural instincts and apply the proper focus (work with the workers!).

Just like in a deck of playing cards, you KNOW there are four aces. If you start working your way through the deck, the first ace may not come up for a while, but eventually it will so long as you keep going through the deck. And if you don't quit, you'll eventually locate FOUR aces. It's the very same principle with SFI; the aces are there.

Keep sponsoring affiliates, work with your workers, and success will happen.

Tip: Don't waste time on skeptics or pessimists. They will NOT succeed in SFI or any other similar endeavor. They do not possess the qualities of a winner (this includes "rocking-chair advisors" who talk and talk, seem to know all the answers, but never act).

If YOU are ready to work, I'd love to have you on my team. 

Let's get started building something great!

Rules of Success #3

Lead By Example

Rule #3 is pretty simple and straight forward... Do what you want the affiliates on your team to do!

If you want your affiliates sponsoring affiliates, referring members, etc., then make sure YOU are doing these things. Do these things and become proficient in these things so you can show and teach your affiliates the best ways to do them.

In the key area of duplication, your affiliates are definitely watching! Show them what it means to be a strong, active sponsor and THEY will become strong, active sponsors and help you further your growth and profits.

Leading by example works in the negative, too, of course. Want a downline of affiliates who do nothing? Then do nothing and that's what you'll likely get!

So...the rule is real simple: Whatever you want THEM to do, YOU do, because they are following your lead!

Tip: Becoming a Booster Club member is a great way to lead by example. You'll get 730 extra Daily Grand drawing entries annually AND a prestige Booster Club badge to reflect your Booster Club status. Your PSAs and CSAs will see this badge on your Leadership Page and your Affiliate Snapshot. Make sure you are sending everyone in your group the right message!

Here is part 2 of Hitting it Big in SFI, adapted from Gery Carson's Rules of Success.

Rules of Success #2

DO something to grow your business every day

You will not create a successful business by thinking about it. You will create a successful business ONLY by DOING...by TAKING ACTION every day. Every day, no matter what, make sure you're doing SOMETHING to further your business. If you're not, you're not even in the game, you're kidding yourself. No business becomes successful without daily focus and action.

What can you do daily? Here are just a few ideas:

• Follow up with recent prospective members.
• Review the latest news & updates on your SFI Affiliate Center Homepage every day.
• Send out some E-Cards.
• Try out a new SFI Marketing Aid.
• Send out some X-Cards.
• Review the LaunchPad Getting Started Training Lesssons.
• Read the latest ecommerce articles at ECommergy.com.
• Send out a newsletter to your PSAs.
• Read an SFI training article you haven't read yet (or review one you have).
• Contact your sponsor, and let him or her know what you're doing.
• Go to Google and search for articles on how to become a better marketer.
• Browse the Zing Network for new products and services you can recommend to your customers.
• Review the latest posts on the SFI Forum.
• Review your Genealogy and Member List.
• Review the Hit Tracker page to maximize your marketing efforts.
• Start a co-op and invite your PSAs to join.
• Add some prospects to your Rewardical ECA database.
• Review your My Movers page.
• Review some POWER TIPS at the SFI Help Desk.

TIP: Don't forget to use your SFI Power Tools! Put the power of key codes, hit tracking, your own advertising co-op, the PSA Mailer, the CSA Mailer, Genealogy, and more to work for your business. To not use these best-of-the-best tools is to operate your SFI business with two arms tied behind your back!

NOTE: You MUST be an Executive Affiliate to gain access to the power tools. Only $19.95 and you get 50 TCredits to transform into Rewardicals and Bitcoin, plus instant access to all power tools, benefits and perks, a 3-month subscription to ECommergy, and guaranteed income!

Hitting it Big in SFI

Success leaves clues! SFI's founder Gery Carson compiled a list of 20 rules of success that I will share with you over the next 20 posts. Although these rules are for SFI Affiliates, they are valid for any business.

Rules of Success #1

Treat Your Business...Like a Business!

If you purchased a franchise, would you expect it to make money for you if you only worked it a few hours a week? Or if you didn't get trained? Or if you only tried for a few months? Or if you didn't follow the proven guidelines of the creators of the franchise?

Of course not! That's ridiculous. SFI is no different. Success requires commitment.

I am continually amazed at how many people think that money will somehow magically fall from the sky without work, without plans, or without an earnest commitment. All these elements (and others you'll read about in the following rules) MUST be present.

The fact is, anything worthwhile in life requires effort and commitment. If that were not true, we'd all be the perfect weight, we'd all have perfect relationships, and we'd all be highly educated. It's the same thing with having your own business.

In short, if you treat your SFI business as a serious, full-time business, put in the effort and commit to its success, it will become a serious, full-time business.

--------------

SFI's business plan is very simple and lucrative. Simply follow the 3-step plan outlined in SFI's Launchpad Training module and you'll be on your way to building a profitable online business!
