You should never offer financial help.
This may sound cold and callused but the task in this business is to empower business leaders, not to take on dependents. You can advise people on methods to grow their results and earn money to expand their business but don't be the one who feels a need to butter their biscuit.
I see entirely too many members at SFI who devote their focus to helping people spend the least possible, do the minimum, and expect the maximum return. I understand being a broke marketer but operating in that broke mindset did nothing to grow my business. Flat out if I continued doing the minimum and investing little or nothing I would be a broke marketer still today and I would have quit 10 years ago instead of owning over a dozen websites.
I had to develop a mindset that said I can do this to earn that.
I had to look at that small money and say yesterday I survived without it so if I do what I did yesterday I can invest what I have today and get even better results tomorrow. I had to stay broke to grow my business into a full time income and I have personally fired the boss 3 times. In fact I can safely say 90% of my earnings are from the results of building my online business on elbow grease and a shoe string budget, but no handouts.
Instead I found good people, like SFI in my first time around and a millionaire marketer named Cory Rudl who took me under his wing and showed me how he went from no budget to millionaire. Sad to say I have been my own worst enemy at times and caused myself to have to rebuild and revamp, then reinvent myself before many of those lessons sunk in but I will tell you the education has served me far better than anyone could have done by giving me a shortcut. I know, I had a few free memberships given to me for paid programs and they never got half the effort those programs deserved because I was not invested in my success.
So please, be the friend, support the soul, educate the mind, but don't pay the bill.
