Not having goals is like getting into a car without knowing which direction to take or an air ticket without destination. If you want to know where you're going to get, you have to know which direction to take. Every business sets its goals in the short, medium and long term. If goals are not achieved, strategies must be changed. The important thing is that these goals must have dates and be realistic.

This is a good question but the problem is not only in SFI. In any MLM there are a lot of people (the most) who do nothing. I would recommend to be honest with your affiliates and to tell them that this is not a way of making quick money. It takes patience, but most of all perseverance and time will come to see the fruits. Keep in mind that for every 30 members, one is really going to do the business. Work with him and do not focus on the other 29. Let them go at their own pace.

Let me answer you with a nice story which I write to my affiliates and which will respond your question. The title of the story is : The Japanese Bamboo

Thought: Japanese Bamboo

You don´t have to be a farmer to know that a good harvest requires good seed, good fertilizer and watering.

It is also obvious that those who cultivate the land do not stand impatient in front of the sown seed and shouts with all his might: "Grow up, damn you!" ...

There is something very strange happening with the Japanese bamboo which makes it unsuitable for impatient farmers: You sow the seed, fertilize it, water it and take care of constantly. During the first months nothing appreciable happens. Actually nothing happens with the seed during the first seven years, to the point that a novice grower may be convinced that he bought infertile seeds.

However, during the seventh year in a period of just six weeks the bamboo plant grows over 30 meters! (100 feet) Did it take just six weeks to grow? No. The truth is that it took seven years and six weeks to develop. During the first seven years of apparent inactivity, this bamboo was generating a complex root system that would enable it to sustain the growth that would be after seven years.

However, in everyday life, many people try to find quick solutions, hasty triumphs without understanding that success is simply a result of internal growth and it takes time. Perhaps for the same impatience, many of those who aspire to short-term results, leave suddenly just when they were about to conquer the goal.

It is difficult to convince the impatient that only those who struggle in a persistent matter and wait the right time, achieve success. Similarly, it is necessary to understand that many times we face situations where we will believe that nothing is happening. And this can be extremely frustrating. At that moment (that we all have), remember the ripening of Japanese bamboo, and accept that if we don´t lower the arms nor abandon for not "seeing" the results we expect, there is something happening within us: we are growing, maturing.

Those who do not give up, will gradually and imperceptibly create habits and temper enabling them to sustain success when it finally materializes. The triumph is just a process that takes time and dedication. A process that requires learning new habits that forces us to discard others. A process that requires changes, formidable feats of action and patience.

This is a normal thinking for an employee mind. He must think that he is now a buisness owner and every buisness owner "outside" normaly has a lot of expenses before he get revenue. In our buisness there are no expenses and he should be happy to get some commisions. I started on august 18th and my first commision were $0.87 !!!. Even a baby takes 9 monthes to be born.
