Duplication is very important, in my opinion, because it is difficult to do everything all by yourself.

We need leverage, which means that we need the help of a whole team of workers to get the job done to be successful.

We need to be able to communicate what we do to become successful, so that everyone can also be successful on our team...by communicating we can create duplication and help our entire team grow into a strong income producing team.

The answer to this question all depends on how you define success. The fact that you are part of SFI and have been a member so long makes you a success story, already!

There are some people that will never be able to be self-employed, because they do not even know about SFI. However, YOU do know all about SFI.

Ask yourself why you are a member of SFI? What attracted you to start your own journey in SFI? Share your story with others. Do not tell them because you wish them

On their ECA page, there is a place that says "Submit Suggestions" ask them for items you wish for them to carry.

Find out what country they are in, and send them new ECA's in their country to connect with. Often, if there are a few ECA's in their country that are active, and they are connected to them, this will inspire them to become more active, too.

Offer them information on how to become a LocalPay Store, they will have something to look forward to getting once

The best way to do this is through the products SFI has at TripleClicks.

Find what products are currently being purchased in the household...vitamins, dish detergent, carpet cleaners, floor cleaners, etc.

Find the comparable items in TripleClicks, and begin printing flyers with ingredients for SFI...because, these products, unlike store brands, are more eco-friendly, provide more content such as a higher percentage than the recommended amounts of vitamin and mineral content

If they have no money, I recommend the TripleClicks Membership...they can sell things for extra money. If they have no things of their own to sell, they may refer others to listings to sellers pages. They make a percentage of the sales if they were sent there by someone and it results in a sale.

Also, if they are under-employed or unemployed, as long as they have a car, they may use the sticker and advertise for the company, and have a chance to win cash and prizes.

When faced with negativity in promoting SFI, how do you respond and what path do you take moving forward?

RE: Moving forward, turning negative into positive

First, treat SFI like any other company with a customer service complaint. Handle the complaint. What is causing their negative feelings toward SFI? Have they EVER been a member of SFI, before? Did they know SFI is listed with the Better Business Bureau? Do they know SFI is FREE and does not even require ANY start-up-costs, like some companies do? Do they know they can earn while they learn? Know all the pros and cons about SFI.

Here is a great place to leave your SFI goals frequently, I usually check my goals, daily to see they are being accomplished:

Start by writting a list of all your bills, currently. See how much you will need to pay all your bills each month. This would be your minimum goals to want to earn enough to pay all your bills, each month.

After you see that you can pay all your bills, you may wish to earn a little more so that you may save

How do I get my downline to focus on duplication? How do I explain the importance of duplication to them?

It is often more difficult to "explain" the importance of duplication, rather than "showing" them its importance.

It is very important that your 'actions" are speaking better than your 'words'.

However, when your actions AND your explainations are the same, this even makes you a stronger leader, because you are able to lead by example, and also offer advice.

Make sure you have an open line of communication with all so they not only can

There are people that are more ambitious than others. They take the time to read 30 days of LaunchPad, and ask questions if they do not understand things.

They do things quicker, not necessarily because of who their sponsor is, or who they know, but because of what they know, and have taken the time to research and learn about.

They look at the leader board, and make friends with all the leaders, not just from their country, but from other's countries. It helps to be multilingual,

How do you handle being rejected over and over again when presenting the SFI opportunity to others?

If you are offering the SFI opportunity to OTHERS, then rejection should not happen over and over...

Different people do not actually act exactly the same as all the rest that have rejected you in the past.

Are you sure you are not approching the same people and getting rejected over and over by the same people?

If someone is not interested, and you show them the SFI opportunity, again, they will not always become interested.

Maybe a better question is
