Leading by example is the best way to show your affiliates how to grow their business. By having your own standing order, your affiliates will look to you for guidance. If you have the standing orders that you recommend on your leadership page, they will turn to you as an example. One of the things I like to stress is the S-Builder Co-Op, not only because it is very affordable, but it will help them see their business growing in two different ways: new affiliate sign ups PLUS growing VP balance.

I think there are several reasons people join and then do nothing. First, We are in a microwave society and constantly bombarded with the get rich quick programs. You know the one....make 30K in 30 days! When people join these, they expect instant results. When they don't get those instant results, they move on to something they think will solve their problems today.

I think some who join SFI expect to be making money IMMEDIATELY and have no idea of what it takes to actually build and maintain a business! I compare an "instant money businesses" to a lottery..they are incredibly lucky if it works, and not easy to duplicate those results in the future.

SFI offers so many tools that if an affiliate will simply take advantage of the opportunity, they can be successful. Learning one thing, getting good at it, and then moving to the next gives a powerful resource for their SFI business to grow over time.

When first reaching out to new affiliates, I let them know that if they are looking for a business that will sustain them for the future, SFI is their answer, but they need to treat it as a business instead of a game they are playing by devoting specific amounts of time and effort each day. I let them know that if they will get to know this business, and then help others succeed, they will create an even stronger business for themselves.

Finally, I always remember that you can't push a rope. Meaning, if someone really wants something, we can help pull them along, but we can't PUSH them into it. If they have to be pushed, you'll be out of breath and they'll be fighting you the entire way. Better to have others who need to be pulled along a bit, and who are actually making you stronger as a result.

Although I am really new to SFI, I followed the lead of my sponsor. I immediately contact them and welcome them, saying I am excited to be their sponsor and that I am here to help them succeed. I do tell them that SFI has so many tools available, that for the first week or two, simply log in, do their to do list, and learn all they can so they don't get overwhelmed.

1. GOAL - it's hard to get where you want to be, if you don't know where that is! I think too many people set a goal of "I just want to make money". However, if you say I want to make 100 in my first month, $500 by my third month...and build each month until I am making 5,000 by the end of the first year" that is a definitive goal and can be broken down into specific actions and results that can be measured on a consistent basis. If you have daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals, it is easier to track your progress and make adjustments if you get off track. Setting goals that are difficult, but possible to reach will help you be motivated each day. Goals that are too low will not give you enough of a challenge to really stretch your capabilities.

2. KNOWLEDGE - make it your mission to learn each and every facet of SFI, and all the tools that are available to you. Get in contact with your up-line (they already have success and can help you become more effective). Learn from others who are successful by reading posts, and respond to them as well. In the training section, look at the Internet Income and read and soak in all of those modules. This is excellent training that you should take advantage of. Anywhere else, you would be charged thousands of dollars for this very same education!

3. PERSISTENT ACTION - Tony Robbins teaches that you can have all the goals and desire and knowledge in the world, but if you don't take massive ACTION, and do it persistently, you will never reach those goals. Action can be doing all your tasks each and every day, marketing each and every day, learning more about this business and other marketing skills each and every day. Don't let yourself be stopped by failures. Some of the most successful people ever suffered defeat after defeat after defeat but they PERSISTED and kept taking ACTION
