Hi Gabriela,

Good question you have here. But I will like to agree with the saying that "leaders are not born but made". SFI is making leaders because of her well structured program which is designed for that purpose. Anyone who truly dedicates him/herself to SFI will surely become a leader not just in SFI alone but in any endeavor.

Having said that, let us look at some of the qualities of a leader.

1. Commitment

I have experience with in-person presentations, direct mail, trade shows, handing out biz cards, network at events, etc. Can offline marketing be as effective for my SFI business as online marketing?

Hi Ann,
I will to encourage to continue with your offline marketing only because you seem comfortable with it, but it is also a very effective part part your of SFI business.
I enjoy warm marketing a lot, most of my PSAs and PRMs have come from that area. Again it works very well when you are a leader of some sort or someone look up to.
All said, you should also try to combine with other online strategies to grow and expand your business in a very short time.

Hi Ali,

Nice question you have here because it makes you want to go back to the lessons again which serves as a refresher.

Now to your question, all the lessons are wonderful, but lesson #3 really caught my attention as a beginner. It really explain the type of life majority of people live, where one works and works and one day retirement comes and one finds that there is no finance to lean on.

I have seen it happen practically to people I know. They worked with very

Since SFI has been around for many years, is the playing field fair for someone who have just started in SFI like me?

Hi Junnel,
This is a great question because it is always in the mind of starters.
SFI provides a level playing field for all of its Affiliates. Just look at it this way:

1. Every new Affiliate starts with just 2 badges( Affiliate and TripleClicks member) and are given equal amount of FREE VPs (Getting Started, Daily, Intermediate, etc) to start with.

2. Everyone has the same access to the information we read everyday on SFI page, Ask SC, Forum etc.

3. The

It takes PATIENCE and PERSEVERANCE and mix them up with SELF BELIEF. Though it can be frustrating, you just have to carry on doing your business being fully persuaded that you will make it. This is where SELF BELIEF comes in.
Continue doing your daily, weekly and monthly SFI chores. Keep on advertising both online and offline.
Do everything and anything that will grow your business, and do all you can to succeed because your success will make your PSAs become active.
See you at the

In anything you do, it is best you apply the SWOT (Strength Weakness Opportunity Threats) analysis.
SFI did that on you already. Go back to your goals tab and click on "Edit Goals" to find out the areas that are best appealing and least appealing to you, the strategies that are best suited to you and so on.
If you successfully find that out, you will discover that is where you will naturally start from.
Gradually, you begin to discover other opportunities which you can easily

Hi Manuella,

Interesting question.
First, I regret not starting SFI when I was initially given the invitation. Many months passed before I started, and I still feel I had wasted time I would have used in building my business.

Second, not being able to be a fast tracker and getting the badge also, is something I would have loved to change if given the opportunity. Before I could know about it, it was already too late.

Third, is similar to the second. Not being

Which is better...doing two separate blogs about SFI and TripleClicks...or a single blog about BOTH?

Hello Chidinma,

Nice question!
Well, any style you use can be great. One blog can also be very effective depending on the creativity you put into your write up.

With one blog, you can do a good write that can generate for you, PRMs, PSAs, Wave3 members and so on. Just link your write up very well and you are there!

Simply put, it's all about your creativity.

Keep blogging brother!

Hi there,

What may thrill one person may not thrill the other. Hence, you have to study each person separately to know their individual needs.

Having said that, and based on my personal experience, the reason why I joined SFI is:

* It is FREE to join because I don't to put my hard earn money on something someone just introduced me to.

*Again the FREE TRAINING resources that will be available. I want to learn and know what I will be spending my time and
