The most important element in being successful in SFI is to understand the importance of timing of all action. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) is providing information in the proper order and in the proper dosage. It is good to KNOW about the duplication process but so much better if you demonstrate it.

DAY 1---Executive Affiliate (EA--1500 AVP) is an appropriate MONTHLY Goal for the new PSA. But as Sponsor, it is important to inform the PSA of an immediate goal--a FastTrack BONUS of 200

Unfortunately, answers to this question will probably be misleading because the majority of those answers will be from a small sampling of affiliates. Shall I take my limited number of affiliates and conclude for others, that Ireland, Nigeria, Egypt, India and the Philipines are where my best Affiliates come from? They could be the best or the worst locations to come from. None came from the United States or England, or France.

SFI might answer this question the best for us. Of the 1,600,000

Every one of the 30 LaunchPad Lessons are good. Some are more apropos at different times. But I like #11. Why because it gives the beginner a true picture of how there is more worth here than the QUICK INCOME

Success with SFI CAN BE SUCCESSFUL without investing any original investment of money if what you lack in money can be gained by substitution of a well conceived game plan taking that plank into account. What does "being successful" mean to the individual-- a residual monthly income to provide for an above average lifestyle allowing for limited application of effort needed to maintain or even increase the family's standard of living?
That plan will likely perceive what constitutes

Personally, I hate canned email from autoresponders. However, well writtnen emails with application of a personal touch certainly has merit. It is far more likely to have a personal response.

Having a stored personal introduction and ending can accomplish the personal aspect very well. Finally, do a comparison test between SFI prepared message and your own short personal message and see if the results differ. Certainly, prompt. to the point,
personal concern will always return the

Leading by example should be primary is guiding newbies. A leader needs to be sure HE is leading correctly. Sometimes we give answers that do no reflect what we actually do.
The Bible speaks about "Blind leaders leading the blind." Of course, that is referring
to people who think they know the WAY when they do not. It applies to business as well.
Some use money to gain position. "Them that HAS. GETS!" philosophy. Unfortunately, these leaders are not ones that are

It is tempting to never give up on people. The time you are spending on unmotivated people could easily be much better spent on people who see value. I don't mean to throw them on the trash heap. After a week of not answering your emails or logging in to SFI, put them on the backburner. Contact them only when you have nothing better to do (every six weeks, for instance). Get on with the many who are legitimate people who show commitment. Help those who appreciate help. If they show commitment by

It would be nice if there was a simple answer to how to motivate your downline--But setting an example of honesty, work ethic, and a sincere desire to make them succeed will move mountains of disappointments they have experienced on the Internet.

I believe in giving various gifts or rewards--but one must be careful not to buy their loyalty or drive. The main principle within the Bible is "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU" which translates into action of "Loving

For most new affiliates, it is difficult to believe that they can be #1 in their class at the end of the 365th day. It doesn't matter that it's free. Winners of races often take a strong initial lead---place them high above the green line--then, it is easy to keep the lead and improve it. Be willing to do for yourself what MOST WILL NOT DO. My class has dropped from 2236 down to a steady competitive 41. Now, I have real competition. I am #3 but I have a lot of work to do to become #2, and much more

Obviously, bid on an item that you NEED, and WANT, and are WILLING TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR.
Begin bidding tentatively at the price most people are quitting. Even the autobidders are not going to set unreasonable limits. Lastly, spend only ten percent of your planned bid price when you begin. You must play close attention when you are getting bids every ten seconds or you will be timed out. Make sure your computer isn't acting up when bidding is vital.
