Business opportunities for senior citizens at SFI!

Baby Boomers and senior citizens are living longer, healthier and more active lives. They look good, feel great and are unwilling to sit around twiddling their thumbs after they retire. They want to be productive and are quite willing and able to work. There are plenty of options out there: they can get part-time or full-time jobs in retail or they can become independent consultants or freelancers, depending on their experience and capabilities. But it's not only about being active or productive, it's about earning a second income to supplement their pensions and Social Security benefits which, in most cases, don't even begin to cover their expenses.

Are there business opportunities for senior citizens? 

Of course there are plenty of business opportunities, even though starting a new business can be quite daunting at any age. There are so many details to take care of, like finding the right location, upfront costs, rent, equipment, licenses, employees, salaries, social security, insurance, taxes, etc. That doesn't mean people shouldn't go for it, especially if it's been a life-long dream of theirs. If they can afford it, now that they have the time and energy to take the plunge, why not?

But what if money is tight?

If money is tight, perhaps an online business might be more suitable. A home-based online business means no upfront expenses, a few hours of work each day and, when the time is right, a minimum investment each month. That's what I'm doing and I am having a ball! If that sounds appealing to you, I recommend you join me at Strong Future International (SFI). 

SFI is a reputable online Affiliate/Marketing program that has been around for over 15 years, where anyone with an Internet connection and a computer can start their own business. More and more seniors are becoming computer savvy, like my dad and my friend Norman, who are both 92 years old, so not knowing how to use a computer should not be a deterrent at any age... that's what kids and grand-kids are for! They can teach you what you need to know in no time at all!

The good thing about SFI is that if you have prior experience with sales and network marketing, you will most likely be able to teach us young whippersnappers a thing or two! However, even if you have little to no prior experience in these fields (like me), the SFI system is structured to teach you how to start a successful online business from the comfort of your home. And it's the perfect time for it. Online businesses are taking off like never before and there is plenty of money to be made for those who learn how to work the system. 

I want to emphasize the word 'work' because that's what it takes. There is a lot of hype out there about ways to earn big money for a minimum amount of work, but we all know that "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". The older we get, the harder it is to pull the wool over our eyes. The hard truth is: there is no magic formula that instantly delivers cold hard cash. It takes work, perseverance and determination to succeed at any kind of business.

My experience at SFI has taught me that seniors are the very best candidates for an online business because not only do they bring years of experience to their businesses but also a strong work ethic. They understand the importance of discipline and good work habits and have the time and patience to read, learn and apply what they learn and then share that knowledge with others on their team so that they too can become successful. 

Seniors are also aware that in order to understand all the free business training SFI provides, it is important to repeat certain tasks every day until the information sinks in completely. This is something that the younger generations don't seem to grasp: they want instant gratification. Although some bright youngsters are becoming very successful at SFI, most lack the time, vision or patience to stick with it. They get bored or distracted, and quit before realizing what a golden opportunity this could turn out to be for them.

For those of us who are young at heart but too old to get a steady job that pays enough money to sustain us, SFI offers us the world on a silver platter. No frills, no pressure. Just interesting work, an awesome support system, and the opportunity to become independently wealthy.

My tenth week at SFI: the carrot without the stick

When I started out at SFI, I just followed directions without really understanding what I was doing and why I was doing it.

Once you've registered you are asked to fill out a questionnaire about why you want to earn an extra income; what you would do if you had money to spare; what your short, medium and long-term goals are. Since I wasn’t prepared for these types of questions, I simply put down anything that came to mind to get past the questionnaire and onto the site. I was curious and wanted to see what I was getting myself into.

After watching the SFI Basics video presentation they directed me to my home page to start working on my personal To-Do list. This is a list that awards points for each action you take. In less than an hour I had already made over 500 points, which got me onto the ‘Fast Track’ and earned me 200 extra points. By then I was motivated enough to continue because I was already half way to the next rank.

It's been 10 weeks and I've come to realize that there’s a method to their ‘madness’: I call it 'the carrot without the stick'. Those daily, weekly and monthly actions are basic business practices. SFI has cleverly devised ways for people with no business experience to acquire good work habits and discipline by rewarding them for doing everyday tasks. That way, they stay focused on building their businesses and are able to 'Earn while they Learn'.

Now that I have my own Affiliates, I've found that many don’t like to answer the questionnaire because they feel it’s an invasion of privacy. But it’s not. It’s a way for them to start focusing on “why” they decided to register in the first place.

Nevertheless, most of them just want to know “where is the money?” I answer them that this is not a get-rich-quick deal and that if they want to earn real money without putting a little elbow grease into it, this is definitely not for them.

Starting any business is hard work. At least this one doesn’t cost anything to set up, and there is no limit to the amount of money you can earn if you invest enough time and effort into reading all the training material they provide for free. But most important of all, unlike many other sites, they don’t pressure you to buy anything, they don’t bombard you with unsolicited mails, and they have really knowledgeable people willing to help you get ahead.

That’s all for now folks! See you next week.
