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.
