Today I like to quote SFI President Gery Carson, who in 25 years has built a huge online business that is growing internationally at very high speed, e.g. 601 Total new sign-ups yesterday from 61 countries! And not only yesterday but actually every day year around. This is what he tells me:
“YOu make it happen, no one else.
Not only is this a key rule in SFI, but I consider this to be amongst THE most important lessons in life. NO ONE ELSE can make you successful. It’s all up to you. YOU are the “master of your destiny” and responsible for your own success. Period.
Conversely, there’s not anyone or anything that will make you a failure. It does no good to blame the economy, your education, or whatever bad breaks you’ve had in your life. Doing so means taking on a victim’s mentality. DON’T EVER DO THIS. I can guarantee you that many thousands of people have succeeded despite having it much worse, so don’t make excuses and don’t convince yourself that you’re somehow a victim.
And the grass isn’t any greener on the other side either. You have now (or can acquire) everything you need to be successful. Just remember that it’s up to you and nobody else. Then go out and do it.
So…it’s not your sponsor. It’s not your upline. It’s not the economy. It’s not the government. It’s not the compensation plan. It’s not any of these things or any other obstacles perceived to be in your way. If you want to become successful, you can go around the obstacles, go over, go under, or go right through them. Success is yours if you want it, but ONLY YOU control this. Always remember: “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.”

Who is Gery? This is his story in short told by himself.
“Now, for those who might be thinking, “well, that’s easy for you to say, Gery!”…the fact is, I’ve achieved what most people would say is extraordinary success, but it was not handed to me, not by any stretch. I come from a very small Nebraska town and very humble beginnings. When I started in business I had no business education, no experience, and no money to invest. And it took four long years (the first two moonlighting into the wee hours of the night while holding down a full-time job), before I ever saw a profit. I had no mentors, no great upline leaders or sponsors to guide me, nor any wealthy relatives to come to my aid. But I decided I was going to become successful and I did. And I’ve put in the work every day for nearly 25 years now to stay successful.”
