This Bags Of Sand Story Will Dramatize Your Personal Journey To Financial

Success In

SFI Marketing Group!

 

There were 3 traveling merchants who set out on a long journey through the desert to buy some goods that they will resell for their next year's wages. 

The first night when they setup camp and were just about to bed down, there was a LOUD VOICE coming from the darkness that said,

"Before going to sleep tonight, fill your camel bags with sand from this location.  For when you reach your destination, you will be both glad and sad!" 

They each sat down, and started to analyze the details of this opportunity. 

One reasoned, "Aaah! That's too much work to fill up all these bags. Plus, I don't want to wear out my camels with all that extra weight on such a simple proposition.  That's stupid, I'm too smart to fall for that trick!" He went right to bed!

The second one sat for a minute and replied, "Who knows if what we heard was someone trying to just get an advantage on us at the market since our bags will be ruined?  But, then again,  there might be something to this opportunity.  I'll fill 2 of my bags with a little bit of sand, just to see what will happen."

He worked a few hours filling 2 of his 10 bags, then finally went to sleep.

The third more shrewd businessman didn't say much either way.  He thought and thought about this opportunity.  He even tried to go to sleep to forget about it, but he couldn't. 

He reasoned to himself, 

"The voice said we will be both glad AND sad.  How could that be?  Seems like it is impossible to have such different emotions about the same thing!" 

Finally, his better judgment won out, and he did almost EXACTLY as the voice from the darkness told him to do! Except, he decided to play it safe and only fill 5 of his 10 bags with sand, just in case. It took almost all night to fill-up 5 of the 10 bags he had. 

He also realized that he was taking a BIG RISK by putting sand in those precious bags, because they would be ruined by the time he got to his destination, and it would cost him EVERYTHING he had planned to EARN from the merchandise he was going to buy and put in those same bags for the return journey.

Ultimately, if things didn't work out, he would look foolish to his family and friends for risking half of his annual income for the next year, by coming home with only 5 bags of merchandise to resell, instead of all 10! 

Well, they trekked, and trekked through the desert, day by day. 

The first "smart" merchant kept telling them every day they were TOTAL fools.  They had done all that work, and every day the sand was doing more and more damage to their camel bags.

On top of that, they were wearing out their camels for the return journey!  Over and over, day in and day out they kept hearing all this negative talk. 

Finally, when they were 1 day away from their destination.  The second business man with 2 bags of sand got so discouraged thinking that he made such a big mistake. He just sat down and wept and wept for being so foolish.  He decided to empty out his 2 bags, and forget about the stupid opportunity, even though he noticed the sand had changed in color from the day they collected it.

The third businessman, being more optimistic about his final outcome, looked at the sand's color and said, Wow! Maybe, just maybe there is something to this opportunity BETTER THAN WHAT I'M DOING NOW!

That same change in color of the sand gave him a renewed a spark of hope that perhaps he should, at the least, SEE THE JOB THROUGH to see what will happen! 

Well, they trekked late into the night to reach their final destination, and being so dark, they just went to sleep. When they awoke the next morning, the smart businessman was so excited as he peeked in his first bag and saw SOMETHING AMAZING HAD HAPPENED! 

Then, he got even more excited as he looked in each one of his 5 bags!

To his astonishment and glee, every grain of worthless sand in his 5 bags had turned into PRECIOUS DIAMONDS!  Just ONE diamond was worth all the money he would earn in an ENTIRE MONTH from his business dealings!

He was finally OVER-JOYED, with his wise business decision to get started, and see the job through!

Then, he thought to himself...I'm so happy now!  How can I be sad at the same time like the voice said? Then, the light came on in his head...I only filled 5 of my bags...I foolishly left 5 empty. What would have happened if I had BLINDLY follow the EXACT details that were given and filled ALL 10 OF MY BAGS....DAMN ME! 

What's the moral of this story?

The prospects you find online are like these 3 traveling merchants looking for an online income. The "voice" will be your marketing ads.

Most of your prospects will not even attempt to work the SFI Business Opportunity. They will just look at the Gateway site to "Turn 5 Hours A Week Into A $500.00+ Monthly Income!" and say, That's A Trick to get my email address to send me a bunch of spam. That will NEVER happen, and close the site. They are like the first businessman who didn't fill any of his bags with sand.

Then, there will be those who sign up in SFI when they see the Gateway. That's easy to do.  Just fill out a form.  But, that's ALL THEY'LL DO!

Then, others will go a little bit further and login to look around the site for something they DON'T LIKE!  When they find it, they log out and NEVER return! 

A few more will work their VersaPoints Scoreboard to make it to 600+ VersaPoints, before they quit!

Then, there will be those who will make it to Executive Affiliate with 1500 VersaPoints. 

However, many of them will eventually still discount SFI for different reasons AS JUST ANOTHER WORTHLESS online money and time grab. Perhaps, they got NEGATIVE TALK from their family and friends for putting in all that work, and NOT SEE ANY IMMEDIATE MONEY FOR IT!

They have the J_O_B (just over broke) mentality.  I worked 5 hours on this and got paid NOTHING...Where's my $500.00?  They will think they must earned at least that much in the first 5 hours!

They are like the second merchant who filled 2 of his bags with a little bit of sand, but eventually let the negative talk from family, friends, and his own disappointment and discouragement win out by him "EMPTYING OUT HIS 2 BAGS" of SFI opportunity...ONE DAY BEFORE HIS DESTINATION!

But, a very small percentage of your prospects will be like the third wiser businessman in their decision making process.  They will see some potential in the details we will provide to help them get their business and income growing from ZERO! 

They will read all the emails we send, and go to all the websites we send. They will follow all the steps that are designed to use their 5 hours doing thing that will grow their income.

They will look at all the reports and see their Upline Team Leaders in the downline at or near the top of all the Progress Reports!

When they come to this site, they will see AFFILIATES WHO ARE MAKING THE VERSAPOINTS COMPENSATION PLAN WORK, and think to themselves, "I can do it too, if I keep doing what they are doing month in and month out"!

There will be just enough of them that will do all those steps TO SEE THE JOB THROUGH to see what will happen, for you to start seeing REAL income building progress!

The bottom line is this: Many will get started on the journey to SFI success for fear of loss, if nothing else.  However, over the next 3 to 5 years, many will get tired, discouraged, and quit! 

DON'T LET YOURSELF BE AMONG THEM!

There are definitely PRECIOUS DIAMONDS in all the BAGS of SAND that you will find on the internet.  They may look like worthless sand when you first sponsor them, but do your part to carry them through the desert of seemingly overwhelming information, uncertainty, negative family talk, and hard work while they head towards their destination to success.  Over time, some of them will start to change into positive motivators themselves, as they see more and more progress to success. 

This is a personal development process.  YOU and the upline get paid to be the developers!  We ALL are developers working together to turn your bags of Affiliate "sand" into PRECIOUS DIAMONDS.

To the extent that you will take your advertising and downline support work seriously, that's to the same extent your success and income growth will be.  Those who do nothing will get nothing, then they quit!

On your journey, you will see a lot Affiliates, Executive Affiliates,  Bronze Team Leaders, Silver Team Leaders, and perhaps even a few Gold Team Leaders come, make a few purchases, sponsor a few people, work their VersaPoints a few months, and then disappear!

DON'T GET DISCOURAGED WHEN YOUR TEAM LEADERS BOMB OUT! 

All it takes to make Team Leader is time doing a few VersaPoints, and money to buy a few products. Everyone has their own idea of what they expect from SFI after doing that.

For some, when their expectations are not met, they will quit!

What you will NOT see is a person with SALES GROWTH in their downline leave their SFI business! Focus on building SALES through Executive Affiliate development, and you will always stay motivated to keep  working to SEE THE JOB THROUGH! 

ONE FINAL NOTE:  Over the years, we have heard several multi-million dollar income earners in network marketing say it took them 10,000 hours of  advertising, business presentations, and downline support work to earn their first $100,000.00 in income. 

How long it takes YOU to build a full-time income from ZERO is determined by the amount of time you are putting in the beginning, into advertising your business.  Network marketing success is all about advertising to get the word out that you are IN BUSINESS! 

The more people you expose your Gateway site to, the better your chances are of finding PRECIOUS DIAMONDS who will work hard enough to make it to Team Leader, and keep working until their own business is growing monthly on autopilot!

Do some simple math at 20 hours a week, 40 hours a week, 60 hours a week.  Divide 10,000 hours by the amount of time you can set aside to grow YOUR income.

What you will find, on the average, it takes a  FULL-TIME AFFILIATE 3 to 4 years to reach their first $100,000.00 in income, using this proven destination to success formula.

But, whatever amount of time your schedule allows you to WORK your business, do it diligently and professionally.  Don't cheat yourself by "calling in sick" like people do on their day jobs.  Or "taking work time off" to play golf!

Make your online work schedule, and just STICK TO IT!  SFI income building success is only a matter of time, and effort!

I'M QUITTING!

FINAL THOUGHTS:  Over the years, we constantly receive emails from affiliates who say they are quitting.  Invariably, the underlining reason is always OUR fault.

These are the top 3 reasons:

"YOU DIDN'T HELP ME TO MAKE ANY MONEY!"

"YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE ALL THE MONEY!"

"YOU JUST WANT ME TO BUY PRODUCTS SO YOU CAN MAKE MONEY!"

We always politely write back, and wish them well in whatever they are going to do to make their money online.  Whether its working with someone else, or doing  it by themselves. 

Even if they have purchased some TripleClicks products, we don't make any outlandish promises of additional support, or plead with them to just keep going. You can lead a horse to cool pure water, but you can NOT make him drink it!

Our millionaire mentors has always stressed the importance of the 3 Ws of income building success through working with people in your downline...

"Work With the Willing!" 

They all say its better to build your business with this attitude in  mind:

"Some people you sponsor will do the work to  make steady progress with proper coaching, direction, and support.

Some will want you to do everything for them, and when you don't or stop doing it for them, they will quit anyway!

So what should your reaction be when someone quit?

NEXT!

Just like a millionaire making assembly line!"
