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.
“Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.”
-Peter F. Drucker
“You need to make a commitment, and once you make it, then life will give you some answers.”
-Les Brown
“There’s no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love. There is only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.”
-Wayne Dyer
“There are only two options regarding commitment. You’re either in or out. There’s no such thing as a life in-between.”
-Pat Riley
