What are you willing to sacrifice to build your SFI business?

I found this on the SFI forum.

What are you willing to sacrifice to build your SFI business?

1. Time?

You can never get it back, so you better invest it wisely. There never seems to be enough, so you better invest it wisely. How much time are you willing to spend with SFI to build your business? Some of it will be with SFI. Some of it will be advertising in different places.

How much time are you willing to commit to building your SFI business every day, and every week?

Whatever the number is in terms of hours per day, is entirely up to you. But whatever it is, will you be committed to doing it every single day?

Realize that the more time you spend building your SFI business will result in less time maintaining your SFI business once it becomes successful...that is, makes a profit. Once your business starts to make a profit, the amount of time you spend on the business is determined by the amount of profit you want to make.

So, do you want a successful SFI business? Then write down the number of hours you are committed to each day, and tape it to a bathroom mirror, next to the coffee pot, on the refrigerator, next to your computer/tablet/smart phone...anywhere you know you will be looking when you get up in the morning. Make it a daily affirmation if you have to.

2. Money?

Do you have any to spend on building a business? What do you spend money on now that you think you could otherwise spend on your business?

With SFI, you don't necessarily need money to build the business. You have products to sell on which you can earn commission, and you have free advertising methods available to you all over the place. BUT, you will then have to revert back to how much time you have to spend on this business. Because placing free advertisements takes a lot of time. In business, time is money.

The more money you might have available for let's say, advertising, is less time you have to spend doing it yourself.

How much money can you afford every month to spend on building your business? Take a look at all your finances, what you spend and where, and determine how much you can invest in your business. If you keep a budget, put it into your budget. If you don't have a budget, I suggest you start making one.

3. Pride?

If there is one thing that is common among all network marketing programs, mlm's, or most other home based business, it is this - you will probably be rejected over and over again. You will be rejected by people who say no right away.

You will be rejected by people who join you, and they do nothing. You will be rejected by people who join you, do well for a while, and then they quit.

And finally, you may be rejected by family and friends because online network marketing is just a scam.

Are you ready to sacrifice your pride? Until you start making a profit that is. Then your family and friends will think you are a marketing genius, and will want to know more.

But be careful, because when they want to know more, what they really want to do is make the same money as you without doing steps 1, 2, and 3. And then you'll be rejected all over again when they don't make a profit like you.

So, what are you willing to sacrifice to build your SFI business?
