In order to see the big picture, you have to take a step back and plan for the future. The end of the road for me will be a retirement on my terms, and this means that I have to make my income last for the rest of my life. SFI is part of my plan because I can see the potential for making my plans a reality.
Just like planting a seed for an apple tree, we have to exercise patience with growing a successful business, and it begins with setting goals every month. Don't just use the goals tab for gaining a daily versa point, use it as a challenge for you to step it up. Be realistic and set goals that you can make with a little hard work. Once you get to the next level, set another goal to keep moving forward.
Along with the goals tab on the home page, I made a personal monthly goal to spend only what I earn in commission from the previous month. I was doing great with that until a couple of months ago when I lost a couple of active CSA/PSAs, but I am working my way back to that point. Once you get to the point of spending only what you made the previous month, you can start working on operating at a profit.
Overall, make sure you stay positive because even with setbacks, making progress towards a goal is better than having to start from the beginning.
