All of these are fantastic!

But they each have a different purpose.

If you need good, sound, solid business advice, invest in IAHBE.
If you want to grow your team numbers, invest in S-Builder.
If you want to go shopping at TripleClicks, participate in PriceBender Penny auctions, vote for a song in the Music of the Month competition, support and/or reward one of your team members, then buy TCredits.

Each of these are of enormous benefit!
Let your need drive your decision.

By the SFI system, your mentor should be your sponsor and/or co-sponsor.
But as we've learned recently at AskSC, not every sponsor is stepping up,
so if you're not hearing from your sponsor/co-sponsor weekly then ...


Leaders can spot committed/interested people.
SFI leaders know that in order to succeed they must help others.

So ...
If you need a mentor, then get yourself noticed.
How? By participating.

Make lots of a2a friends - particularly team leaders and your country's leading affiliates (I suggest you a2a-friend your country's top 10 affiliates).
Post regularly on the a2a-stream tab.
Respond positively to other people's stream-tab comments.
Participate at Forum.
Earn yourself badges.

Then,
Decide what sort of mentor you need:
- do you need help advertising?
- do you need help marketing?
- do you need help writing weekly emails?
- do you need help navigating your SFI webpage?
- do you need help navigating the TripleClicks webpage?
- do you need help winning an auction at TripleClicks?
- do you need help paying for things at TripleClicks? e.g. your credit card was declined

Once you understand your need, look for people with the answers.
For example,
- one of my upline is a PTL marketing genius! I look to him for help building my team.
- time & time again I see a PTL boasting in the achievements of his team. I look to follow his example.
- an STL a2a-friend always has answers for people. I got in touch with him about the E365 game.
- I wanted to become an ECA. I contacted a BTL ECA a2a-friend from my country and asked his advice.
- I needed true & correct information, so I emailed a BTL a2a-friend who’s an SFI moderator.
- I wanted to make SFI my income source for life. I looked to myself, made decisions and changed my habits.


Many hands make light work
Because,
TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More

The greatest challenge I had to face was doing it on my own.

When I first started,
- my co-sponsor emailed me to welcome me to the program, but I never heard from her after that
- my sponsor emailed me a couple of times, mainly to tell me she was too busy to do her SFI business.

I had to learn everything for myself - what the pages meant, what the phrases meant (things like PSA, CSA, standing order), what the To-Do List meant, how to work this, how to make sense of that ... I spent every waking moment of my first month trying desperately to make sense of the system. It was hard because I had no support, and no one to talk to.

How did I overcome it?
I was at an auction. I invested a lot of money in TCredits. I played an auction - it was hard and it was long. But I eventually beat the person I was in contention with, ... only to have one of SFI's 'top dogs' come in at the last minute and win it.
I was devastated!!!! $200+ wasted.

But I received a very warm, friendly and kind email from a stranger.
He held out the hand of friendship; he offered his condolences and his hearty congratulations at my valiant attempt.
I was so touched by his kindness that I kept in touch with him.
Guess what - he took me to PTL.

His kindness and support made the difference to my success. His name is Ahmed. A wise, generous and kind mentor; and a dear friend.

This is such a discussion point, because if truth be told, we all asked it.

My answer is, tell your own story.

The first time someone said to me, 'sounds like a pyramid and a scam', I had to google 'pyramid' and 'scam' to find out what they were.

A pyramid is where you get paid for signing people up, but you don't have to buy/sell any product. Well, that immediately put my mind at ease - selling products through TripleClicks is what we're paid to do.

A scam is where someone is trying to trick you out of your money. You should have heard me yell when I got my first SFI commission check/cheque. Bang! There you go - SFI was paying me, just like the website said they would. Totally squashed the scam theory!

I've told this story to everyone who asked (and everyone who didn't ;) )

And so I say, your personal story is the best story.
If you've received an SFI commission check/cheque, you have a story :)


Wishing everyone joyous and fruitful success!

I've been with SFI for over a year now and know the system well.
When I look back / in hindsight / I wish someone had told me:

New affiliates should spend their first month learning about SFI and TripleClicks:
* They should read every tab on their webpage
- the 1st time they should glance over it
- the 2nd time they should read it to read it
- the 3rd time they should read it to understand it
- the 4th time it should make sense

* They should continually email their sponsor and co-sponsor with all their questions

* They should make friends with a2a people
- read and post on the a2a stream tab to get to know people and to get known publicly
- email people personally to build relationships

* They should login daily and complete the tasks on their To-Do List tab
- it is vital that this becomes a habit

* They should have a look at TripleClicks
- play with the tabs
- maybe purchase something.


What I suggest they *Don't* do is

* tell their family and friends they've found an 'amazing opportunity'
- Why? Because they haven't been involved long enough to have all the answers to their many questions.
This is a biggie. I've seen untold people lose their warm market because they pitch too soon. Wait until 1) you know what you're talking about, and 2) you are convinced in the system.

* go on an auction
- it is very easy to lose a heap of TCredits in auctions. When you add them up, TCredits cost a lot of money. We don't want our newbies losing money in their first month - we want them being a success.

The best way for new people to be a success is to become an Executive Affiliate.
How? By completing their Getting Started Actions, Intermediate Actions and To-Do List. This is more than enough to begin with.

My advice: spend the first month getting to know your business and your website.
Having a good knowledge of these will stand you in good stead for the work that is ahead of you.

This is such a good question! Something I'm sure most of us have had to consider. Here then are some of my thoughts:

We are always older in SFI than our PSAs, no matter how long after us they sign-up.

The worry that a PSA might ask a question we don't know the answer to
- let that motivate us to learn quickly but thoroughly
- let that motivate us to be super familiar with our SFI and TripleClicks webpages
- let that motivate us to wisely time when to start building our team

You don't need to know all the answers, you need to know where to find them ;)

125TCredits costs $36.25. TCredits allow you to go shopping at TripleClicks - including on the PriceBender Penny Auctions.

IAHBE monthly membership costs $32.95. IAHBE provides you with everything you need to become a successful business wo/man - advice, templates, webinars, etc.

Both of these are worth 1500VersaPoints - the exact amount your need to be EA2.
At less than $10 a week, this is money exceptionally well spent!`

There are ways you can swallow this $10 into your budget.
1) drop your electricity bill: turn all your powerpoints off when they're not in use; watch tv with the lights off; watch less tv; close your curtains earlier to conserve heat & postpone heater use; fix dripping taps
2) drop your petrol bill: restrict your vehicle use - get everything done in the one trip; walk/cycle/catch the bus or train; ride a horse/camel/donkey/elephant
3) drop your food bill: eat cheaper food - e.g. veges instead of meat, or sausages instead of lamb, or rice/pasta instead of potatoes; eat less takeouts/McDs; make your own lunch instead of buying it; have porridge in the morning
4) party less: drink less alcohol, smoke less, socialise less and/or differently

Remember, there will come a day when your SFI business is paying for itself. Until then, Aim High, Dream Big, and Invest Cleverly.
... And then let us know through the Stream tab that you've made it. We'll all be cheering!! :)

I think of TCredits as 'chits'.

You need a chit to bid on an auction - 1 chit per bid.
Some products you can buy with chits, e.g. buy 'The Art of Drawing Animals' for a dollar ($1) or 7 chits (7 TCredits).
If you want to sell stuff on your TConnect page, it costs 1 chit to load an item onto it.


This explanation works because people recognise the word 'chit'.
They know a chit is like a receipt, a token, a coupon, a voucher, etc.
And they know that you buy a chit, and then use the chit to redeem a product.

Then you simply say, "it's how the SFI system works", and smile.

The difference is in application.

Some people apply themselves more than others:
- they read more often - for understanding, explanation, clarification, interest, etc.
- they look for avenues / openings
- they contact people - talk, use fliers, adverts in newspapers, email, facebook, twitter, paradox, etc.

For some people, it's just their time.
Some of us have spent years looking for/hoping for a break in life. For us, SFI is it. We know what it is to have struggled, gone without, missed out, etc. We can see that all you need to make SFI work is *time, internet connection, the desire to help others, and a small financial investment*.

It is true that for some, the interest just isn't there.
But for others it's a matter of circumstances. Some have no internet, others no time, others no money to spare.
The hope/joy is, when their breakthrough comes, SFI will be here with open arms.

**Incidentally, you can't become successful in SFI in just weeks.
It takes a minimum of 2 months to become EA2; longer to become an established Team Leader; longer still to build a team of EA2s. When you see our Platinum Team Leaders saying, "don't give up", they mean it literally; financial breakthrough in SFI takes time - but at our age, what's a couple of years?!
