How can being an SFI Affiliate change your life: A question that makes one to reflect on his own situation. I have written down some thoughts, and can give you an answer in one sentence: SFI GIVE PURPOSE TO YOUR LIFE.

When I decided to leave my full time job, I was not part of the community anymore. Worried about how I will support my family. After scrolling through many computer based home businesses, I found SFI. SFI gave me PURPOSE. (I had a job to do).

If I only have one hour a day to spend on SFI, what should I spend this limited time doing?

I believe 1 Hour per day is enough, except when you have to welcome new affiliates.

One day per week you have to take extra time to perform your weekly actions and to scrutiny your top movers list and genealogy….to see where you could give individual help to affiliates that do not ask for help, but you can get the idea that they are not making progress.

The best way to motivate your EA's to become Team leaders: I have read all the answers and although I agree that you must be motivational and I agree that you cannot "manipulate" your downline, I also have a total different view about this.

Contrary to the common believe that you can start boosting your earnings by the total of PSA's you have....I believe differently. IT IS YOUR CSA's that start building a solid Team. Why do I say this? All your CSA's have their owns SPONSORS

When should I start buying PSAs? I would say the following:

Once you have joined SFI and made the decision to take this business for what it is (A real business opportunity), you must start recruiting immediately, within your first week in SFI.
(Irrespective if you are recruiting friends, or if you buy Affiliates).

I do however recommend that you check out the SFI basics first, complete your “Immediate actions” on your “ TO DO” tab, and also complete the first

Hello

There is a very fine line between "helping" and "spoon feeding". Allow me to explain: HELPING = when your affiliate ask questions as:" How do I this....or what can I do to...". Spoonfeeding is when they require from you how to earn each VP, and questions like: "How do SFI work" or even better: "why do I need VersaPoints"????

This "spoonfeeders" wil take up your time, and you may even get them to EA Rank for

How can I best utilize my monthly Standing Order of TCredits?

The best way to utilize TCredits:

When I submitted this answer, less than 10 other people answered this question, and the trend in the answers are about the same: Explaining how you can use the points....and not the benefit. You paid for that TCredits, and therefore you must spend it at your own will.

I can tell you my thoughts and what I practice:

I am living in SOUTH AFRICA. If I buy TCredits individually they will cost me $1.99, that in South African RAND (ZAR)

What do you say to an affiliate who thinks that doing the daily 1 VP actions is a waste of time?

This is an excellent question that one gets to answer very often:
You answer them twofold:

1. Once your training points are all used up, how will you get at least 10 VP together to qualify you to enter the Daily Grand for the following day, if you do not have a standing order of at least 1500VP per month? Daily actions can earn you 12 VP a Day!

2. 12 VP per day is not much, but over one year it would give you 4380 VP in total. Can one really afford to lose this? (Especially

This is a great and important question to ask, because in the SFI "family" you can learn from other Affiliate's mistakes. This is what I have seen as epic failures:

1. If you sponsor Affiliates by purchase: Do not take on more that you can handle in one purchase. Every Affiliate may have a question that is different from the next. You will end up with many e-mails all at once, and to keep the affiliate interested in the business, you need to answer messages within a reasonable

This can be very frustrating and almost the opposite of "what do you do when your PSA's and CSA's are non-responsive".... It is sad but do not let this influence you in a negative way. You have other support:

1. Your Co-Sponsor. (I personally have a GREAT Co-Sponsor)
2. A2A Friends: Invite friends who is serious about SFI. You can check their badges and ranks. It is also helpful to be A2A friends with the top affiliates in your country. You will be surprised of

There is two answers to this question:

1. Have a standing order in place to achieve / maintain EA status. (125 TC is a good choice). Then you start your month working to BTL. You will not lose your CSA's if you maintain EA status, so there is one less thing to worry about.

2. Build your Team of PSA's: Every Affiliate that you sponsor, that achieve EA2 Status, will earn you 100VP. This will bring you closer to the next Rank, month after month. You can focus on the development
