I would recommend,'Business Ideas you can turn into cash' by Luis S.R Vas. The book contains advice from knowledgeable individuals from different kinds of fields with a record of significant achievements in their own businesses. Some started off with little cash and some without the faintest clue.

Apparently ideas and income can be created if you have the enthusiasm to take advantage of your abilities. You may think you have no abilities, but many people who started thriving businesses

Many people who join SFI do so because they desire or expect to make some money from the business, and rightly so. However, when push comes to shove, they soon are confronted with the stark reality that their aspirations or expectations do not materialise that
quickly. For some, this makes them work even harder in order to realise their dream but for others this is like a blow and it becomes difficult for them to come to terms with this reality. It could be the person may be facing financial

There are endless possibilities for this one Reema, however I like this particular one-liner;

'Forget about the rest, because you've just met the best!'

Of course you would need to back it up with a few facts too! And by the way there are many reasons and advantages you can mention about the benefits of starting an SFI Business - the first and obvious one is that it's free. I hope this helps.

If you had to start over with SFI, having the knowledge and tools you have now that you didn't have before, what would you do differently?

Isaiah,

I like this question and wish it were somehow possible to rewind whilst still retaining the knowledge I have acquired thus far regarding the SFI Business. If I were to start over at SFI, the first thing I would do is avoid joining in the middle of the month. I say this because during my first month in SFI, I managed to attain the rank of GTL, meaning that if I had timed this correctly, I definitely would have hit Platinum (PTL) before the end of my first month.I would make sure

Eddy,

I reckon this is probably one of the most important questions for all SFI affiliates. Moreover there are quite a number of qualities that will assist in our development and success in SFI. I will offer a few and describe them briefly in the ensuing text. I have chosen the following;

*willingness/eagernes to learn
*analytical
*flexibility
*competitiveness
*good communication skills
*mentoring/duplication

In reality,

How should you advise your downline--who have never run a business before--how to proceed with advertising?

First of all, they would need to bear in mind that people don't like ads until they see something they like, want or need. It is thus important to understand the target audience's wants, needs and desires. These days almost everyone uses a computer, therefore it is relatively easy to engage consumers through using social media, electronic mail and websites. For instance advertising on Facebook can be cheap and effective as it can give you instant access to a large audience. I would also recommend

When communicating with my downline, is it best to use the SFI email utility or my own email? What is the most effective?

I tend to use both. I don't think there are any hard and fast rules. However I foresee a situation where I will rely more on the group mailer as my downline grows. This should help manage my time more effectively.

Why does it seem like everyone who joins SFI think it's get-rich-quick?

Perhaps this is because you can actually make a substantial income in a relatively small space of time! However, a reality check is in order because people have different abilities, aptitudes as well as varying business acumen, marketing techniques etc.

Unfortunately SFI does not permit its affiliates to discuss actual commission figures and therefore we cannot compare notes in that respect. What I can say though is that SFI does reward generously for tangible efforts... ;)

What do you feel are the 3 biggest keys to success with SFI?

FOCUS,COMMITMENT & building a sound KNOWLEDGE BASE. All these three equate to hard work & HARD WORK = REAL MONEY.

I know I should work with the workers, but how many follow-up messages should I send to inactive CSAs/PSAs before giving up on them?
