Life in general is made up of positives and negatives. Consider this' there's optimism and pessimisn, pros and cons,fear and courage, day and night,light and dark,good and evil,sweet and sour etc. One would be meaningless without the other.Some will win while others are loosing in the game of life. The world is not perfect and things will not always work according to your plans and expectations. Thats why goals can be adjusted and U-Turns are permitted.
Consequently if there was never a thing as rejection no one would know acceptance, and if there was never failure what would success be? My point is this "negativity is normal" The real problem is how it's dealt with.

Now as I attempt to analyse and respond to the inquiry, I will awake you to the fact that "NO" does not always mean "NO". Sometimes "NO" can mean not now, I'm not ready,I'm not looking because I'm pretty solid financially. However should there be company down sizing, or lay-offs or some unforeseen event, every thing changes. Again the emotions experienced from an opposite negative reaction was not directed at you personally. It's was against the opportunity or invitation to action that's been brought under fire or is been resisted.In our arena of business you must have the Rhino mentality.... tough skin. He only uses the horn when engaged in combat.

On the other hand people have a fear the unknown. The negative reaction may be the result of a bad experience. There are genuine and legitimate companies like SFI and there are ponzee schemes resulting in multiplied billions been fraudulently taken from unsuspecting victims. Besides, why should anyone opt into your business opportunity? Is it because they sre family, or because friends do what friends do? Much less a total stranger!Rejection from your warm market and cold calling is a fact of business. The fact is some will, some won't .... Gerry.If every person was after the same things in life there would added chaos, because the demand would be more than the supply.

Now it's time to move forward and this poses a challenge to many.Nevertheless it's not inevitable or problematic as as one may be prone to think. Here's the antidote for the venom of negativity.

1.Have a "why" or "reason" for doing what you're doing. Is it to live the life that you dreab of, financial freedom, spending time with your family, getting up when you're finish sleeping, or fishing on a Monday?

2.Set your goals with the expected time for accomplishment. You must set you sails to capture the wind.Zig Zigler.

3.Use all available means necessary.Let no one define who you are.If you don't beleive what you know to be true about you you will beleive what soneone else says.Don't let America or anyone determine that you're an idol.Don't let the analyst, the media or the fans tell you who you are. Now keep your head erect , square your shoulders and put some spring in your steps. Warm Regards..

Well, it's quite normal face negativity when we work with people. That's the thing shouldn't you worry about. Generally, you should avoid negative people. Not just in the business.

Negative people will always stay negative. No matter how much effort you will do to steer them on the right path and no matter how much positive you are, they will always find a new way to stay focused on negativity.

If you stuck with them, you're on the best way to become a negative person like them.
Don't even bother trying to convince them that SFI is great company, stay away from them and do not reply to their negativity comments.

If you start to reply and try to explain, you will fall in their trap and it's going to be very difficult for you to get out of that trap.

Just think about the time ... How much time you are going to lose bothering yourself with those negative people?

Instead, simply ignore them and steer your focus on positive people who really want to work and might actually need your help.

They will be more than happy to have you as a Team Leader and will follow your lead all the way on the road to success.

Wish you all the best.

I love this question just because I try to apply positive energy and positive thinking everyday into my life.

If a negativity comes along, I do my best to turn things around. Meditation usually helps me bring back the good energy.

In regards to thinking positive for SFI, I always think the big picture of it. Without applying these positive thoughts, you will end up giving up on your business with SFI.

Yes! There's a lot of challenges along the way but you will overcome them in the end. So don't ever give up! you have the control of what you want to happen in your future. If you don't take any actions nothing will happen to you. Remember that everything is not given to you by God, He simply leads you there and it's totally up to you how to take care or it and how you can move forward into success.

I hope that this helps you answer your questions.... Just keep thinking positive and never give up. that is the key to success.

Believe in myself. Believe in SFI. Ignore those who try to discourage me. Don't give up and don't give in. My life is always right here, right now. I must seize it! I chose to let each of my experiences today with SFI be a gateway to an even brighter tomorrow.

I'll make sure I always feel motivated to succeed in SFI:

1. I set a goal and visualize it down to the most minute detail. Always refer to the goal tab on my SFI homepage to remind myself of what I want to accomplish.

2. Make a list of the reasons I want to accomplish the goal.

3. Break the goal down into smaller pieces and set intermediary targets and rewards. This is what highly recommended by SFI which we need to determine our goals every single month.

4. Have a strategy, but be prepared to change course. Selling T-credit, refer ECA, sponsoring an affiliates, blogging and etc. I am free to choose which one works best for me and work on it.

5. Get the help I need. Refer to my sponsor or my upline team leader, refer to forum or ask SC answers, or SFI support if I require any help.

Here are some ASK SC threads that deal with staying motivated/inspired:

1) Negativity coming from family or friends: http://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=ask_sc_question&id=957
2) SFI is unique

Realize that we all must face negativity. It's everywhere. It's so engrained in human nature. However, we must understand the potential we have in life and who we really are. This goes for everything in life, in your faith and everything else, for your faith is the root of everything else. People have been hurt so much with bad experiences and have been taught negative things by parents and teachers and others; and many people have low self-esteem and an inferiority complex. When you know the truth about yourself and your relationship to God and others, you learn how to become positive in every situation and learn how to treat kindly those who only can speak things that try to pull you down. What you do is love them, treat them with kindness, forgive them and move on to those who will work with you. Don't let anyone keep you back. Be persistent in your work and keep moving. Someone else will hear what you have to say and will be enthusiastic and join with you. The ones that I call, "kill joys," must be left behind. Just remember that some will, some won't. So what? Someone's waiting. Who's next?

Have a great time working in SFI! Keep moving and striving for your greatest potential. You can and will succeed. I believe in you.

Hello,

You have 2 thing to do:

1- In this case , smile is the first the thing to do. Most of the time people have been dissapointed in many business on Internet so they conclude that there is nothing serious on Internet. So your "smile " surprise them and will show them that you are convinced that your business is the best.

2- Show to your interlocutor SFI is online since 1998 and if SFI was not a serious business this would not be possible.

3- Show to them, the "growth" page in your backoffice or tell them everyday, more than 3000 to 4000 persons join SFI.

And conclude that Serious person dicover SFI and keep SFI as their serious business.
Obviously, if your interlocutor is serious, he/she will ask you more about this business then you will tell him /her that the best way to understand SFI is to register first. So use your SFI Affiliate link to register him as your PSA.

This works 90%.

Courage !

Hello Cyndi
I spend lot of my time explaining to others this buisness is not about getting rich quick, many companies out there are telling people to join just to take your money and give nothing back.

I always use the frase "easy comes easy goes" if you are not ready to put effort into this then you are not ready to make money online so simple is that.

This company is 15 years old and is paying out alot of money every month so just join the fun

Just don´t spend time dealing with those people because the world has 7 billion people and you just have to find five that find 5 and so on good luck.

I'm not sure if this response has been submitted because I haven't read the other responses so it's not my intention if my answer is like the answers of other people. Anyway, you are bound to come up against negativity and blocks if you will from people who are skeptical of SFI and probably because they may have had bad experiences in the past or they might mistakenly assume this is some pyramid scam .. there is a huge difference between a pyramid scam and a multi-level marketing business. It's a good idea to learn how to explain the difference between the two and if the other person is open minded with what SFI has to offer they may consider what you have to say with regards to the difference. I mean, they both look somewhat alike but there is a subtle difference. Basically, if somebody is going to respond negatively to what you have to say about SFI then they'd probably not be a good affiliate to begin with. They probably look for get rich quick and when they realize this actually takes work then they'll probably easily give up and say it's not worth it... but the problem is rather with their mind set. To be successful at SFI you really should have an entrepreneurial mind set and be creative with your marketing. Find your strengths, start with your strengths, and then as you slowly get started with your strengths improve on your weaker areas. Usually if you encounter negative responses, these people will respond better once you actually prove that you're actually developing a legitimate business.

Some people say:
seeing is believing

Such people who have the mind set of seeing is believing will usually be skeptical, negative, and try to find something wrong even if the only thing they can come up with is "not enough time" ... well, if they see your business a couple of years from now and you're successfully earning $1000 every month, you've established for yourself a good secondary income. Seeing is believing to these people, if they see your success they might get inspired towards researching SFI just a little bit more.

Other people say:
believing is seeing

Such people have an entrepreneurial mind set and are probably the people you want to first invest in. It's easier to invest in those who are self motivating, creative, entrepreneurial/business like then it is for those who are not self motivating and creative.

You will win some and you will lose some. Some people will listen to you and others will not. If they don't listen and don't want to hear about anything you have to say then just move forward. Know that it takes time to build a successful business through SFI. Know that you will at times be discouraged because of the amount of people that will just not respond at all or negatively respond. But you keep moving on and eventually, sooner or later you will hit a gold mind and just maybe those who have responded negatively will have a change of heart once they see your success. But just know that the majority of people you encounter will respond negatively. If you expect that the majority of those you encounter will respond negatively it's a lot easier to just move on to the next person. Don't waste your time on those who are negative. Perhaps you will also find learning experiences with each encounter. Take it as a learning experience because one way that works to reaching one person may not necessarily be the way too approach another.

Hope that helps :)

No matter what business you are in there is always negativity. Never let anything or anyone get in your way of become a successful person. Honestly the only person who can prevent you from becoming successful is yourself.

Don’t be disappointed by those who won’t help you…remember the words of Einstein:
“I am thankful for those who said no, because of them I did it myself.”

There will always be that one person who will step forward out of all the negativity from others to give it a try. If you can get at least 1 person out of 100 to listen to you promote your business then that is good. Sometimes all it takes is 1 person to change people's minds.

Do not give up! Just move on to the next person until they listen to you. Remember YOU are that 1 person that gave your Sponsor the time.

I do a lot of free postings online and I also go to colleges in my area and my surrounding towns to post up flyers. Another great thing to do is to also check with your local stores to see if they will allow you to post up flyers there too. SFI made some flyers that are sure to get people's attention.

Just do not give up and keep on posting up ads online for free and keep posting up flyers in your area. Someone will answer to your ads. Just be patient. It will all soon pay off.

This is a fairly simple answer.

You respond with conviction favorably to SFI and you give your reasons why feel positive.

Don't bother fighting negativity as its counter productive. Bad karma. By showing your confidence and not embracing the negativity, you already have won.

Bottom line...... You can't impress everyone and everything. There will always be opponents and negative thinkers. These people will always be this way and they are this way because they likely tried and failed or never tried at all.

The path you take is say your piece and move on with your routine and let the pessimists remain pessimists and you, the optimist, stay focused and persistent and your success will squash the negativity in due process.

Good luck.
