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.
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.
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."

"I used to say, 'things cost too much.' Then my teacher straightened me out on that by
saying, 'The problem isn't that things cost too much. The problems is that you can't
afford it.' That's when I finally understood that the problem wasn't it-–the problem was
me!"

On the contrary in fact, you've been
programmed your whole life to accept
mediocrity, to believe that conforming and
compromising is the way you go through life
and that real success is unachievable except
for the "privileged." Of course, people that
have become highly successful have learned
this is not true at all and they have broken out
of these artificial constraints...and so should
you!
