That’s what a teams does, working together for the benefit of everyone in the team. So how do we do it?
It must start with the team leader. The team leader must lead by example. The leader must INSPIRE the team to achieve new heights. They must set the standard that they want the team to follow and duplicate.
Your badges are a great example of the work YOU are doing so don’t expect your team to do things you won’t, so as I said before lead by example.
Get the team excited. Competitions are a good way to get your team motivated. Give a reward for goals achieved, no matter how big or small. After all every small goal met is a step towards achieving the next goal.
Send out a weekly newsletter to everyone in your team. You could include tips for new people, recognition of goals or levels met, ideas for building your SFI business, the list is endless of what you can put in a newsletter. It does not have to be perfect but it must be informative and on a very regular basis. Ask for feedback from your team. Get ideas from people in your team on what works for them in building their business and share it in future newsletters with the rest of the team.
You have to encourage feedback and get the communication going two ways ( the ones who give you feedback on a regular basis are likely to be your active affiliates so you know who to work with)
Once the communication starts to flow back and forth ask for their ideas and opinions, get tips on what works for them and share it with the rest of the team (if you are given permission to do so)
It may take time to get your team actively involved as a community but if you are consistent with all your communications it will happen. It will start as a trickle and gradually become a flood as you earn peoples trust.
I hope that helps.

I will answer the last part of your question first. Which is the better business?
Well the only person who can answer that is you. That comes down to what you want out of a business. If for example you wanted unlimited income then a traditional bricks and mortar business would probably not be the way to go. You may have more opportunity to achieve that as an SFI Affiliate.
But both business models require the same principles to achieve success. Both types of business require dedication, self-motivation and discipline to get the job done.
But i believe any online business (including SFI) requires much more discipline and self-motivation than a traditional business. My reason for saying that in a traditional business you trade time for money whereas in an online business like SFI you build the business in your spare time for little or no immediate reward, with the money coming much later. You need discipline to be at your computer to build your online business while seeing little or no results. You need discipline to keep building your business when you encounter roadblocks and you wonder why you are doing it.
With an online business such as SFI you are only accountable to yourself. You start and finish when you like whereas with a traditional business it usually has a start and finish time and you have to be present during those times or else you do not make money.
Your SFI business can be run from anywhere in the world so long as you have an internet connection and a laptop. It can be run at any time of the day or night. And once you have an active team it never stops working for you ever.
The main difference between an online and traditional business is that a traditional business usually requires premises to trade from, usually require much more capital to get started and you have to carry inventory so you can trade. Plus you have the costs associated with having premises and stock.
In contrast SFI is free to join, training is free and the capital required is minimal to run your business.
But both are legitimate business models and should be treated as such. This is where I feel a lot if SFI Affiliates don’t do as well as they could is because it is not treated as a business but more as a hobby.

I hope that helps.

Successful Leaders in any field know that there is no secret to achieving success. They know it takes hard work and determination to get to where they want to go. Also they dont make excuses not to do the work involved but rather they find reasons to do the work needed to become successful.
Successful leaders are excellent at training and passing on the knowledge they have gained over the years and do what works and don't do what does not work for them.
But the most important thing successful leaders have is strong well thought out goals. To be successful in any endeavor it is vitally important to have strong goals to keep you on track especially when times get tough. Goals help you to stay focused on the end result.Goals need to be written down and read every day without fail. Your goals are your plan for success.
I hope this helps.
I wish you every success with your business
