How to make a business an Internet giant.
SFI came online in Feb. 1999. Starting with less than a thousand
members, it now has over 8,000,000 affiliates in 190 countries.
How did SFI achieve this? The life story of its founder holds a
clue.
Gery Carson was born in rural Nebraska and raised in a small
farming community of about a thousand people. His mother was the
school's kindergarten teacher, his father the town's postmaster.
Their home home was modest and he was taught the virtues of hard
work at an early age. As a boy, he delivered newspapers and ran
a lemonade stand to earn extra money.
Upon graduation from high school, Carson moved to the "big city"
of Lincoln, Nebraska where he attended college for a short time
and then found his first "real" job as a draftsman with a local
manufacturer. For over three years he dedicated himself to being
the best employee in the company, never missed a day of work,
and bent over backwards at every opportunity to help the company
prosper.
It hurt so much when the company turned around and "rewarded"
him with a demotion. It was at that moment that he decided he
was going to take control of his future. A few weeks later, in
January of 1985, his company, Carson Services, Inc. was born.
Perhaps inspired by his father's postal service career, Carson
Services, Inc. (CSI) started as and grew into a very successful
mail order company. A little over ten years later, CSI
discovered the revolution that was beginning to emerge called
The World Wide Web. In 1998, after building a foundation,the
Internet Division was dubbed the SFI Marketing Group and began
growing rapidly.
Unlike the myriad of false opportunities on the Internet,
Carson's company has experienced unprecedented growth by
emphasizing integrity . Affiliates are required to sign a no
spamming policy and they are rewarded for helping others.
Many people who are looking for an online business get
frustrated when they are asked to send money in order to find
out what the "opportunity" is all about. What a gamble!
Carson believes that people should be able to look a business
over before they commit to it. SF A new information center has
been established at www.i-fired-the-boss.com where prospective
business affiliates can review the program and join for Free!
Hard work and integrity have truly paid off for Gery Carson.
