Hi Diana
This is an age old question with any developing business. We need to be stressing to our PSAs that they must see SFI as their own long term business and to have a business you need to invest time and money, especially in the early stages.
If they look at a new business opening in a regular shopping environment, (a mall or even town centre), there are a number of financial overheads that must be in place before you start selling - rent, insurance, stock, equipment, display facilities, staff, transport, heat, light, water...... the list goes on. You are lucky if you start to break even after three years in business.
Now consider your SFI business. You sign up free and are provided with an excellent training and support system free. You can market your products to the whole world at a very low cost and can purchase items at a good price too. You have the opportunity to try a variety of ways of working and increasing your income without any great financial outlay or risk. By regularly putting a small amount of money into your SFI business from the start you will gradually see your income grow.
Personally, after the first six months of purchasing 125 Tcredits on standing order using my own money, I found that I was able to use my commission to pay for it. Hopefully over time I will also have additional residual income which will grow month on month, but at the moment I am happy to have this as a long term activity.
Basically - SFI is not a 'get rich quick scheme' but a real long term business opportunity.
