Rules of Success (SFI) One

The amazing Down-to-earth, practical and dilligently followed Rules of Success put forward for SFI affiliates, who do well practicing these simple yet effective ideas in building a Strong (Financial)Future, and a stronger Home Based Business for themselves.

Persist until you win

Building a successful business will require persistence and determination. Though many would like you to believe otherwise (including most of our competitors), there's simply no such thing as "get rich quick." And, I'm sorry, but almost all "overnight success" stories you hear about were actually YEARS in the making. 

Some will, some won't. So what?! Someone's waiting! Next!

Because most people aren't "entrepreneurial," rejection is natural and normal in our type of business. For every 20 people you present SFI to, expect 19 "no's" for every "yes." You may do better than that, but expect 19 rejections. This way, the rejections won't bother you. Also, realize that they're not rejecting YOU—they're simply rejecting an idea. Just keep moving ahead.

Don't be a negative thinker

Your attitude determines your altitude in your life, so make sure it's positive! And don't let the negative attitudes of others (even if they're family members, friends, or peers) influence you.

 Don't major in minors

1.     Don't let little problems upset you. Concentrate on the positives...and the "big picture."

Don't let changes upset you. Know that you will have to deal with changes, both big and small, continually. Be prepared to be flexible and to adapt as needed.

Think BIG!

As our SFI slogan says, aim high and dream big! Small desire produces small results, just as a small fire produces little heat.

Don't quit

The only way to fail in SFI is if you give up.

Send praise down (and criticism up)

Have something positive to share? Send it to your downline! One of your jobs as an upline member is to provide your downline with motivation, inspiration, and help create and maintain momentum.

Focus

You cannot become successful in anything when you're trying to do too many things at once. As they say, chase two rabbits and you'll catch neither!

Winning starts with beginning

There will never be a "perfect" time. Start now, with whatever you have. The tools you need will come to you as you learn more about SFI and work toward your goals. And don't be derailed by "perfection paralysis" either. Realize that you won't be able to do everything perfectly. Do the best job you can. Keep learning and keep moving ahead. That's the key.

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.

Set goals...and publish them!

A valid plan for success must include not just goals, but published goals too. Use this section of our Affiliate Profile to set yours and review your goals often at your SFI Homepage (see "My Goals" section). Once you've set your goals, print out the page and keep it on the wall near where you work on your SFI business. i.e. Publish them!
