This is difficult to explain at times, but those who understand are serious about having a successful business.

It is very important to understand that SFI is continually giving us new information on how to make our business successful. It is fortunate that SFI rewards with VP in order to learn things necessary to become financially independent.

Also with any business, it is very important to continually invest in it in order for it to grow. This is network marketing and

It is great to have a good sponsor, but I do not think that you should rely on them. Let me explain. In order to have a successful business you need to be self motivated. If you have questions, you can contact your sponsor, but there is also so many other means to get the answer.

I think it is to my advantage to get opinions of different individuals on how to solve a problem. SFI is awesome at this with your sponsor, co-sponsor, Forum, contacting SFI and even contacting Gery the

This is something that I looked into very in-depth myself. I know that it takes money to make money and I had about $500 dollars to spend. I have found that there are 3 things when it comes to the financial investment into your SFI business.

1. Buy 2 shares per month of the S-builder for at least 3 months. Longer is always better.
2. Setup a website with your own domain name
3. Go on a blogging site to tell people about your website in social media.

I would have to say no. There are different responsibilities as a team leader then when you are a EA2. In any business, it is vital that you know the business. I suggest to all my Affiliates to make sure to read over the information with all of the task. Go over the rules and the other information necessary in order to sustain a strong team. Then continue to study it.

A strong team consist on quality not quantity. You need very few active Affiliates to have a successful SFI team.

The best way to pay for things, if you are not able to use credit cards, is a Paypal accounts. I am not able to use credit cards since Triple Clicks does not accept credit cards from individuals in the Philippines. With my Paypal account I can purchase things on Triple Clicks, but also receive my commissions I earn from SFI.

If someone also has a bank account with a debit card with the logo Visa or Master Card they can also utilize it to make purchases on Triple Clicks.

There is the motivation of the VP that will be attained for the action, but there is something that is so much more important. In order for our business to be successful we need to know what is happening.

There are updates that happen in the tips areas and other parts of the daily actions, but there is also the messages that are received from SFI and the Affiliates upline that are crucial to there success.

Also, as they log in everyday, they will also see the success of other

I am glad you asked this, because my SFI journey reflects on this point. When I started, neither my Sponsor or Co-Sponsor contacted me at all. I tried asking questions, but did not get any response. I then contacted individuals further in my up-line and also SFI directly. Getting answers to my questions,I learned that SFI has an incredible support system.

It is very important for each of us to be great Sponsors and Co-Sponsors since you will have much better Affiliates, but I am

How do you motivate lazy and unmotivated affiliates?

I do not believe that there are lazy Affiliates, but unmotivated Affiliates, yes. To motivate your Affiliates that are not active is a delicate process. You want to make sure they understand what type of opportunity they are involved in, but you do not want to be a pest either.

There is a reason why they are not active and it is impossible to know what if they do not respond to your messages or emails. I usually do not bother the Affiliates that are not active. I focus on the ones

This is a valid question I had to ask myself, but I found I was asking the wrong question. I had to asked myself how bad do I really want to be financially independent. I found that to have a very productive SFI business that will progressively grow is about $51with SO orders. This is 100 TCredits for $29 and the S-Builders for $22 giving you 1480VP. I then looked at how much I spend on things I really did not need each month. I found so many things that would actually be beneficial if I no
