You can point out to them that while their SFI business does not have a physical store with employees, electric bills, supply issues, etc., it still takes time to build a successful, profitable business! Have you ever seen a new business that does not have the owner visible all over the place? Ask that person how close they came to quitting when they first opened their doors!! Patience and faith in themselves and their goals is what gets everybody through the tough times until the success begins to come:)

If he hangs in through the thin times, he will be doubly grateful when the thick times come!!:))...
